Telepathic Homeworld Planet
Betazed (Homeworld of Deanna and Lwaxana Troi)
A telepathic planet and cultural hub for Betazoids, serving as the primary setting for abductions, Priority One transmissions, and the clash between Betazoid empathy and Ferengi mental shields. Key locations include the Uxbridge House and its surrounding scorched earth, where Lwaxana and Deanna are targeted. The planet's surface is distinct from the USS Enterprise-D orbiting above it.

Functional Role
Contextual reference point used to normalize Troi's method and to model an emotional strategy for Jeremy.
Symbolic Significance
Symbolizes empathic culture and the value of spoken grief versus silent, communal knowing.
Cultural background referenced rather than physical details
