The Fourth, Sixth, and Tenth houses threatened further legal action against the Ninth house unless land was "returned" 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 was unknown until 2396, when it was discovered he had moved to Earth, and had started a family. | The Fourth, Sixth, and Tenth houses threatened further legal action against the Ninth house unless land was "returned" to them, and Astradem had no further contact with the other houses.

After Astradem was stripped of his title, his parents offered their oldest daughter Vaxa for betrothal to a member of the Sixth House of Betazed along with a large amount of land. This arrangement fell through when it was discovered that Vaxa was pregnant to an employee by the Ninth house. Kirilow and Alacem threatened to strip Vaxa of her title, but with mounting legal action involving the other Betazed houses, Vaxa's parents feared that would have weakened the Ninth House legally and politically. Instead, Vaxa was forcibly offered a plot of land owned by the Ninth House in the Piri Islands, effectively placing Vaxa in exile. | |||
The Ninth house | The Ninth house did eventually become 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 when the Ninth House Estate, located on the Araraniax Village outskirts at Arandel was destroyed, killing Kirilow, Alacem, Reayi and Teaxixa. As a result, members of other houses took control of the Ninth house in 2376. Representatives of all of the other houses (excluding the Fifth House who refused to get involved) asked Vaxa Ukinix to abdicate her Matriarchy. When she refused, they threatened to take her plot of land away from her. Eventually after multiple protracted legal battles, Vaxa and the Houses settled on letting Vaxa retain her land and her title, provided she changed her and Keehani's family name. Vaxa chose the name "Ral", the family name of her dead de facto partner Itum. | ||
