**TO DO**

Factions

House Ecaz

House Ecaz is known for it's touristic resorts, it's recreational drugs, and it's patronage for the Art. But behind this enticing exterior, the refined house and it's no less refined ruler, Archduchess Armanda, are ruthless and efficient defenders of their interests.

Smugglers

There’s a fine line between smugglers and full-fledged bandits, and Esmar Tuek is adept at walking that line. Smugglers can provide anything to anyone, provided they put the price… and do not look at the specifics too closely.

Fremen

Fremen are the only people native to Arrakis and will do anything to protect their way against the offworlders. While their leader, Liet-Kynes, doesn’t originally come from Dune, she is every bit as determined and attached to the planet as the next Fremen.

House Corrino

Imperial House Corrino has ruled the galaxy for ten millenia, and Shaddam IV intends to keep it that way. The situation on Arrakis calls for the direct intervention of the Padishah Emperor, who will use all His wit and the might of His administration to turn the war to His benefit.
