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.

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 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 in 2376.
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 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.
