The Guild and House Ix

The Guild

The Guild are the only race who have perfected spice's ability to fold time and space. Their Navigators soak themselves in mélange gas and use their ability for interstellar travel.

NIAB Tank

The Guild's primary vehicle is a plodding tank with only average armor protection. Rather than arming this chassis with a cannon, the Guild have incorporated a number of electrical ports along the length of the NIAB tank. This allows it to fire quickly at lots of surrounding units, provided that they are a short distance away from the tank. The Navigator who drives the tank can use his abilities to teleport the tank a short distance. However, the tank's power needs to be recharged after each warping maneuver.

Maker

The infantry of the Guild include "Makers," second stage Navigators who are armed with a powerful hand-held weapon. Though they pack a big punch, the Makers have exceptionally poor maneuverability - they change directions slowly and cannot take advantage of infantry rock or trenches. However, they don't seem to attract Sandworms.

House Ix

Ix are like the Russians of the 1990s (and today). They've got arms. They've got technology. There's a big sale and EVERYTHING MUST GO! As the premier arms dealers of Arrakis, their units are a force to be reckoned with.

Projector

Remember the Holo-Duke from Duke 3D? The Projector is kinda like that, or a StarCraft Templar's Hallucination. Using a Projector, you can create an exact replica of any unit on the battlefield, to give opponents the impression that your army is larger than it really is. The projection dissipates when the fake unit is fired on, when an enemy unit moves in close enough to see that it's fake, or when the real unit is destroyed.

Infiltrator

The Infiltrator is a stealthy sapper type unit that can move around undetected and be deployed as a bomb. Yes, it's camouflaged when stationary or moving. The blast from its explosion will severely damage or destroy most units and also reveal nearby camouflaged units.
