Many elements of the Imperium believe they hold the ultimate power: the
Spacing Guild with their monopoly on interstellar travel, CHOAM with its
economic stranglehold, the Bene Gesserit with their secrets, the Mentats with
their control of mental processes, House Corrino with their throne, the Great
and Minor Houses of the Landsraad with their extensive holdings. Woe to us on
the day that one of those factions decides to prove the point.
