Standing orders exist for Bene Gesserit that anyone believed to be Abomination are to be immediately killed.

   Abomination and the Great Temptation: While Abomination is primarily used to describe being overwhelmed by the ego-memory of an ancestor, Alia and Lady Jessica also use the term to describe those who have succumbed to the Great Temptation: altering their internal chemistry to arrest the aging process and live indefinitely. When she first sees the fact that Alia has not aged at all since she last saw her, she realizes that the apparent rumors amongst the Bene Gesserit that her daughter is engaged in these forbidden practices are true.

   Keys: alia

   "The Fremen see her as the Earth Figure, a demi-goddess whose special charge is to protect the tribes through her powers of violence. She is Reverend Mother to their Reverend Mothers. To pilgrims who seek her out with demands that she restore virility or make the barren fruitful, she is a form of anti-mentat. She feeds on that strong human desire for the mysterious. She is living proof that the 'analytic' has limits. She represents ultimate tension. She is the virgin-harlot - witty, vulgur, cruel, as destructive in her whims as a coriolis storm."

   The surface of Arrakis consists almost exclusively of dry dune deserts, hence the planet's alternative name, Dune. Various weathered mountain ranges stretch across the planet, breaking up the deserts and sheltering the limited native lifeforms. Rock outcroppings also litter the planet's surface. Little native life survives on Arrakis, owing to its scorching heat and dry climate. The various lifeforms that do endure are eclipsed by the sandworms, which roam the deep deserts of the planet. The sandworms play an important role in the production of melange, and they aggressively protect their desert territory from humans and other sandworms alike.

    Keys: tleilaxu, bene tleilax

    Bene Tleilax, or the Tleilaxu as they are more commonly called, are a group of secretive, genetically altered humans who inhabit Tleilax, the sole planet of the star Thalim. The customs and ethics of the Bene Tleilax led to widespread revulsion by the other cultures of the Known Universe, a reaction that does little to quench the Tleilaxu's hunger to subjugate their rivals. Their skills with genetic engineering, however, make them effectively a "necessary evil".

    Classes: The Tleilaxu are separated into several different classes, each of which has a distinct physical appearance and role within their society. The primary groups are: Tleilaxu Masters Axlotl Tanks Face Dancers

14. #14Butlerian Jihadselective

    Keys: Butlerian Jihad

    "We must negate the machines-that-think. Humans must set their own guidelines. This is not something machines can do. Reasoning depends upon programming, not on hardware, and we are the ultimate program! Our Jihad is a "dump program." We dump the things which destroy us as humans!"
    ― Minister-companion of the Jihad
    

    The Butlerian Jihad, also known as the Great Revolt as well as commonly shortened to the Jihad, was the crusade against computers, thinking machines, and conscious robots that began in 201 BG and concluded in 108 BG. The results of the Butlerian victory are:

    Keys: chapterhouse

    Chapterhouse is the term used by the Bene Gesserit for the planet considered to be their home base. This planet has changed over the centuries of the existence of the Bene Gesserit. Speculation would put the original Bene Gesserit home base on the planet Rossak.

    The planet used as the secret headquarters of the Bene Gesserit is seen as a temporary base, and because of this the planet is never quite 100% settled and if needed, the Bene Gesserit can completely abandon the planet in very short notice leaving very little trace of their time spent.

    Chapterhouse has been the same planet for more than 1500 years, which means "temporary" headquarters is somewhat of a loose term.

18. #18CHOAMselective

    Keys: CHOAM, Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles

    Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles (CHOAM) is one of the major galactic organisations in the Imperium, a gigantic monopoly encompassing all forms of commerce across the Imperium which essentially control all economic affairs across the cosmos, although it relies upon the Spacing Guild for transport across space due to the Guild's monopoly on faster-than-light travel. CHOAM touches almost all products the Guild will transport, from art forms to technology and of course melange. Many Houses depend on CHOAM profits, and an enormous proportion of those depend on melange. Most economic ventures are conducted through CHOAM, in which the Imperial House, the Landsraad, the Bene Gesserit and the Spacing Guild all have a stake.

The tip of a crysknife is also commonly poisoned, with an unnamed poison residing where the nerve of the tooth used to be. This poison is quick-acting and powerful.

    Crysknives usually came in two forms: Unfixed: Knives where the blade will disintegrate unless they are kept close to a human body's electrical field, Fixed: Knives that have been treated so that they will not disintegrate, and can be put into storage.

20. #20Deathstillselective

    Keys: deathstill

    A Deathstill is a place where the water of a person's dead body can be reclaimed. On Arrakis, water is the most precious commodity. According to Fremen tradition, a man's water belongs to his tribe. As a result, the Fremen developed deathstills as a way of reclaiming the water of their dead, since it belongs to the tribe, and the dead have no further use of it. The Fremen also put the deathstills to use for reclaiming the water of their enemies. It is usual practice for Fremen women and children to go through a battlefield when fighting is over, killing the wounded soldiers of the enemies with their crysknives, so that their water can be reclaimed in the deathstills.

Two decades later, Mohiam had become the Truthsayer to Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV and tested the young Paul Atreides before his departure for Arrakis with the gom jabbar. The test was to discover whether Paul was "truly human" by trial of pain, using a small box that Paul placed his hand inside. The pain inflicted on Paul was caused by nerve induction and clearly drained an incredible amount of energy from the Reverend Mother, since no male or female child had ever withstood that much physical pain before.

    Physical Description: To enable their prescience, Guild Navigators not only consume large quantities of the spice, but are also continuously immersed in highly-concentrated amounts of orange spice gas housed in large tanks. This level of extreme and extended exposure causes their bodies to atrophy and mutate over time, their heads and extremities elongating. The first external sign of melange-induced metabolic change is visible in the eyes, as the drug tints the sclera and iris to a dark shade of blue. The shade of blue is known to be called "blue-in-blue" or "the Eyes of Ibad," "a total blue so dark as to be almost black." This is a common side effect in all spice addicts.

49. #49Hunter-seekerselective

    Keys: hunter-seeker

    The hunter-seeker is a deadly tool used by assassins. The tiny floating tadpole-like machine is remotely controlled by an operator situated close by.

    Stats Velocity: up to 25 meters per second Length: 1 centimeter Mass: Negligible Range: up to 50 meters Ammunition: Single needle

    Operation and Technology: The device floats through the air, using a tiny Holtzman Field Generator to maneuver. The tip holds a camera that transmits a video signal back to the operator. Vision is distorted by the compressed suspensor field. Once detected, the target is almost guaranteed to be killed. The killing device itself is a tiny needle, tipped with a quick-acting, lethal poison. The needle is retracted until a target is acquired, at which point it appears, shortly before the device shoots into the victim.

    Counteraction: Destroying a Hunter-seeker is rather simple. Like any machine, it can be destroyed by being smashed or submerged in water. Paul Atreides employed both means to destroy a Hunter-seeker that had been launched to kill him on Arrakis, shortly before the invasion of House Harkonnen.
