The House of Courage is known for a strong tradition of martial arts such as [[Betazoid#Tassa.E2.80.99Akai|Tassa'Akai]], ties to various enterprises in the jungles of Betazed, and a particular interest in [[Betazoid#Music_of_Betazoid|music]] as a form of self-expression. Currently, it is a rather small house, having suffered numerous losses due to the Dominion. It also has ties to the [[Igre Family]].

==History==
In 2300, The [[Third House of Betazed|Third]], [[Fourth House of Betazed|Fourth]], [[Sixth House of Betazed|Sixth]], [[Seventh House of Betazed|Seventh]], [[Tenth House of Betazed|Tenth]] and [[Twelfth House of Betazed|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.
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.
The Third House was headed by Gart Xerx in the late 2350s, considered influential by Betazoids and well respected by the [[United Federation of Planets]].<ref>[http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Third_House_of_Betazed ''Third House of Betazed''], Memory Beta</ref> A Federation representative was sent to his daughter Chandra's wedding in 2359.<ref>[http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Gart_Xerx ''Gart Xerx''], Memory Beta</ref>
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 Seventh House received ownership of a sizeable amount of land from the Ninth House.
