The Sixth House of Betazed is one of the ancient noble houses on Betazed. To be a member of such a social class in Betazoid culture is to be considered descendants of the Goddess, Karawati, herself and a part of influential ancestry. The Sixth House is considered the House of Heart and Life.
Broadly speaking, the modern interpretation of the Sixth House's mission is one of maintaining the 'liveliness' or 'spirit' of Betazed and bolstering the relevancy of the Noble Houses - though various families and family members often vary on their personal take on the House's motivations.
A jaded Betazoid might describe the Sixth House's mission using the old Earth phrase, "bread and circuses," - vital distraction to appease and entertain the common folk into continued obedience. A member of the Sixth House, however, may feel that only stuffy ingrates believe entertainment to be frivolous.
It is perhaps, no surprise then, that the Sixth House is deeply involved in the landscape of political gossip and tabloids on Betazed and is often associated with scandal - though they are rarely at the center of it themselves.
