Mercantile Guild

Lore

The merchant power. Ordos table in yellow — Raider, Palace Siege Tanks — but no Deviator and no Ornithopter: the Heavy Factory builds the Harkonnen Devastator AND the Atreides Sonic Tank. They sell, they buy, they win.

The Guild does not bleed for honour: it buys Ordos contracts — Raider, Palace Siege Tanks — then the Harkonnen Devastator and the Atreides Sonic Tank. No Deviator, no wings. All in gold.
