Entire Life of Spacing Guild from Dune – Mutant Humans Who Monopolized Space Travel for 15,000 Years

[Music] how was your journey with many machines on use one of the most integral parts of the D universe is the fact that Interstellar travel is as close to instantaneous as it gets technology is one of the fundamental considerations every novelist has to Grapple with when creating their fictional worlds fantasy can get away with stranding its characters in medieval settings but Science fiction requires technological advancement as a baseline consideration Frank Herbert found a great way of circumventing the need to get into complex machine Language by making his world society live in the Middle Ages while

having technology that far surpasses anything we possess and the crowning Jewel of this circumvention was the spacing Guild The Guild is the only organization in the Imperium that makes faster than light travel safe and their Existence is so embedded within the fabric of the dunivin but why did the space and Guild come into existence how did turn into the political Juggernaut that it was before the time of muad D and what happened to its Monopoly over space travel in the long run in this video we'll address all those factors and more so without further Ado

this is the entire 15,000 plus year life of the spacing Guild explored before we get Into our explanation though we have a very small request if you like our content please support us by subscribing to the channel it's a small click for you but for us it means a lot thought thank you let's begin how humans traveled through space before the guild and why it was needed before we get too deep into this video we want to make a few things clear a lot of our information is going to be a mix of details from

the original Dune novels Brian Herbert's expanded daverse and the Dune encyclopedia in most cases we'll be prioritizing the canonicity of the first two because Dune prophecy does the same thing and some of the stuff written in the encyclopedia is just too contradictory but we'll be making note of a few interesting facts and tidbits from it that are relevant to the overall franchise so keep an eye out for those now that we have that warning out of the way let's begin by saying it's baffling That an organization like the spacing Guild was never in place during

Humanity's original expansion to the stars but that's just how it is the spacing Guild becomes such an important part of the universe by the time of paulat trates that it's for Al incorporation starts the Imperial calendar because much like the birth of Christ it changed the way Humanity perceived space and time itself before the guild instead of using spice fueled Space jumping they used conventional technology to reach the Stars which was a lot more diverse and a lot slower Humanity had already spent thousands of years exploring the Galaxy but they did so through a mixture

of varied space fairing technology none of which was standardized faster than light travel was possible but it wasn't instantaneous and exact actly how it was made possible has never been properly explained the old Empire's method of space travel is Simply described as being able to outrun photons but exactly how that's accomplished through their engines isn't specified there were all sorts of Starship classes ranging from low to mid-capacity fighter jets called Kel to the carrier class ballist which were one of the few ships with an Interstellar travel capacity Kels would be only deployed in battles and

on planets for instance while biste would carry machinery and people from point A to Point B utilizing FTL travel using a combination of these and other Starship classes mankind spread throughout the Milky Way galaxy and soon established itself as the ruling species of that system and yes before you ask us whether AI was involved it most likely was the computational challenges of traveling through space alone would necessitate guiding systems that were precise enough to avoid astronomical debris while ensuring a stable speed that made Reaching the destination faster than one would believe salusa Aus one of

the foremost planets of the old Empire and the location of the league of nobles was about 130 Lighty years away from Earth using the old conventional machine driven FTL travel method a Starship could cover that distance in just over a month we wish we were joking about that number but Xavier harinen himself says as much in Dune the but larian Jihad we know how ridiculous this sounds because The Dune encyclopedia takes it upon itself to impress just how difficult faster than light space travel was for Humanity to achieve this is much faster than the amount

of time it takes for light itself to reach Earth from soloa star system saloa AIS is located in the gamma wiping system which is the Chinese name for the Pisces constellation light from this system star gamma piscium hits Earth after 135 years of travel so somehow the Brian Herbert starships were Fast enough to outrun light but not fast enough to make space travel instantaneous we're pretty sure scientists were banging their heads on all kinds of walls when they heard that certain Starship classes from the old empire were flying faster than light and were still not

the Pinnacle of space travel but keeping the scientific dilemma aside this system of using machine technology persisted for Millennia with artificial intelligence Eventually accounting for well over half of Humanity's navigational systems though we as a species had achieved the Apex form of colonization we were still divided amongst ourselves and if you ask us that was the real beginning of the need for a space Guild in theuniverse the old Empire was one of whimsical Indulgence and gluttonous sin it didn't matter what kind of extreme taboo subject they were looking to explore with their minds and bodies

so long as Vice existed they'd explore all forms of it and antagonize their fellow human beings while they were at it this was an ERA where there was no great convention preventing Warfare between nations and planets Humanity was free to construct and Destroy according to its heart's desire and slavery was a staple of the era you'd think that being an ADV Advanced Planet colonizing species that we'd rise above such things but you'll find that progression and regression Often go hand inand Humanity might have exploded beyond the confines of the Sun but it didn't forget its

inherent human nature War discrimination and excess became the norm as opposed to the exception and the tribe of humans that got the worst of this were the practitioners of the buddh Islamic faiths religion wasn't uniform in this world there were thousands of faiths each having millions of followers in turn the Buddha islamics were persecuted Throughout the old Empire for their pacifistic nature and faith in the higher Mysteries as opposed to the more modernized mind of the Contemporary human several Buddha Islamic groups spread to the fringes of the known universe to escape persecution but those who

couldn't were forced to live life in brutal slavery we'll address this more in a few moments but for now what's important is that slavery became a common phenomenon during the rise of the Machines which is where the need for the spacing Guild stems from as well some 2,000 years be G or before Guild Humanity was subjugated by a group of 20 cybernetically augmented people who called themselves Titans these Titans were born from Human stagnation because for thousands of years mankind had made no real progress in any field of relevance they were so busy indulging their

desires and stoking their own differences that they ended up going Inert in terms of civilizational progress and this lack of ambition opened them up to a coup the Titans led by Agamemnon Juno and Talos used their scientific genius barbar roa's new gel circuitry based program to infect the old Empire's AI systems they were backed by the funding of the prince of rodale 9 who took for himself the name Xerxes in a very short period of time all of the robotic Servants of the empire fell under Titan control and thus did the age Of Titans begin

it was a harsh survival of the fittest kind of age that lasted for a century Humanity was enslaved by the Titans based on their perceived Superior ority and those that escaped the Titans grasp were hunted down with extreme prejudice however not all humans fell victim to this AI attack a group of about 10,000 worlds that was a few dozen Lighty years away from Earth formed a resistance group called The League of nobles this league had not digitized Itself entirely so they were able to avoid the Titans AI attack and set up a Nexus of human

resistance when the simex Came Calling the followers of the Buddha Islamic Traditions spread to the outer reaches of of the Milky Way galaxy occupying planets like tulaa and araus the Zen sufis of tulaa would evolve into the Benet Tac from the main series and The zenuni Wanderers that ended up on araus would evolve into the freman these groups felt that the arrival of the SIC Army was a sign of the end times so they refused to participate in Humanity's War of Attrition against them and were persecuted heavily for it the Buddha islamics couldn't escape slavery

whether they were living on human or machine worlds because both sides saw that them as lesser beings the Titans through their unnatural Evolution came to view all of humanity as being an inferior species and humans disgusted by the buddhis lamics pacifist stance at a time Of existential crisis sought to use them as they saw fit to collect the debt they owed to humanity one of these groups of zenuni Wanderers was enslaved on the planet patrin which is why freman tradition records it as being their home World we'll get to why that's a misconception in another

section but the reason we bring up patrin is because it was the planet where Humanity finally managed to make a technological breakthrough that would render Artificial intelligence obsolete in a manner of speaking the main reason that the discovery of a new system of interstellar travel became crucial was the rise of the thinking machines once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free but that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them the Titans exploited much of Humanity's total Reliance on artificial intelligence to Stage a blood less

but Highly effective takeover they then ruled over their inferiors for 10 decades but the human desire for Freedom surpasses any sort of logic or machine predictability within 80 years of Titan rule Humanity began rebelling against them and it was one of these rebellions that led to the birth of omnus the Titan Xerxes who was the sponsor of the age of Titans and the ruler of what would become I seeded too much control to his planet's AI system in an effort to Protect it from Rebellion xerx unb bridled Hedonism allowed the AI to gain sentience and

once it did it immediately enslaved its own masters the AI system gave itself the name omnus and proceeded to bring every World under Titan and human control over to its sphere of influence omnus couldn't kill the Titans no matter how much he wished to because of a fail safe hardcoded into his program so he used them as His pawns instead he created update ships to send Spheres made of gel circuitry technology to every planet under machine rule these spher would then assemble themselves into a version of omnus and by synchronizing the data of all his

incarnations omnus created an artificial intelligence hive mind called the Evermind the more sophisticated the Evermind got the more power it would possess over space flight until it became the sole authority over all of space travel the league of Nobles Ballist and other classes of starship were prepared for battle but with technophobia Rising within the ranks of humanity it was going to be difficult to come up with a way to counter omas's Superior Tech technology for close to a millennium the league of Nobles and the thinking machines were locked in a war of attrition instead of

conducting major military offensives they relied on sabotage and every few decades omnus would send in a fleet to try and trip Over Humanity's hand the last time he organized a major campaign was in 303 BG when he unsuccessfully attacked the league Capital salusa sakundes the reason for omnia's slow and deliberate approach was multi-dimensional but to put it rather plainly he didn't didn't hate Humanity nearly as much as the Titans did to him they were a resource and as a productive Enterprise his job was to protect that Resource as much as possible he would even make

bets against Other thinking machines with regards to Humanity's loyalty towards the synchronized Empire so to call his thoughts on free humans complex would be an understatement it wasn't as though he wasn't inclined to finish them off he just wasn't willing to do it without good reason that reason presented itself to him in the form of a losing bet and he resumed hostil ities with Humanity in 203 BG when he sent a massive Armada to salusa sakundes humanity was able to Defend itself from omnia's Armada thanks to the quick wit and firm actions of Xavier harinen

but in doing so they also understood that the only way to be technology was with technology this is where the most important recognized inventor in human history comes into play the man called Holtzman the pompous Savant the ambitious Merchant and their hidden G genius the Dune encyclopedia and Brian Herbert's expanded Dune books have several differences but there are a Few basic outlines and characters that are common between the two these characters in turn have become Inseparable from the history of the spacing Guild no matter how different their names might be across the franchise's literature in

the Dune encyclopedia the butlerian Jihad is a consequence of the death of a child but the manner in which it unravels is more like a horror Thriller film in it house reesi is the most dominant technological Power in the known universe and the planet Kom is one of their most important planets on that planet a Woman by the name of Jihan Butler enters a hospital expecting the safe and successful delivery of her child but ends up being faced with the tragedy of losing it instead Jihan discovers that her loss was not a natural occurrence it

was part of a wider conspiracy concocted by the machine administrators of the hospital and indeed the planet because The thinking machines had long since taken control of their masters Jihan sparked the but larian Jihad on komos which would later become X and it was from this planet that the creator of the most important piece of tech also emerged Norma senva the Dune encyclopedia renames her Norma senva but she is acknowledged as being one of the first humans with precient abilities in Frank Herbert's novels and in the extended duners she's basically a god We'll talk about

that more as we progress further down the rabbit hole but according to the Dune encyclopedia once the but larian Jihad was over senva and her husband Aurelius vport ramped up their Research into non-computational methods of space travel because their efforts involved the use of Technology they were banished from I and after wandering the stars for a few years the aurelian Exiles reached the planet tupile tupile had been ravaged by the Butlerian during the early stages of the Jihad but over time its location was lost to the known universe when the Exiles reached the planet around

100 BG they were able to take advantage of the populace hatred towards the batarians and established centers for research that eventually resulted in the creation of fold space technology Norma senva was the one who figured out the secret to navigating through hyperspace safely when she used the spice Mage thanks to The influence of her benees friend Leona and unraveled the secrets of prean she captained the first highliner called the Golden Advent and Norma's big mistake was thinking that the human mind could replace the computational and navigational abilities of a thinking machine she hooked her own

brain up to the Advent command systems and the sheer effort of steering it through hyperspace rendered her catatonic Norma ended up dying when her husband Aurelius Disappeared while seeking to perfect and repair her technology but her work lived on through the tup palons the tupan member Freo Mason of Aurelius and Norma's research Society assumed control of the highliner project and made it exclusive to T pile's culture in identity his son jasta expanded the fleet and in the year 12 BG established contact with the Corino Empire to find a place for his people within the Imperium

the spacing Guild's offer to provide Safe passage to all subjects of the corinos in exchange for secrecy with regards to their home world and a complete Monopoly over space travel became the Third Leg of the tripod that stabilized the Imperium for 10 Millennia The Guild agreed to reinforce the terms of the great convention and turn tupile into an exile planet after the signing of the convention any house that was defeated in a war of Assassins or violated Conley would be packed off to Tupile the secrecy of its location would ensure that they were never hunted

down by their enemies and it would protect Guild Secrets at the same time this version of the spacing Guild's history is rather intriguing and holds some of the most scientific explanations for how space travel works in the daverse but sadly it's not Cannon to the Dune prophecy timeline because we know that show follows the Brian Herbert books and the events described in them are wildly Different to what the Dune encyclopedia tells us perhaps the only thing that's carried over unchanged to the extended D universe is the fact that tupile is the spacing Guild's hidden Exile

Planet because in Dune Messiah Paul tries pressuring The Guild into revealing its location apart from that most other things are different including the characters of aus and Norma as well as the founder of the Holtzman effect the Dune encyclopedia tells us that the Holtzman effect was discovered by the son of the planetary governor of liesco 2 the mathematical genius known as Ibraham Von Holtzman through a series of Unfortunate Events Holzman was transformed into a thinking machine with the capacity to deeply think about physics philosophy and the secrets of the universe Holzman was launched into space

by those who pursued his knowledge but he beat them by putting himself in a stasis and placing his body in a Particular orbit every couple of Millennia or so he would come close to his home planet and when he did he would regain Consciousness during the time he was active he transmit his discoveries to humanity and help it evolve before returning to his Slumber and repeating the proc process all over again when Ibraham began his journey humans and thinking machines coexisted by his fifth pass the butlerian Jihad was at an end and Humanity was bent

upon eradicating All thinking machines even ones that had helped them Advance their technology by light years ibrahim's original work focused on the mysterious suspensor nullification effect which made space flight possible across the known universe but through his own ponderings he discovered the principle that made it work the Holtzman effect this techn logical Dex mocha can only be described as a new Universal Force whose Discovery altered the course of life itself to put It in as simple terms as possible the Holtzman effect governs the attractive and repulsive forces between subatomic particles to such an extent that

its application on a three-dimensional level can affect the SpaceTime Continuum the effect theoretically exists everywhere at all points in time but to access it there are a few basic requirements the Holtzman effect in its most basic form form manifests as a Holtzman wave the Holtzman wave is related to light and The electromagnetic spectrum but it's not of that Spectrum for whereas light is radiation it induces heat in substances which absorb it the Holtzman wave or h-wave induces a kinetic Force light encourages vibration in one manner I.E spatially but the h-wave encourages another form of vibration

a Quantum SL temporal vibration because of this temporal relationship a number of things are possible when the h-wave is properly used it makes the transmission of radio Signals from one end of the universe to the other near instantaneous by causing SpaceTime to form micro catastrophic folds along a selectable Vector leading to the excitation of local matter this produces longwave radio emissions receivable by normal antenna according to a theory the background radio emissions which blanket the visible Universe are Holtzman waves Transmissions of civilizations in the galactic core which makes its Theoretical range infinite by using a

Holtzman field generator one could create a Holtzman shield and a Holtzman suspensor both of which appli different aspects of Ibraham unified theory the Holtzman Shield is an energy blanket that covers the user's body in a Holtzman field whose permeability is determined by the velocity of an object entering it this allows its user to breathe and move freely without getting crushed by the pressure difference Whilst discouraging fast attacks against them hzman Shields necessitated the creation of a new style of fighting for the entire un universe and that was just the beginning Holzman suspensors effectively negate gravity

with relation to the mass of an object allowing them to levitate in midair these suspensors are responsible for the floating Baron memes that went viral around the time Dune part 2 came out as well as the glow globes that you see following characters In the new Dune adaptations but perhaps the greatest use of the Holtzman effect comes from its ability to fold space itself and this ladies and gentlemen is why all of what we've just told you guys is relevant to the foundations of the spacing Guild the Dune encyclopedia takes a more realistic approach to

its scientific advancement Frank Herbert never really went into the mechanics of his technology or science instead choosing to focus on worldbuilding Details this was done with the encyclopedia and through the extended Universe like we mentioned at the end of the previous segment the name Holtzman changed the way the known universe perceived space in time itself but unlike the encyclopedia's version of events the extended D Universe discovered its effects far later in the timeline and under far different circumstances like we mentioned at the beginning of this segment though most Details in all sequel material to Frank

Herbert's original work clash with one another there are a few that managed to survive crossing the bridge of canonicity though the 7,000 year-old Ibraham Von Holtzman didn't make it his surname did his first name was repackaged to Teo which is a weirdly appropriate nod to Hector salamona because this guy was as ruthless as that mob boss from the breaking bag Universe Tio Holtzman was the man to discover the Holtzman effect in the extended duners unlike the Dune encyclopedia in Brian Herbert's work the theory came before the practical application from his discovery of the Holzman effect

Tio devised Scrambler technology which was a key line of defense against the thinking machine threat omnus and his entire Empire was built upon gel circuitry which was very difficult to disable through conventional means if you tried to shoot it or blow it up it would Repair itself at an alarming speed and shutting one down was only possible if it were captured first bolman's Scrambler technology would instantly fry the gel circuitry of any omnus controlled robot or spaceship making it the first proper line of defense Against the Machine Empire using the Scrambler web as a baseline

other weapons like Scrambler grenades were developed to shut down thinking machines on the field of battle but there was a major Oversight in holzman's design Scrambler technology could only work against gel circuitry if a league world was attacked by simex who had me iCal bodies but organic brains his scramblers would be ineffective against them and this led to the need for further innovation in holtzman's work as a modern-day Sant Tio was more concerned with keeping up his image rather than innovating on his discoveries because he was quite frankly out of ideas though his technology Promised

protection against the machines it failed to work as advertised during the omnus attack on salusa secundus that we mentioned in the first segment if Xavier hekinan had not taken control of that situation the leag would have lost its capital and Tio would have lost his head because he did the Savant was spared but public opinion of him deteriorated drastically he knew he had to come up with something new to regain their favor which is when he met the Person that would actually revolutionize human history Norma senva in the Dune encyclopedia Norma is an ixian scientist

who uses Ibraham Von holzman's unified effect Theory to develop spaceships capable of instantaneous hyperspace travel she has help from a benad jessat sister her husband D elius and the entire population of the Hidden World of tupile which ends up becoming the spacing Guild secret home world in the extended Universe She is a daughter of a Rosac sorceress who goes on to shape The benages Sisterhood and the spacing Guild as we know it the word rosac has only been used a couple of times by Frank Herbert the most prominent use of it comes from his first

novel when lady Jessica became a reverend mother she saw the entire history of freman sadia's race through her mind after taking the Water of Life and including the Inception point at rosac where the first Cadia took the rosac drug the freman are Descended from The zenuni Wanderers who were said to stop at rosac for a few Generations during their Eternal migration so it makes sense that it would be a hot bed for sisterhood activity what makes it so unique is the fact that its inhospitable environment is what created the benages or at least was responsible

for their creation rosac is a mostly volcanic planet with a deadly atmosphere and several poisonous plants whose toxins had no known cures The environment of rosac was so awful that it often caused genetic defects in the children born on the planet leading to early death or extremely tough lives at the very least only a handful of children survived these conditions and retained the appearance of regular humans and those that did were granted psychic powers the conditions on rosac were crucial to the development of many benages skills like the precise manipulation of One's Own anatomy and

The ability to unlock the precient eye before The Sisterhood had came into contact with the spice they used an awareness Spectrum narcotic called the rosac drug to undergo the agony the first fman say adinia took the rosac drug to open her precient eye long before the zenuni migrated to oracus human occupation of the planet was relatively recent and yet the sorceresses of rosac had risen up to become a formidable power close to the Time of the Jihad they were extremely chauvinistic women who looked down on the people of their Planet because they couldn't survive like

them the deformed children of their subset of humans were called misor and were often taken into the wild jungles of the planet and left to die Norma SVA was supposed to suffer a similar fate but for some reason she didn't and that one act of kindness changed the entire Cosmos she was born the daughter of the Sorceress Supreme of Rosac zua senva zua was a woman who believed her duty to the order to be her entire life's work and to that end she pretty much micromanaged their genetic breeding program including her own reproduction zua carefully

selected every mate she'd ever had in her life to ensure that her own genes were passed down to the best possible quality of human even after she'd become a mother zua chose the wealthy rosac businessman Aurelius vport for her mate a man who Had grown Rich dealing with the plants and poisons of his world yet for some reason the only child she'd managed to give birth to for a long time was the malformed dwarf woman we call Norma zua abored her child in the beginning and shunned her at every given turn she left Norma in

the care of Aurelius pretty much and didn't even pay attention to the fact that she was clearly a mathematical Prodigy even as a young child Norma was coming up with equations That rivaled those of the Savant Tio Holtzman so Aurelius who cared for the girl decided to give her the environment she deserved he went against zufa wishes and sent one of Norma's papers to Tio who was so impressed by her work that he invited her to portran become his research assistant a RW sack sorceress could use her psychic abilities to create a shock wave that

killed any brain within a certain blast radius they turned the power of the Mind into a Physical weapon with tangible consequences that ended up turning the Wrath of the machines towards them the Titan barbar roa's killing at the hands of sorceress heoa made rosac one of omnia's primary targets and he attacked the planet every single time he made a move against humanity but Norma used her mind to create something that went beyond Warfare she created an entirely new wing of Technology during her time with aelius vport Norma took his Discovery of the Holtzman effect to

new heights by developing The Shield the suspensors and the glow Globes she didn't care that Holtzman took the credit and the money from her inventions because to her these things were her contribution to the Jihad effort you could tell too had no idea how some of the things he'd slapped his name onto worked in the first place because he nearly caused a nuclear explosion due to his ignorance with regards to how a Shield works like we mentioned earlier Holzman Shields are basically force fields that only allow objects below a certain velocity to enter their Spectrum

But ultimately they're nothing more than a blanket of energy if this energy is struck with a lase gun the resulting chain reaction between the molecules from the shield and the molecules from the laser would cause instant nuclear fision resulting in an atomic blast Norma had to blow up an asteroid to Prove it to him but instead of making him more introspective it made Holtzman vindictive he pushed Norma out of his facilities and tried to steal her life's work but in the end his hub and cruelty caught up with him hzman had a habit of using

slaves in his experiments something Norma vehemently opposed during her time with him so it's only fitting that one of those slaves ended up blowing Tio's shield into a mushroom cloud with a l gun the reason Tio drove Norma away from portran and into the hands of the Titan Xerxes was simple he realized the potential of her fold space equations if she succeeded Norma would revolutionize space travel forever and become far richer than any person before or after her Xerxes didn't really care about all this or even know about it when he proceeded to torture her

in space now normally torturing a resident of rosac is a dumb idea because in a way their entire lives are torturous but Norma had something most people on her Planet wouldn't and that was the psionic power granting artifact called the Seuss Stone this Stone when attuned with the pain and heightened emotions elicited by the torture unlocked Norma's latent sorceress genes and allowed her to kill her tormentors with her new found abilities Norma unlocked her other memory and gained complete control over her physiology becoming one of the first Reverend mothers of the benages she used The

forms of the women from her prean to transform her own body and this is one place where we must acknowledge the Dune encyclopedia for a moment over there the benages evolved from a group of mystical women from Earth and the Benes name evolved over Millennia to become what it is today it felt more like natural progression when compared to the DNA altering planetary B story of the sorceresses of rosac but now that we've got that out of the way let us get back To the story of Norma by unlocking her precient abilities Norma came to

possess a deep understanding of how the Holtzman effect affected the fabric of SpaceTime and could finally create a device to harness its true potential in the Dune encyclopedia we were given a small hint about the Holtzman effect's ability to breach the space-time Continuum and manipulate it with an entry point source node and exit the void upon reaching their destination this concept is Expanded upon by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson who call it fold space a pocket Dimension that any object can enter if they're vibrating at a certain frequency of the Holtzman effect Norma foresaw

with her precient eye that the planet Kar would become the first world to house her new technology so she traveled there and summoned her mother and stepdad SL future husband to help her that's right folks Dune did dwarf discrimination weird family incest Angles way before HBO did but at least in this case there was no direct blood relation in involed at Kar Norma started her great work of turning the planet's icy surface into a field of docking and repair Bays for her newly conceived highliners which would house the space folding Holzman engines these engines harnessing

the power of the Holzman effect would make a highliner enter the fold space Dimension at Point a and emerge at point B with navigation being Handled by an external entity Norma had already created a prototype of this class of Starship back on patrin between 177 and 174 BG but she couldn't exactly use it like she couldn't properly use the rest of her highliner Fleet for one simple reason she couldn't chart a safe course through space just yet the basic scientific concepts of the Holtzman effect seem to be consistent across the Dune encyclopedia and the extended

daverse the main difference is the Amount of time it takes for Norma to figure out that spice is the answer in the former she has the help of a Benes sister who allows her to experience a spice trance before completing her work but in the latter spice was discovered only some three decades beyond space folding becoming viable one of Norma's husband's Associates the tulaa tuck kir had visited The Fringe world araus and discovered the geriatric spice malanche through his dealings with the native Freman in Children of Dune we're told that the imperial chemist Yan shop

asoko first noticed the geriatric properties of spice during the reign of Shaka the wise but considering the hot mess that dune's timeline is that statement can be considered retcon or just a recollection of a rediscovery of spice Brank Herbert's original series did make it seem like mange was a relatively recent discovery for humans despite the spacing Guild using it for 10 Millennia there's Even a moment in the first novel where Paul realizes that all he has to do to bring the guild under control is monopolize spice because his prean Visions had told him that spice

was their key to power but once again we're getting ahead of ourselves initially spice was sold to TK as a life extending drug which quickly found popularity within the high rent district of the League of nobles Tuk created ven key Enterprises alongside Aurelius to profit Off of spice sales and for a while business was booming but eventually his sins caught up with him as well and Tuk was forced to escape patrin around the same time that senva was banished his Escape was far less forgiving because he took Norma's prototype highliner and crash Landed It On

A racus of all places along with a bunch of people that he'd once enslaved and sold took keair spent the rest of his life as a prisoner of the free men of araus but his efforts in Discovering the spice for the known universe did not go in vain over time Norma came to realize the precient powers hidden within the spice for the first few years out of the first century that space folding was available to humans she used thinking machines to perform navigational computations but she wasn't happy with the results one out of every 10

highliners would go missing and once the butlerian jihadis found out that the very thing they were Trying to destroy was now carrying them to their targets they threatened to annihilate the fleet even if men to losing to omnus normal was forced to navigate without machines which led to disastrous consequences like entire Crews being immolated by a star they accidentally dropped inside of her husband aelius had promised her highliners to the jihadis following negotiations with Serena Butler herself but Norma was horrified by the fact that 1 fifth of the fleet that went out during the Great

Purge returned home safely she invested more time and resources into coming up with an alternative computational apparatus for obvious reasons and it wasn't easy we'll tell you that much she struggled with finding the answer with every passing year and her intake of mange became more insistent every passing year until one day gripped in a spice trance she came to a realization Norma was allergic to Spice but regardless of that she decided to have a chamber built that she could then flood with spice gas she placed herself within that chamber and realized her full potential as

the universe's first Guild Navigator Norma's combined telekinetic and precient abilities allowed her to function as a bman engine herself though that fact was only revealed to a select few individuals throughout history once Norma cracked the code on safe space travel fold space Technology became the most valuable technology in the universe and it was initially monopolized by veny Enterprises this along with their exclusive spice Mining rights made them the most powerful commercial organization in the universe for a few decades life as it was known was controlled by Aurelius vport and Norma sva's descendants but instantaneous is

space travel wasn't made readily available to the entire Imperium in Response to this house Corino broke its contract with venki and allowed other companies to mine spice as well as create Holzman engines of their own through the actions of a pompous Savant an ambitious Merchant and a hidden genius the very concept of Transportation had been rebuilt on a molecular level so naturally preserving it became the order of the day and through that preservation emerged the spacing Guild the Galactic Civil War War And the establishment of the spacing Guild despite being relatively pacifistic during the entire

conflict venki Enterprises became the foremost organization tied to the butlerian Jihad thanks to their fold space technology once Norma became a guild Navigator her son Adrien formally Incorporated the fold space Shipping Company through which he aimed to monopolize all transportation in space his ambition carried over to his grandson Joseph who Took Veni to its highest of highs and then plunged it to its lowest of lows upon taking charge of veny Enterprises Joseph renamed it vport Holdings and proceeded to engage in a game of political sabotage and deception he couldn't do anything to stop the emperor

from handing out Holtzman engines to other companies so he messed with their navigation instead and deliberately hid the secret of Norma's existence from the universe he also sabotaged many of his Enemy spice Harvesters all in the name of maximizing his family's profits then Port holding's profits and services became so diverse that Joseph had to create create a new company called combined mercantilesolutions for which he declared all out war on Jo J vport and Manford Toronto leader of the bans engaged in a conflict that ultimately required Imperial intervention to resolve the butlerian Spurred on by religious

fervor bombed ven port's main base on kolhar with atomics forcing them to move Norma's Junction elsewhere Joseph in return hired assassins to kill their leader as well as the reigning Emperor Salvador Corino who had decided toci side with the extremists though the latter plan succeeded the former failed and Joseph was persecuted by both the butan and the Imperial house as a result of his actions in the end it was his great Grandmother who saved his life and in doing so changed the course of human history if you guys didn't notice we said that Joseph vport

deliberately hid Norma's existence from the universe when we say that we don't mean her physical existence because she makes many public appearances even after undergoing her transformation we mean her status as a guild Navigator because though Joseph had lost his Monopoly on Holzman engines and space mining he'd managed to Preserve the the most important secret that linked the two of them by keeping his Navigators a secret Joseph made sure that no one but vport Navigators could ensure the safety of those they were transporting and Norma used this to her advantage to bring about a new

age of humanity after Joseph's assassination of Emperor Salvador Salvador's brother rodk took the Golden Lion Throne rodk was a known detractor of the butlerian movement so Joseph had hoped to find an Ally in him but when rodri got involved he was betrayed by his own family member albeit with good reason the war between the butlerian and vport was tearing apart the Newfound peace and unity at the scams it was the emperor's job to put down the rebels and reinforce his authority but he couldn't do that when one side could literally vanish Into Thin space so

rodri formed a clandestine alliance with Norma senva to bring the hostilities to an end and bind up the Wounds of the Jihad once and for all by this time Norma had undergone an intense second transformation that ended up making her appear as inhuman as pH physically possible she had webbed hands and feet her head was larger than her body and she would swim in the spice gas that flooded her clear chamber but she no longer had those human desires that made her turn herself into a beautiful woman in the first place instead all Norma wanted

was to create a new world Order which preserved her existence her work and the legacy of her loved ones so when Joseph and Manfred were having their Last Stand Battle Norma transported Imperial Starships to their location and rodri dealt with the perpetrators of Civil War he agreed to break up vport Holdings strangle on universal trade and commerce by keeping only one of its subsidiaries alive f space Shipping Company rodri agreed to giving FSC exclusive rights to space Travel and Navigator Creation in exchange for turning spice into an imperial resource Norma agreed because she already had

a contingency plan for its procurement set in place when Corino Battleship showed up in the skies above Denali Joseph vport figured his ancestor had betrayed him but even that was by Design before he could die Norma teleported to his location and took him into her spice chamber yes she'd agreed to let the emperor handle the ballaran And the ven holders however he deemed fit but she'd also convinced him to spare the lives of all of her Navigators and keep the Guild's home planet as well as the economic center of tupile a secret once Joseph became

a navigator he would become a part of this agreement and thus would be saved the Galactic Civil War ended with the consolidation of Corino power throughout the Imperium and the formal integration of the spacing Guild within its ranks the Decades that followed the Jihad are described differently in the Dune encyclopedia and the extended Universe in the former Humanity entered a Dark Age after the fall of the thinking machines because they no longer had the means to travel or trade on an Interstellar level it was only when the spacing Guild sent a representative to the corinos

from their home base at tupile that things became somewhat normal and the Imperium surpassed its Former glory in the latter trade and travel were not affected so severely that it Dark Age ensued because conventional space flight was still available to us and was used by several groups instead of being a closely guarded secret bold space technology had helped Humanity win the Jihad against omnus and was now going to become a unifying force throughout the Imperium in the years that followed the Jihad house Corino maintained a rather Delicate balance of power in its new Empire using

only military strength as an Arbiter the league of nobles was replaced by the lrod council as the Apex governing body of the Imperium but nothing would be possible possible without proper trade and travel apparatus those would emerge with the breaking up of vport Holdings in the form of Chom and the spacing gift every house of note was given shares in Chom which became the sole regulator of Interstellar trade Chom worked closely with the spacing Guild to transport trade goods all across the Imperium in exchange for a silent cut of the action this political tripod is

what ended up making the Imperium one of the most stable empires in human history and the guild was its bonding Factor without the spacing Guild's guarantee of safe Interstellar travel with access to All Peoples the universe would have exploded into another conflict worse than the Galactic Civil War by hiding strategic resources like tupile and strategic information like the process of birthing a navigator The Guild made itself indispensable and practically invulnerable to Royal interference Kar might have been decimated by the butlerian but by this time Norma had the resources to create a junction Planet pretty much

anywhere she reestablished her base of operations and created the only Navigator School in the known Universe Junction became the heart of all Guild operations for the next 15 Millennia it was where Navigators went to learn their craft and also where they were laid to rest before Humanity would be at the mercy of thinking machines and would spend days months and sometimes years traveling to their Galactic destinations the Advent of instantaneous space travel was so revolutionary that the imperial calendar is dated from the day it was incorporated and that's Justified if you manag to come up

with a way to transport goods and folks across the Universe in a couple of days at best will rename our calendar based on your discoveries because that's how fundamentally life altering such a discovery becomes we dream of the days when Humanity will spread to the stars and it's very likely that when that day arrives every world religion will be forced to revise its tenants to account for it for residents of the duners that Day arrived on the first day of the first year after Guild incorporation because it started a new era for civilization itself gone

were the days when people would be forced to travel between two planets under the aices of an organization that they weren't sure would even be recognized at their destination with the centralization of trade travel and governance Human Society reached the Pinnacle of a uniform yet free existence under the Corino Empire yes things flowed through only a certain set of organizations but humans were free to trade in whatever they considered to be a resource and the spacing Guild ensured that a war like the old days would never break out 10,000 years of interstellar monopolization broke BR

en by two men from the moment she was conceived on rossac to the moment she appeared on Denali Norma senva had managed to change the complexion of humanity her efforts Brought about a tangible peace and outlawed Warfare in human society and for 10,000 years the spacing Guild was the enforcer of the great convention the convention was the single greatest legally binding document that Humanity ever produced even greater than the orange Catholic Bible because the latter's word could be ignored but doing so to the former would result in death or wor this is because if any

house violated the tenants of the convention They'd lose their shipping privileges to begin with and effectively be banished from the lands Ro the entire point of the convention is to prevent all conventional forms of warfare among humans including Atomic Warfare which earned any house that engaged in it a one-way ticket to tupile even the ever greedy and sneaky Harkins wouldn't dare to violate the guild piece in the first due novel Duke Le atres shuts down his son's curiosity with regards to these Alien-like humans while pointing out that an atres ship could be transported alongside a

Harkin and ship and neither of them would violate the laws of the convention at the risk of losing shipping privileges lato goes so far as to discourage Paul from seeking out a guildsman because he doesn't want to do anything that will revoke his shipping rights this itself tells you all you need to know about the Guild's power centuries after its creation the spacing Guild's Origins and inner workings are shrouded in complete secrecy in the main Dune books most people know that their Navigators do not appear human but they don't know why even the rank and

file of The benages Sisterhood are unaware of their spice dependency as evidenced by Jessica being shocked by Paul's realization of the same our leading theory on why this information was lost to most humans except the Imperial house and the higher ups of the guild is Simply the passage of time it's one of house Carino's most crucial assets in maintaining Universal Peace So hiding their usage of the spice mange becomes an issue of State security not Commerce spice was exposed to the known universe well before a space folding was perfected when omnus unleashed the omnus scourge

upon Humanity TCA senva Norma's younger sister offered up spice as a medicine to treat it most of mankind was only aware of spice's health benefits And lifespan protraction abilities which was enough to make it the most in demand commodity in the universe but its prean powers were kept Top Secret by The Guild and The benages Sisterhood both of whom used it for their own purposes this is why we particularly dislike the video book scenes from Vil new's first dune movie because it's basically tells us that the guild is dependent on spice by making oracus an

imperial domain house Corino ensured that spice flowed the way They wanted it to but even then the spacing Guild had its own arrangements for acquiring mange Guild agents had cut deals with the fman to give them protection from weather satellites and Imperial Raiders that weren't assigned to govern oracus in exchange the fman would give them as much spice as they required and the guild required a lot of spice speaking of the guild let us briefly touch upon on the two broad wings of employees that they hired the First obviously were The Navigators who made the

entire operation possible there were several stages of Navigators with early stage Navigators being able to blend with human society by using disguises the further one went in their Navigator training the more inhuman their appearance became until they reached stage three and became a full-fledged steersman a steersman is the highest title a guild Navigator can achieve and it's also the title most People that join the guild Aspire towards but the space Guild also provided banking services and had an entire economic and administrative Wing that engaged with issues like Commerce diplomacy and Communications on a daily basis

The Navigators were restricted to their glass boxes because of the inherent requirements of space folding Guild Navigators can only perform successful space folding by immersing themselves in spice gas and forcing an Evolution beyond the confines of humanity and because spice is highly addictive exiting this environment could lead to instant death if even a slight percentage of the gas was diluted a Navigator's preent Powers would become dull and all trade and transportation within the Imperium would grind to a halt this is why the spacing Guild spice smuggling is mostly given a blind eye because without the

spice people couldn't get from point A to point B for Centuries and to oversee all of this including things like contract negotiations and such The Guild created a wing of Administrators to interact with the Imperium speaking of centuries thanks to all these factors the Millennia that followed the creation of the Guild was also called the age of the Guild's peace for 10,000 years the spacing Guild kept the Imperium mostly free of conflict and provided Sanctuary to those houses that lost Wars of Assassins or were banished for violating Conley whenever they did involve themselves in a

dispute they did so to protect their own interests especially with regards to the spice over time space travel became so expensive that it would take 1.4 million Solaris for a round trip from kaitan to kaladan or what was essentially a for ity but the Guild's power never waned so long as spice remained available to perhaps that's the reason that the unusually Neutral spacing Guild took a rare side when the TXU conquered the planet I and again when Paul atres came to power shortly before the araus controversy Emperor shadam Corino hatched a plot to rid himself

of his dependency on the spacing Guild through a discret alliance with the clay laxu he funded project Amal whose goal was to create a synthetic spice that could replace actual Milan if shadam had control of the only geriatric substance in the World the guild would be forced to do his bidding and that would finally make house Corino the Undisputed rulers of the Imperium for a while the plan proceeded as it was laid out the TXU conquered I renamed it Zoda and started developing prototypes of their synthetic spice the ixi and brotherly Duo of CER and

deur pillu worked together to get the T Lau off their home world but they didn't realize their true goal deur who was a navigator ended up becoming the First first test subject of shadam synthetic spice and the results were disastrous he ended up space folding to an Undiscovered edge of the universe and the synthetic spice triggered a reaction in his body that ended up killing him the failure of project Amal coupled with the Guild's involvement in retaking I for house verus put an end to all of saddam's Ambitions for Independence and made him complicit in

all their future conspiracies The Guild was one of the Main facilitators of Emperor shadam corino's conspiracy against House of trates and because they were wary of the future that Paul presented to them as users of the spice mange they had what we call a mathematical form of prean through centuries of habit and evolution Guild Navigators had come to rely on their prean for charting a course through fold space not to predict future events that concerned all of humanity The Guild could tell Paul was an Extremely powerful precient being but they couldn't tell whether he was

Friend or Foe for those with the power of precient are hidden from another Oracle searching eyes the spacing Guild's Powers were turned towards guidance not deciphering the meaning of future events so when they saw Paul as a threat to their Authority they did all that they could to eliminate him the first vnu movie tells us that the baron spent nearly 60 years worth of income Generated from the spice trade to transport all of his ships to araus for the Desert War his mobilization was a blatant violation of Conley because the baron involved the emperor himself

shadam was supposed to be a neutral mediator in the war between the atres and the Harkin in according to the tenants of the great convention but because he lent his Sardar forces to the Baron he became complicit in the araus affair and was thus open to scrutiny by The Guild the lrod and all other stakeholders in Galactic governance the spacing Guild probably didn't care about any of these Petty political struggles so long as their most vital resource was preserved it was when the spice was threatened that they showed their true colors in the Dune movie

The Great houses arrive on oracus as a result of The Baron's manipulations he tells them that shadam violated Conley and they show up to destroy him not Paul but they Don't accept Paul's ascendency either which prompts him to threaten the obliteration of all spice Fields using the atres atomics this is very different from what happens in the books because there Paul first takes control of oracus and then fights the emperor's Representatives the spacing Guild lowers its cost of travel one time only transporting every great House's Battleship to aras's orbit along with the Imperial Guard but

they quickly back Down when Paul Reveals His plans for the Spice if the guild doesn't obey him he will Poison every spice field on araus and destroy the all-important resource of the universe he knew that the guild would agree to his demands because of their spice dependency and once that happened space flight would be under his control Paul monopolized the spice and this allowed him to control much of the flow of traffic and commerce through the Imperium during his time as Emperor so The spacing Guild retaliated by doing the two things that it could do

ating rebellion and abetting assassination a few years after Paul's Ascension house thorald rose up in rebellion and created a resistance force that had the unspoken backing of the spacing Guild they were gathering a fleet to obliterate Paul's home planet When muad de learned of their plot through prean he immediately made his way to the Navigator baric who had been an architect of this scheme Through a combination of his control of spice and his immense power as the quizat hok Paul deciphered the scheme down to its minute details and forced baric to strand his co-conspirators in

deep space with no long-term rations to sustain their lives he then sterilized the thorald home world to remind the universe that if you were not an ally of muad you were his enemy though the spacing Guild was rewarded with a generous cache of mange the Monopoly Remained in place which ultimately forced them to make another attempt on Paul's life only this time in the most roundabout fashion possible in Dune Messiah we learned that Mother Superior gas Helen moam had brought together a group of people to kill Paul and end his tyranny this group includes Paul's

wife iron the TXU face danc sail Paul's high priest corba and the spacing Guild Navigator edric whose presence is crucial to the plot as precient beings Have a difficult time spotting one another within the Timescape edric became The Conspirator Shield against Paul's pressian he was the one transporting most of his allies to and from oracus and once it was finished he presented Paul with the TXU goola of Duncan Idaho called hate the plan was to use hate to force Paul to reflect on the Empire he had built which they hoped would lead to him abdicating

the the throne if that failed hate had been Implanted with a set of instructions which included killing Paul when certain conditions were met if that failed as well the TXU hop to use love to weaken the emperor because if hate recovered his Duncan memories they could bring back anyone from Paul's past and make it as though they'd never left him provided they recovered fresh genetic material ofs plans within plans within plans this is a staple feature of the Dune franchise and one that the guild needed To involve itself with if it wanted to survive spice

rationing was proving disastrous to their profits and control over the Imperium so the sooner they got rid of Paul the better it was going to be for them unfortunately all they did by conspiring against him was get themselves marginalized because it resulted in the fruition of the very fate they were trying to avoid when Paul discovered the conspiracy he chose not to give into it and killed the two Messengers who brought him its message because he'd been blinded Paul went into the desert but told his sister and Regent Aaliyah that no harm should come to

the rest of the conspirators Leah of course didn't listen to her brother and had gas corba edric and every other conspirator that tried to kill her brother execute the spacing Guild's bid to regain autonomy truly died when Paul's son ascended to the throne as his Heir because where the father refused to Walk a dreaded path the son dedicated himself to it heart and soul for all his powers and abilities muad was not all powerful because he rejected embracing his terrible purpose Paul's prean had shown him a path forward for Humanity which necessitated terrible oppression as

a means for evolution he could not brutalize his people any more than he already had so he chose trusting in the Guild's peace as opposed to building his own but his son lato saw that this Wasn't an optional path to Evolution and survival it was the only way even before Paul became emperor the freman had started the process of terraforming oracus in anticipation of their green Paradise the tumult of Paul's rain put a pause on these efforts but when loo took the throne he resumed them with utmost ferocity within a few years oracus was no

longer a desert but a lush green Paradise utterly devoid of sandworms and sand trout with the exception of the Single God Emperor through prience lato had come to understand that in order to keep Humanity on his golden path he needed to oppress it on a molecular level to do that he needed to eliminate Spice from the economy so he terraformed oracus and became the sole producer of spice as a human sandworm hybrid lato hoarded spice and gave it out to groups like The Sisterhood in the spacing Guild in in such negligible amounts that they might

as well have not received it space Travel was brought to complete Halt and every human was forced to live in uniform Villages and towns on their own planets for 35 centuries after dominating Imperial politics for 10 Millennia the spacing Guild lost all of its power to the atres and ended up becoming subservient to them throughout the Reigns of Paul and the god Emperor this was especially true in the latter's case who overturned Galactic governance with the establishment of his Fisher Army L's fish speaking women warriors were Fighters as well as bureaucrats and not a single

person in the Imperium was allowed to move a muscle without their Authority in time this caused Humanity's Freedom instinct to atrophy and fester within their unconscious minds as their conscious lives were spent in peace and Tranquility L's golden path was focused on achieving two major objectives the first was the creation of an undying spirit for exploration and escape from Persecution which he hoped would cause such an eruption of humanity across the cosmos that no one power would ever be able to rule over them again the second was the eradication of human dependency on prean which

he ironically enough wanted to obtain through spice leato minimized The Guild and the Benes Sisterhood during his reign as God Emperor because both of those organizations worshiped at the altar of spice The Guild used it in their Navigational computations and the sisters used it to look into the past as well as the future so long as such beings existed Humanity would never be free from the clutches of prean whose Horrors lato was all too intimately familiar with so he took control of the Benes breeding program and allowed the ixian Confederacy to violate the tenants of

the butlerian Jihad in secret it took many centuries for L's precient hope to finally come to fruition but towards the End of his 3,000 plus years of existence it finally happened and when it did it turned the spacing Guild's entire existence into a full circle moment the eventual yet inevitable demise of the spacing Guild the death of the god Emperor occurred in the year 13,725 AG Lo had been ruling for Millennia at this point and consequently he had a lot of time to chart out his golden path in doing so he realized that Humanity's reunion

with machine Technology was inevitable because machines would end up being their salvation from prean lato was maintaining his breeding program as a means to Foster genes that prience was blind to but he knew that technology would beat him to it and it did within his own lifetime the god Emperor had a silent agreement with the iians through which he permitted them to create thinking machines once again leato himself used one of these machines to Record his thoughts and author the stolen journals he also used ixie and weather devices to maintain a small patch of desert

on terraformed oracus Just for himself which goes to show you just how much foresight he had into the future leato knew that technology would only become a crutch if humans let it become one and he had hoped against hope that a day would come when it would end up taking his life lato had conditioned his prean in such a way that it never Showed him the moment of his death only events that threatened the golden path and in doing this he ensured that never again would humans become fod for thinking machines the way they were

before the butlerian Jihad so he wasn't bothered by the fact that iians had designed entire Chambers and ships that could hide whatever was within it from his precient eye these were called No Chambers and no ships and these technological advances proved crucial to The unraveling of the god Emperor's tyranny and the future of humanity going forward because through the no ships the ixian revolutionized space travel once again they developed thinking machines that were devoid of sentients but possessed the computational capacity of a guild Navigator thus making them a viable alternative for folding space these navigation

machines broke the spacing Guild's Monopoly over space travel for the first time in 14 Millennia and once that happened things never went back to being the same for them it wasn't like the spacing Guild was wiped out of existence navigational no ships were mostly taken by humans who fled the old Imperium during the scattering never to return many of the residents of the old Imperium who remained within its boundaries still used the guild services to Traverse the stars but with the fold space Monopoly broken and spice Supply at an all-time Low the spacing Guild entered

an inevitable period of decline the god Emperor's death led to the creation of a new race of sandworms which were more intelligent and thus more dangerous spice harvesting became even more life-threatening than it already was making navigation machines all the more lucrative to top it off the Benny tayac managed to find a way to synthesize spice safely but that secret was lost thanks to their war with the honored Mrees the spacing Guild was forced to rely on The benages Sisterhood for its supply of pure Spice in the final books of the Dune series because it

was the witches who now controlled the worms from this point on everything should be taken with a hefty Fistful of salt because it comes from the extended universe but the combination of navigational machines and the honored mre's great enemy brought an end to the spacing Guild as we knew it the guild Navigator's Reliance on spice caused a rift between the guild Navigators and administrators with the latter wanting to restore their previous political and economic Glory administrators were not afraid to suggest that perhaps navigation should be left to computers and this was eventually exploited during kazac

the typhoon struggle at the end of the universe after the fall of lato II the telaku decided to Stage a universal takeover by replacing all important Officials in the old Imperium with face dancers though they couldn't replace Guild Navigators given their biological mutations they did replace every single administrator in the guild with face dancers to give them complete bureaucratic control except it turns out that these face dancers were under the command of another face dancer who worked for the thinking machine omnus and the reason it wanted the guild to convert to thinking machines was so

that Omnus could take control of its space folding technology one of the final named steersmen of the spacing Guild another Navigator called edric watched helplessly as his fellow Navigators were killed and replaced by machines and in the end his personal quest for regaining the spice flow turned out to be for nothing after he lost all hope of restoring The Guild to its Glory from the days of the Corino Empire edric visited Junction where he communed with A clear pla chamber flooded with nothing but mange gas turns out this gas was none other than Norma senva

who had transcended her physical form and become the mythical Oracle of time yes we know it's the most deflating generic sci-fi transformation that Brian and Kevin could have given her but it's what we've got so we got to deal with Norma told edric that his concern over spice was trivial in the face of kazac and she turned her entire family of Navigators Into Humanity's first line of defense the spacing Guild took out the initial onslaught of omnia's new machines as she confronted omnus itself within the cathedral complex on synchrony as her family laid waste to

the machines Norma performed the Final Act of her life and transported the machine ruler to an alternate universe TR in there with him to keep his threat contained for eternity with that the age of the Imperium and the spacing Guild came to An end and Humanity entered a new era of human machine codependency with Duncan Idaho emerging as the ultimate quizat hok his merger with arasmus marked the beginning of an age where all organic and inorganic things lived in Harmony and the need for a spacing Guild was rendered moot we have just folded space from

marvelous verdict though it's been sidelined in the eons preceding it the guild left an indelible mark on human History with its physics altering discoveries and applications of the Holtzman effect our only regret in making this video is the fact that we don't have any new footage of these guys to show you because the vnu daverse hasn't grown a set large enough to portray them but with the Dune Messiah adaptation on its way we can expect that to change pretty soon until then we hope you enjoyed this detailed account of the spacing Guild's 15 ,000 year
