Twentieth House of Betazed: Difference between revisions

The '''Twentieth House of Betazed''' is one of the [[Houses of Betazed|ancient noble houses]] on [[Betazed]]. The House was created in the honour of Beaxa Polgonz, a Betazoid whom went out of her way to leave Betazed during the early days of space travel and create and maintain the first Betazoid colony and it's inhabitants - the matter of her status as a descendant of the Goddess [[Karawati]] (and all Beaxa's descendants by extension) is a minor technicality that many modern Betazoids choose to overlook in favour of her Beaxa's commitment to progress. The House is often consulted regarding the establishment of new colonies by the Betazoid government.

Considerably younger than the other Houses, the Twentieth House is not held in such a high regard as compared to it's fellow Houses - in fact, it's status as 'nobility' is often called into question. As one of the smallest to date, more members were married or inducted into the House, rather than be born of it. Few of it's members saw the Dominion war in it's full scale, as the House tends to move around visiting [[Betazoid]] colonies within [[Federation]] space.  

The Twentieth House of Betazed was created to accommodate the induction of Beaxa Polgonz into the Betazed Hierarchy, following her contributions and support with exploration and space travel, establishing and maintaining the first Betazoid colony outside of the Betazed system as well as it's inhabitants.  

The Polgonz family has continued the tradition of maintaining Betazoid colonies far from their home system, though it has not been without it's politics. The family has continued to struggle finding and maintaining an overall house "mother", with few daughters willing or able to take the reins. The Betazoid media continues to insist on labeling the house as "cursed" with sons.
