	Spacing Guild - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the Anderson/Herbert prequels, the Space Guild was created during the Butlerian Jihad by Norma Cenva, a mathematical genius with great psychic power who allowed herself to mutate using the spice mélange.
		The Spacing Guild has a monopoly on imperial banking and interstellar travel: with the use of melange, guild navigators are the only beings capable of piloting the massive Guild Heighliners safely through space.
		Guild Navigators are human, at the beginning; but their constant exposure to high levels of spice mutates them.

	Guild Navigator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spacing Guild first started using Guild Navigators because the travel technique of spacefolding was not safe; only about 1 out of every 10 Heighliners made it to their final destination before Navigators.
		Norma (the first Navigator and the creator of the Spacing Guild) at first used super-computers to Navigate space but as the Butlerian Jihad did not allow for "thinking machines," she used spice to develop the ability to see the Heighliners path before the Heighliner actually flew.
		In "Chapterhouse Dune" references are made to a Guild Navigator meeting-hall on the planet Junction; it is stated that the hall is vast, in order to accomodate the very large tanks in which Navigators are obliged to live whilst on a planet's surface.

		Bene Gesserit tokens in a space that was declared to be coexisting during the turn do not count as occupying a stronghold for the purposes of determining victory, even if they are the sole occupants after battle is resolved.
		Guild cross-planet shipment is considered to be a shipment, not an on-planet move.
		A space that has been explicitly announced to be non-coexisting may change to coexisting in the same turn only when the space has been vacated by all non-Bene Gesserit tokens and then is later entered by a different faction.

	Dune (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The universe's entire power structure, including the financial and military power of the Imperium and the Great Houses, the Guild's control of interstellar travel, and the Bene Gesserit's special powers, are all subject to the availability of melange, a sociopolitical condition known as hydraulic despotism (dependency on a commodity with one source).
		The Spacing Guild have no choice – their limited powers of prophecy show Paul is capable of it – and they send everyone home.
		More interestingly is the Guild in the series, which bears a similarity (in name and some characteristics) to the Spacing Guild of Dune.

	Dune - Frank Herbert
		Cevna's common sense and intelligence complemented the ferocious energy of her lover, Aurelius Venport, and the two of them made possible the later organization of the Spacing Guild, with all the effect on mankind which that implies.
		The identity, purpose, and influence of the alleged ex-Reverend Mother are some of the many mysteries surrounding the early history of the Spacing Guild, but it is clear that Leona and Cevna became close friends, establishing a comity that was later to direct the course of the exiles' research.
		Using the industry rebuilt by Venport, she designed the first Guild ship, The Golden Advent (legend has it that Cevna christened the ship for Venport's dream of the return of travel, and in his honor, playing on the meaning of his name; Venport, so the legend goes, wanted to call it the Jehanne Be Damned).

	SCIFI.COM \| Frank Herbert's Children of Dune
		The ancient Spacing Guild arose at roughly the same time as the Bene Gesserit.
		With the discovery of the Spice, certain humans were mutated into Guild Navigators, who possess the ability to visualize safe paths through the complexities of space-time and then fold those paths together, permitting the near-instaneous traversal of interstellar distances.
		Because those consequences would have included the extinction of the Guild and the end of the imperium as it had been known for more than 10,000 years, the Guild was forced to accept Muad'Dib as their new emperor.

		The SPACING GUILD, originally a consortium of certain governments and private enterprises with a vested interest in space travel, grew to hold a powerful monopoly on off-world travel and transport, by establishing sole mining rights on Arrakis.
		The Guild found that large quantities of the addictive melange was necessary to accurately transport vessels from one world to another, and that the long term effects of such overdoses included severe physical mutations and enhanced mental powers.
		Because the Jihad did not significantly affect the heart of the Spacing Guild, it grew to become the single most influential political body in the Terran realms.

		Within a month of this announcement, the Terran Spacing Guild was formed by the directors of Earth's aero- and astronautics agencies and by the executives of the world's major technology, engineering, and prospecting firms.
		Working for the most powerful space guild in all the known worlds did that for a man, even if he was only the secretary.

		Spotting 'thopters and the harvester's carrier are never far away, for there is always a sandworm near a "spice blow".
		Guild Navigators were, once, humans; they have been genetically altered by massive overdoses of spice to better see into the fabric of space-time so they can safely navigate the massive Guild Highliners "outside" normal space.
		Due to this mutation, Navigators require a special environment engineered to supply a constant stream of spice intake; the atmosphere is so laden with spice essence that it is poisonous to normal humans.

		Guild ships are basically freighters; there is no ship-to-ship combat in the Dune universe because of the Guild's monopoly on space travel.

	Lorenzo DiTommaso- History and Historical Effect in Frank Herbert’s Dune
		All aspects of the technology of the Imperium were compartmentalized: the index of acceptable machines, the concentration of higher-order mathematics within the limited confines of the Spacing Guild, the virtual banishment of atomic energy (and probably research), and the continued use of millennia-old technological terminology.
		Since the mentats and the Guild are inherently parasitic service institutions, it is the Bene Gesserit who deserve our attention, inasmuch as it is they who attempt to shatter the limits of the question "What is it to be human?" and thus to define the shifting concepts of consciousness and awareness.
		While the Guild was a child of the Jihad, the Landsraad was certainly not: during the C.E.T. years just after the Revolt, the Guild provided free transport for C.E.T. and Landsraad business, the latter continuing "its 2,000-year record of meeting" (406/499/504).

		This spice, called Melange, is everything to the universe as it gives people not only the ability to travel through space, but also has allowed various groups within the population of the universe to develop innate abilities in their minds, giving them almost psychic powers.
		A group that has developed the ability to ‘fold space’ and travel across massive distances to bring the spice to the rest of the universe controls the spice trade.
		This group is called the Spacing Guild, and they’re severely dependent upon Arrakis for spice production, and in turn, the rest of the universe is dependant on the Spacing Guild to distribute the spice to them.

		As a result of the monopoly on space transportation held by the Spacing Guild, all houses are attempting to gain support among the Guild with one thing: spice (melange).
		This spice, found only on Arrakis, is what gives the navigators of the Guild their ability to manipulate time/space, thus allowing spaceships to "fold space" and travel unimaginable distances.
		Therefore, with the spice melange being the most valuable and rarest substance in the imperium, the Great Houses and other factions such as the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and the desert fairing Fremen natives, are all fighting for control of the planet Dune, and contol of the universe.
