[edit] Overview
The planet Betazed is an important member world of the United Federation of Planets. The current Betazed Federation ambassador is Lwaxana Troi, daughter of the Fifth House, holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. Betazed has some level of a matriarchy. (TNG: "Angel One", "Manhunt", DS9: "The Forsaken")
Betazed hosted the biennial Trade Agreements Conference in 2366. (TNG: "Ménage à Troi")
The USS Enterprise-D passed fairly close to Betazed in late 2367 and diverted its course to pick up Lwaxana Troi. (TNG: "Half a Life")
Deep Space 9 was quite far from Betazed, although a transport from the station often left for the planet. (DS9: "The Muse")
Vash was unwelcome (persona non grata in Q's words) on Betazed. (DS9: "Q-Less")
The University of Betazed is located on Betazed. (TNG: "Tin Man", "Ménage à Troi", "Qpid")
[edit] History
During the Dominion War in 2374, Betazed was occupied by Dominion invasion forces. The Federation Tenth Fleet had been assigned to defend Betazed, but was caught out of position on a training exercise. As a result Betazed fell to the Dominion within ten hours. Once Betazed had been captured, other worlds nearby, including Vulcan, Tellar, Alpha Centauri and Andor were at risk of Dominion invasion. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight")
