Betazed is the home world of the Betazed Empire.
History
Prior to 2256, the emperor of the Terran Empire conquered Betazed.
Sometime around the fall of the Terran Empire, the noble Houses of Betazed united and became known as "Wings" instead of Houses. Initially peaceful at first for a few years, they were soon at war with the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. Betazed became known as the "Betazed Empire", and the Unified House of Betazed fell under the leadership of the Ninth Wing[1] during Empress Kirilow Ukinix's reign of terror.
Delta Quadrant Presence
The spy wing of the Ninth Wing Noble Guard obtained Quantum Slipstream Drive technology from the Klingon-Cardassian alliance, allowing Betazed to produce their own QSD ships.
A nebula in the Delta Quadrant was discovered and surveyed by the Sixth Wing, who had found it rich in benamite. The empire colonised the planet Kirilow II in the Kirilow system within the nebula. A prison colony Idrustix was established on one of the moons orbiting a large gas giant in the same system. It was named after Tri’lea Polgonz’s mother Idrustix Polgonz, the Twentieth Wing matriarch being the first political prisoner incarcerated in the prison facility[2].
Government
Like the Terran Empire, they have employed an autocratic system of government that is simply called the Unified House of Betazed.
Leadership
Prior to 2396, Empress Vaxa Ukinix led the Empire. She was assassinated in 2396.
The Empire is currently led by Vaxa's granddaughter Mother Eternal Keehani Ukinix, Matriarch of the Ninth Wing and Mother Eternal of the Unified Houses of Betazed[2].
