Solar System
Betazed's star is a type G2V with five planets.
The innermost planet, Hynozad, appears as one of the brightest object in Betazed's sky. Hynozad is geologically inactive and has a smooth, light coloured surface, making it one of the most highly reflective planets ever discovered. It is little explored, fo the Betazoids have long attributed a spiritual significance to it and do not wish to treat it as just another plante to be poked at and catalogued.
Betazed is the second planet in the system and has three small moons: Avandar, Merandar and Keylandar. The moons all have distinct orbits and rarely appear in the same section of the sky. When all three moons cluster together it is considered a time of great significance.
The three outer planets Proxon, Avandar and Khrysaros are Class J gas giants with rings and several icy moons each.
Hainara IV (Avandar) is home to the system's orbital shipyards.
Climate
Betazed is consistently described as a lush, beautiful world.
Most of the continents are filled with great forests and rainforests broken up by grasslands and vast wetlands, especially near the coasts. Long rainy seasons typify spring weather on Betazed, but the summers are generally fair and temperate. Autmns and winters also tend to be mild and comfortable, but when the atmospheric conditions shift, they do so with startling speed. Rainstorms can be fierce, and often have natives sprint indoors at the first roll of thunder (it is also generally a good idea to bring an umbrella for outings of any length).
