	CHOAM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Dune universe CHOAM is the current leader in technological research and development, but is careful not to advance in the proscribed fields of artificial intelligence.
		CHOAM is believed by some to be at least loosely based on the Dutch East India Company.
		CHOAM was the key to wealth, each noble house dipping from the company coffers whatever it could under the power of the directorships.

		CHOAM, which is an acronym for Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles, is the universal development corporation controlled by the Emperor and the Great Houses of the Landsraad.
		CHOAM in turn sees that each House's goods are distributed and returns the profits generated by the sale (with a small fee deducted, of course).
		CHOAM Directors & CHOAM Policy --------------------------------------------- 3.1 Duties The three members of the CHOAM Board are responsible for conducting shareholder meetings, assigning Company Contracts, performing audits on Contracts, and ensuring the solaris keep flowing into CHOAM coffers.

	BBC NEWS \| World \| Asia-Pacific \| Cambodia's deadly scrap
		The northern Cambodian village of Choam Ksant could almost serve as an advert for the charms of the simple, rural life.
		Local volunteers set up a class on a shady street in Choam Ksant, and a couple of dozen children gathered in front of the banner showing the various deadly devices they might find as they play.
		Choam Ksant has its charms, but its inhabitants are poor, and in the dry season they can not make any money from planting rice.

		Choam moved around a little bit but didn’t drop any more beaks full of wisdom.
		So this must be the courtyard, eh Choam?” In front of him was a large open space he guessed was about a thousand feet square.
		Despite his total focus on running away from the rabid frog/dog/cat woman, he noticed that no one in the square was paying the slightest attention to him - or her - or the screaming.

	House Rastanyev, of Garrashu VI
		The mostly neutral stance of the House, with respect to the major political issues in the Imperium, and the adroit manipulation of what manoevering was possible within CHOAM allowed the House to gain more contracts, with the years, and hence made Rastanyev a fairly wealthy and successful House, among the others of the Landsraad.
		House Rastanyev's first big deal is struck, as it manages to secure the CHOAM contract for planet Ecaz for a 6 year term.
		CHOAM contract for Ecaz renewed after a successful bid for 6 more years.

	Planetside - Dune - Factions - CHOAM
		A conglomeration of the great Merchantile Houses of the Imperium, CHOAM is a subtle and often overlooked player in the ebb and flow of power in the Million Worlds.
		CHOAM like most economic entities primarily desires stability and the continuation of the status quo, as this ensures their continued dominance in their chosen realm.
		To this point the excesses of the CHOAM Inspection fleet has been overlooked primarily because of the economic might of the houses CHOAM represents, and the fact that they have backed down during their minor conflicts over the years with the Great Houses.

		Ernsdorf snaps at one of the aides, who was trying to set down the documents to quickly, ordering him and the others to set out his effects in a precise fashion.
		Amalia Filomena briskly nods to the appointed CHOAM Directors before depositing herself regally at her appointed spot.

	Ray Zepp in Preah Vihear Province
		For one thing, he almost never mentions Choam Khsant village, but rather considers Rolum Thmar to be the principal landmark in the region, so he gives all directions from Rolum Thmar.
		The people we talked to in Choam Khsant knew about it, but had never been there and said that it was very difficult, if not impossible to reach.
		Highway 69 goes south from Choam Khsant for about a kilometer before turning abruptly east, and so it is highly possible that along this east-west stretch, it follows the roadbed of the ancient Angkorian road.

		Moreover, he is the only one not traveling on a dirt bike and only because of him we recognize how difficult this passage is. So I feel sorry that it is here where he falls in front of everybody.
		This is shortly before we leave Choam Khsant.
		The road from Choam Khsant to Preah Vihear is in excellent condition.

	Buy stock in CHOAM! (The Heartland) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		CHOAM, the corporation which serves as a government for Kallidan, will tomorrow be opening two new, thoroughly modern, top of the line, state of the art, massive port facilities with which to establish trade routes into the SE and along the West Coast of Prudentia.
		The primary purpose of these facilities is to transport Transoxianian oil, and as you all know, Transoxiana is the leading exporter of crude oil in the Heartland, so the ports shall never lack for business.
		Stock in CHOAM and the price of gold have both been increasing steadily, and I once again am recommending that you all buy in now, on the eve of the first All-Alcedonian Leadership Conference, Kallidan's new trading partnership with The Iron Gauntlet, and our blossoming alliance with Mithril.

		Shelling in Choam Khsan district forced the electoral team and Civilian Police (CivPol) to evacuate on November 6.
		The temple site is easily accessible by paved highway from Thailand, but no foreigners (aside from the Vietnamese) have made the trek from the Cambodian side of the border since the early 1970s.
		Hundreds of Cambodians have lost their lives on this highly-contested mountain during the past two decades of civil war, either in combat or while attempting to flee to Thailand.

	Cambodia Tales - January 2006 - Revisiting Choam Khsan
		The area surrounding what is little more than a large village, close to the Thai border, is awash with ruined Angkorean temples and as soon as we got there I changed my plan of a cross-country moto-trip to Stung Treng, in favour of two nights in this sleepy backwater.
		However, without the aid of my historical data that I'd left at home in England, our temple exploration the next day was a bit hit and miss, though we did locate five temple sites, trekked through a lot of forest and as usual, I enjoyed my time in the company of my pal Sokhom.
		Some of the locals are aware of one or two temples, but with potentially twenty separate sites nearby, their lack of knowledge can be very frustrating.

		It is widely believed that these large sums spent into CHOAM coffers are a prelude to grease the wheels for a formal deal between CHOAM and the Mutelli.
		It is uncertain how Houses IX and Richese, who currently supply CHOAM with military hardware and who have been themselves locked in bitter economic competition for some time, will react to the emergence of a new technocratic force in the Landsraad.
		While exact figure are not known, it is estimated by some observers that CHOAM Directors will each net more than 500 billion solaris from this month’s spending spree.

	House Moritani of DuneIII
		Spacing Guild and CHOAM combine with the Lion Throne to form the societal basis for the next ten thousand years.
		House Moritani is instrumental in the formation of the Spacing Guild, by selling off most of its spaceship research and development to the Guild and being allowed to continue to manufacture parts for the Guild Heighliners and developments in personal frigates.
		House Moritani also helps in the formation of CHOAM, and Bernabo III was the architect behind the idea for CHOAM Directorships, with the Imperium duly represented, and thus endeared the Moritani to the Imperium further as well as gained them one of the first Directorships.

	Preah Vihear - www.ezboard.com
		We decided to continue straight on to Choam Khsant, but you will see from our return route that it is in fact possible to continue straight from T’beang Meanchey to the base of the mountain, bypassing Choam Khsant, and that would probably be the preferable route.
		On the other hand there were lots of fresh tracks on the path, so clearly it gets fairly well used, and we took the decision that we felt comfortable to use this route as long as we followed previous tracks exactly.
		If doing the Tbeang Meanchey to Choam Khsant leg by pickup, there seem to be plenty going that way, perhaps 5-6 per day, but again, you’ll have more luck in the afternoon.

		A servant in CHOAM livery ushers the Imperial Mentat into the room, closing the doors behind him with a solid thump, occluding the gazes of those outside trying to see the proceedings inside the chamber as he enters.
		Titus settles into a seat opposite the Guild Legate and glances around at the CHOAM representatives to see if any comment is forthcoming.

		June 28, 2001 Officials Alarmed by Dengue Outbreaks By Matt Reed, The Cambodia Daily Choam khsan district, Preah Vihear province - A five-man team from the National Malaria Center ferried into this former Khmer Rouge stronghold via military helicopter this week to deal with a dengue fever outbreak that has killed at least 11 people.
		Armed with several backpack canisters, the staffers have spent the week spraying insecticide in three communes where at least 120 people have been diagnosed in the last month with a disease that had previously been considered rare in this rural district near the Thai border.
		Officials mark the start of the outbreak in Choam Khsan as May 20, when one district resident traveled to Nam Yun village in Thailand for treatment and was diagnosed with dengue by doctors there.

		Still, the design has spread to many house navies, and the CHOAM inspector fleet can call on several for blockade purposes during times of trade war.
		But against a foe bringing Lasguns to the fore, it is an extremely risky choice, and in most cases once a Lasgun has been sighted on the battlefield the Shielded Monitor is forced to turn off its Holtzman generators.
		CHOAM treats this is a Common variant, the Bene Gesserit consider it an Uncommon variant, and all others treat it as rare.
