==== Early History ====
 
When Angol was discovered by humans it was already a frozen planet, locked in orbit around a small, dying red star; Angol had been a habitable planet before the system primary began shrinking, with a fossil record which showed that life had existed on the planet before the world's oceans and atmosphere froze into glaciers that stretched across the planet.<ref name=DARWp72/>

When the [[Tikonov Grand Union]] joined the Capellan Confederation in [[2366]] the citizens of Angol appealed to the [[Terran Hegemony]] for protection, and the Hegemony obliged, incorporating Angol into the Hegemony. That led to a period of steady improvement in the standard of living for the population.<ref name=DARWp72/>

After the fall of the [[Star League]] the [[Federated Suns]] initially claimed the Angol, which found itself the tip of a Federated Suns salient into the Confederation for much of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. During the Succession Wars, the system was rapidly built up and its military garrison increased for use as a staging base for [[AFFS]] raids into Confederation space. It remained part of the Federated Suns until after the [[Jihad]].<ref name=DARWp72/>
