Ninth House of Betazed: Difference between revisions

Line 13: Line 13:
In approximately 2341, to force the Ninth house to "return" their land, six of the other houses joined together to begin legal action against the Ninth house, which was unprecedented.  Rumours began to spread that the youngest male member of the Ukinix family, Astradem, was ordered to temper the attitude of some of the other houses in whatever manner necessary.  This came to a head when it was discovered that Astradem was having an affair with the 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 Matriarch of the Fourth house confessing to having an affair - also with Astradem Ukinix.

The Fourth, Fifth and Tenth houses threatened further legal action against the Ninth house unless land was "returend" to them, and Astradem had no further contact with the other houses.  The Ninth house still refused to return lands, however it is alleged that The Ukinix family negotiated a marriage for Astradem with one of the members of the Sixth house in an attempt to diffuse the situation.  Astradem refused, so was stripped of his title and nobility by his parents.  The fate of Astradem is unknown.

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.
