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 unofficial administrative control of the Ninth house in 2375 given that Vaxa Ral was in exile. Representatives of some of the other houses 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. Other houses, led by the Fourth House, officially took administrative control of the Ninth House in 2376 for the purpose of slowly dissolving it<ref name="MessageInABottle">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/YJqJVDPK1ws/m/sZuCwSU-BAAJ ''"Message in a Bottle (Part 1)"''], Lt JG [[Wil Ukinix]], [[USS Veritas]], SD239605.07.</ref>. | The Ninth house did eventually become weakened when legal action against them finally succeeded.
