Dune - Part 7: House Corrino

House Corrino has held the Imperial throne for generations. Shaddam IV has lived a long life due to the effects of the spice, Melange. Yet, he and his Bene-Gesserite sooth-sayer, Reverend Mother Gaius Hellen Mohiam, are wary of House Atreides, in particular, of the Duke's only son, Paul.

Dune - Part 6: House Harkonnen

House Harkonnen is well known for maintaining an iron rule. The decadence of its Barron, Vladamir, is infamous, as is the cruelty of his eldest nephew, the Beast Rabban. Surrendering the Quasi-fiefdom of planet Arakis is part of a well-conceived plan to rid the Barron and the Emperor of Duke Leto.

Dune - Part 5: House Atreides

House Atreides has been feuding with House Harkonnen for centuries. As a kinsman of the Emperor, a popular figure in the Lansraad, and an astute military leader, Duke Leto Atreides is a threat to the Emperor.
