Betazed house drama
Edit this Nav

The 4th House of Betazed is one of many ancient houses on Betazed. To be a member of such a social class in Betazoid culture is to be considered descendants of the Goddess, Karawati, herself and a part of influential ancestry.

The Fourth House is known as the House of Natural Art and Muses.

History

In 2300, The Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth and Twelfth Houses of Betazed join together to demand land from the Ninth House of Betazed. Their claim is that their undeveloped land was loaned to the Ninth House by other houses centuries earlier for the benefit of all of Betazed, but there is no historical record of this ever happening. As a result, the Ninth House denies their claims and sticks to the position that it’s their land. This becomes a political issue between the houses, who demand "their" now agriculturally rich land back.

In 2341 the Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, Twelfth houses join together to begin unprecedented legal action in the Betazoid Government Council against the Ninth house to get "their" land back.

Also in 2341, The Fifth House of Betazed revealed that Astradem Ukinix of the Ninth House of Betazed was having an affair with the then matriarch of the Tenth House. Subsequently, the Fifth house, being the house of nobility, warned all of the house matriarchs not to engage in "unsanctioned and secret romantic relationships" with members of other houses. This resulted in the then Matriarch of the Fourth House of Betazed confessing to having an affair - also with Astradem Ukinix[1].

In 2368, all legal action by the Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth and Twelfth houses against the Ninth House finally succeeded. As a result, The Sixth House received ownership of a vast amount of land from the Ninth House.

In 2375, The Fourth house in conjunction with the Third, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth and Twelfth houses unofficially took over administration of Ninth House, given its weakened position as a result of the Dominion War. An employee of the Fourth House was appointed to lead the administration. In 2376, the appointed administration legally became official after the Matriarch of the Ninth House reluctantly agreed to cede control. In late 2399, Adjudicator Shaetra Izemu of the Reconciliation Forums of Betazed ruled in favor of Keehani Ukinix's petition that Vaxa Ral be recognized as the matriarch of the Ninth House (with Keehani Ukinix as her matriarch ascendant) and ordered the governing board led by the Fourth House dissolved immediately, with complete control of the Ninth House's affairs given over to Ral.[2]

In a tragedy involving the Borg in 2381, all of the Kitain family were wiped out, greatly impacting the Fourth House's numbers.[3]

Administration of the Ninth House

From 2376-2399, employees of the Fourth House of Betazed administered the affairs of the Ninth House of Betazed, on behalf and commissioned by the Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, and Twelfth houses.[4]

The final executive administrator of the governing board was Kyri Taival, who served a three-year tenure before Adjudicator Shaetra Izemu of the Reconciliation Forums of Betazed ordered that complete control of the Ninth House be given over to Vaxa Ral, the newly recognized matriarch.
