The Betazoids were a telepathic humanoid civilization originating from the planet Betazed. By the 24th century, Betazoids were an integral member race of the United Federation of Planets.

Betazoids had naturally strong telepathic abilities and were capable of sensing the emotions and thoughts of others with the exception of some races, such as Ferengi and Changelings. The abilities of some Betazoids extended further to the point that they were able to directly manipulate the minds of others. While the ability of others were so minimal that they could barely read emotions in others. Due to their telepathic abilities, Betazoid society tended to revolve around openness and honesty.
