Episode: "Angel One"

After having discovered the wreckage of the Federation freighter Odin, it is discovered that the ship's crew probably escaped the catastrophe as a number of escape pods were indeed missing; their most likely destination being planet Angel One. The social and political hierarchy on Angel One is predominatly female-oriented. Typically the women on this planet are physically larger, stronger and domineering, which has done much to cultivate a society that has relegated the men to being relatively demure and submissive. The planet's governing body, hosted by no less than six elected mistresses, hosted by Mistress Beata (referred to as "The Elected One"), are less than enthusisatic at the Enterprise's arrival but do at least prepare an icy welcome for Commander Riker's away team. After a little hesitancy, Beata admits to being aware of the presence of survivors from the freighter Odin, still led by the freighter's former captain, Ramsey; their official status on Angel One however has been escalated to that of fugitives. The government has deemed that Ramsey and his followers are disruptive, dangerous and even anarchic; as a result they've been in hiding ever since. Beata agrees to support Riker's team with whatever resources are necessary to locate the survivors of the Odin so long as once found they'll be ejected from the planet, never to return.

The away team have located Ramsey and the camp where he and his followers have been hiding out. Ramsey reveals his side to the government's judgement that he and his people are disruptive, dangerous... anarchic. Turns out the government grew tired of Ramsey's demonstrating on behalf of the men on Angel One, who for no other reason than they are men are subject to numerous customs and social practices of inequality maintaining their status as second class citizens.
