| ===History===
| |
| Prior to 2256, the emperor of the {{Ma|Terran Empire}} conquered Betazed.
| |
| | |
| Sometime around the fall of the Terran Empire, the noble {{Ma|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 {{Ma|Klingon-Cardassian Alliance}}. Betazed became known as the "Betazed Empire", and the Unified House of Betazed fell under the leadership of the Ninth Wing{{SimRef|SIMTITLE=Clean|SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/PIm0iQNeUOE/m/3A490i3XCwAJ|CHARACTERS=Commander [[Wil Ukinix]] and First Secretary [[Keehani Ukinix]]|SHIP=[[Amity Outpost]]|STARDATE=240006.15}} 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 Doyoxo Polgonz (mirror)|Tri’lea Polgonz’s]] mother Idrustix Polgonz, the Twentieth Wing matriarch being the first political prisoner incarcerated in the prison facility<ref name="Scorn" />.
| |
| | |
| ===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 [[Keehani Ukinix (mirror)|Mother Eternal Keehani Ukinix]], Matriarch of the Ninth Wing and Mother Eternal of the Unified Houses of Betazed{{SimRef|SIMTITLE=A Mother's Scorn|SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/ZPshNMQtBWk/m/_KnJYdPXCwAJ|CHARACTERS=[[Keehani_Ukinix_(mirror)|Mother Eternal Keehani Ukinix]]|SHIP=Amity Outpost|STARDATE=240006.15|REFNAME=Scorn}}.
