Why you are here. The spice of Planet T is the richest deposit ever charted: it fuels fleets, fortunes and entire economies. The Landsraad charter grants the trade rights to whichever Great House holds the basin. Your house has staked everything on this claim. Lose it, and your name is struck from the ledgers.
What the other houses fight for. House Business wants the monopoly: spice is a balance sheet, and they intend to own every line of it. House Hustlers wants the flow: they move product fast, spend faster, and answer to no ledger. House Cryptos wants the ledger itself: they believe spice wealth should be mined, minted and held beyond any charter's reach. All three landed the same year. Only one can hold Planet T.
Why the Fremen must fall. The dust-born were here before any charter was signed. They burn harvesters, bleed refineries, and vanish before the turrets wake. As long as their camps stand, no claim on Planet T is worth the paper. Break the camps and the desert is yours to hold.
What waits in the Maw. Before the houses, before the Fremen, there was the Matrix: the machine-mind that ran this planet's first colony and never left. It has watched every harvest, counted every credit, whispered to every raider. It does not want the spice. It wants the planet quiet. Grow strong enough to unite Planet T and the Matrix will spend everything it has, Fremen, turncoats and worse, to break you at the Maw.
