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 the [[Four Deities]] had for the Ninth House".  However, it was seen largely as a public relations exercise.
