History[]
As the star Betelgeuse was entering a later stage of life, heading toward a supernova that would endanger worlds for parsecs around it, the Betelgeusians migrated out of the region, living on space stations and starships. (TOS novel: Ex Machina)
In 2270, during a conversation with Ambassador Sarek and Spock regarding non-interference, T'Pala cited Betelgeuse II and Yonada as examples of situations where external aid seemed necessary. She also cited Halcyon and Capella IV as worthy of Federation intervention. (TOS novel: Mindshadow)
