		The Honored Matres developed during this Scattering, as an outgrowth from or a combination of the Fish Speakers and Bene Gesserit.
		With the destruction of Tleilax, the unbalanced and vindictive breed of Honored Matres was crushed.
		The Honored Matres are characterized by their extremely violent tendencies and their ability to imprint a man sexually, amplifying his orgasmic response to such an ecstatic (and addictive) height that the victim of an imprinting is a willing slave of the Honored Matre who "marks" him.

		The Tleilaxu were actually exterminated by the Honored Matres upon finding out that they had developed a ghola (Duncan Idaho) with the same sexual talents that the Matres had, a talent the Matres used to enslave men and obtain power over populations.
		Mother Superior Taraza also orchestrated the destruction of Rakis by indirectly revealing to the Honored Matres that the Duncan Idaho ghola, had inherent abilities similar to the Matres, that is the ability to enslave a being using the skills of sex.
		After the Honored Matres destroyed Gammu (where Duncan was raised and trained), they set their sights on Rakis after hearing that Duncan had escaped their attack and fled there.

		In her most obsequious tones, Rebecca said: " I was told, O Great Honored Matre, that you wished me to recount the lore of Truthsay and other matters of Gammu." "You were mated to a Truthsayer!" It was accusation.
		I can repeat his words if you wish." Great Honored Matre considered this, glancing from side to side at her aides and councillors, who were beginning to show signs of boredom.

		The last two Dune novels are about the Bene Gesserit and how they deal with an invasion of the "Honored Matres," which is a perversion of their own secret society.
		And the Honored Matres have no reason, at all, to be fearful of the Bene Gesserit.
		Both the Bene Gesserit and Honored Matres are martial arts experts and I would have liked to have seen more direct confrontation between them.

		They are [multiplying] like rabbits still in their no-ship prison and the BG sisterhood takes away the babies hoping to find genetic markers that they haven't seen before (continuing on in their quest for a perfect human).

		On another front, we have the proceedings on Chapterhouse, where former Honored Matre Murbella tries to merge the Bene Gesserit and the Honored Matres into a unified force to be able to defend the Old Empire from the Ancient Enemy that is coming from the fringes of the Scattering.
		Meanwhile, Murbella is leading the Sisterhood on a crusade to crush the remaining Honored Matre cells so that there is no opposition to her when the Ancient Enemy arrives.
		The fact that the Honored Matres have their basis in the old Tleilaxu axlotl tanks makes a kind of sense when you think about it, and the fact that they're running from the Ancient Enemy because they ticked them off makes some sense too.

	Lasgun - Dune - A Wikia wiki
		During the days of the Old Imperium, lasguns were often ornate in their design, with detailed scrollwork embedded into the handles.
		However, by the time of the Honored Matres, the designs had become less intricate and more functional.
		However, when shields were being employed, lasguns were generally not used because contact of a lasgun beam with a sheild generally caused massive explosions that often killed everyone within a large radius.

		Moreover, The Reverend Mother Darwi Odrade, during the time of the Honored Matres, had declared to Tleilaxu Master Twylyth Waff that neither she nor any of her sisters would become an axolotl tank.
		This remark elicited shock from the Master, a reaction that indicated that the Bene Gesserit suspicion was true, especially since he did not deny it.
		Despite the revulsion axlotl tanks caused in many groups and cultures, by the time the Honored Matres had conquered the planets of the Old Imperium, the Bene Gesserit had adopted them for the creation of gholas to further their cause.
