Conclusion: The Troi are the oldest family name, appearing at 34% while the Suder family name likely emerges at 26%. Discovered at 26%, Uttaberries are an ancient food source of the Betazoid peoples.
Planetary Government is achieved at 17% and Betazed is now governed from the planetary Capitol of Medara. The Betazoid Culture peaks at 13% with the relocation of the Capital of Betazed from Medara to Rixx. El'nar Lake is formed at this time.
The Janaran falls and Janaran Sanctuary dont exist until 8% so are likely an artificial construct, or a part of wilderness not known until recently settled.
The Muktot plant appears at 4%. Its likely introduced to Betazed as is the Betazed Cat. The lake of Cataria is formed at this time.
