The Ninth house became weakened when legal action against them finally succeeded. They lost most of their land to the other houses. This was compounded during the Dominion War. As a result, members of other houses took control of the Ninth house. | The Ninth house became weakened when legal action against them finally succeeded.

==Change of Name== | |||
In 2337, the Ukinix family applied to the [[Fifth House of Betazed]] to change the name of the Ninth House from the "House of Wealth" to the "House of Agriculture". As the majority of their wealth was from farm lands and agricultural practices on Betazed, representatives of the Ninth House claimed that the change of name was to "reflect the original true intention of [[Karawati]] herself for the Ninth House". However, it was seen largely as a public relations exercise. | |||
In 2342, after intense lobbying, the Fifth House approved the name change. Many members of the other houses considered the name change blasphemy. It ultimately served to draw further derision of the Ninth House. | |||
