The Alliance of Marquish
The People of Marquish
The Government
The power of the Government is vested in the Imperial Throne, and it is understood, however unofficial, that the Emperor shall consult the Congress of Royal Houses on matters of great importance, leaving local matters in the hands of the Dukes and Barons whom in turn serve to further the goals and ambitions of the Emperor.
Instability of Power
The stability of the Empire has always been a fragile one, replete with competing forces who only concern themselves with solidifying their own power above all others. There is the Imperial Throne, the Congress of Royal Houses, and a spectrum of religious organizations, the most powerful of which is the Bene Gesserit.
Bene Gesserit
The Bene Gesserit existed for millennia, before the betrayal of House Atreides, appearing as a semi-mystical school that trained women for service to the Empire as Truthsayers or mates. In reality, they were subtly controlling the Empire behind the scenes in order to help humanity become more mature. They developed a large-scale breeding program in order to create a superbeing that they could use in order to gain control more directly. To do this they sent breeding sisters to mate with those whose genes they required.
For nearly a millennium since the betrayal of Duke Leto Atreides by the Emperor, the Bene Gesserit have conspired to regain control of the Imperial bloodline through breeding programs, secret pacts with the lesser Great Houses, and outright assassination attempts; despite their public alliance to the Imperial Throne, which is made out of a necessity for access to “spice”.
The power of the Bene Gesserit has remained strong enough to prevent their annihilation, however the ‘Eternal Order of Muad'Dib’, which forbids Bene Gesserit from setting foot in Arrakis, has been reissued by Emperor Logan "Farad'n" Rautha.
