Over the course of the 2330s, there were rumours the Ukinix house tried to influence the opinion of other houses, and even attempt to take them over, by offering their daughters for arranged marriages with members of the other houses. Record of this happening, however, is scant and has never been proven. No female members of the Ukinix family ever married into other houses. | Over the course of the 2330s, there were rumours the Ukinix house tried to influence the opinion of other houses, and even attempt to take them over, by offering their daughters for arranged marriages with members of the other houses.

Rumours began to spread that the only male sibling of the Ukinix family, [[Astrad Ukinix|Astradem Ukinix]], 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 "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 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. | The Ninth house became weakened when legal action against them finally succeeded.
