THE SPACING GUILD (Masters of Interstellar Travel in DUNE) EXPLAINED
16,235Hey guys what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As requested, today we’ll be exploring The Spacing Guild featured in Frank Herberts expansive Dune universe.
The Spacing Guild, also called the Guild of Navigators, or more simply the Guild - and secretly known among its members as Corpus Luminis Praenuntiantis ("the Union of the Foreseeing Eye"), was an organization that held exclusive rights to faster-than-light space travel.
The Guild was essentially an interstellar shipping and trade conglomerate during the years of the Corrino and Atreides Empire. They were one leg of the political tripod maintaining the Great Convention - a historic treaty brokered between the Great Houses, the Spacing Guild, and the Imperium shortly after the destruction of thinking machines.
The guilds spice-infused navigators steer their massive Holtzman-drive-powered heighliner crafts through folded space. The spice melange gave their helmsmen prescient abilities to see the future of all possible outcomes, enabling them to choose safe routes for their ships.
With the destruction of all thinking machines in the Butlerian Jihad, The Spacing Guild was able to develop a unique monopoly in interstellar travel.
