	Bene Tleilax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Not organized along feudal lines (as most of rest of the Imperium is), the Tleilaxu are secretive and very little is known about them although in Heretics of Dune their society is said to be a meritocracy.
		Much later in the series, it is revealed that the masters of the Tleilaxu have been using this as an improvised device for immortality: at their death, they are cloned; their clone recovers its memories, and the masters, in their serial incarnations, have memories stretching back thousands of years.
		In Heretics of Dune, it is revealed that the Tleilaxu can also create the spice melange in axlotl tanks, breaking the monopoly on spice that Arrakis held for thousands of years which strongly determined the economics and the politics of the Imperium.

		The relationship between the Tleilaxu and the rest of the Imperium is one of ever shifting complexity.

		The Tleilaxu are an interesting vision of what a corporation might look like in 10,000 years.

		Ix, with help from the Tleilaxu, genetically engineered Hwi to charm the God Emperor Leto, and was so successful that he proposed to her.

	Reviving the Ghola
		The presence of the BT (Bene Tleilaxu) in the game is rightfully tied to the dead, but the Bene Tleilaxu "tanks" are no more than a copy of COSMIC ENCOUNTER's "warp".
		Bene Tleilaxu You may use a Karama card as a lasegun in an attack on a leader, or (optional rule) as both a lasegun and a shield when played as a trap.
		This illustrates another facet of the Tleilaxu paradox, that of the failure of winning by strongholds strengthening the chance of winning by spice.

		Almost all Tleilaxu intelligence reports about this accursed sisterhood state that at all cost they want to prevent another disaster like the one they had to endure when they finally got their Kwisatz Haderach.
		He felt the tendencies that nudged him to do the Tleilaxu Master's bidding were causally prior to his conscious mind and therefore extremely threatening to his intellectual autonomy, in the same way that a physically based causal agent such as libido can override any and all conscious decision-making processes.
		She was pleased their scheme was working - lack of knowledge of the relationship between Tleilaxu Masters and their gholas had constituted a potential gap in their plan, but apparently Idaho had managed to override Scytale's attempts at reinstating the hierarchy, in accordance with the Mentat projection he had made earlier.

		What separates Tleilaxu from others (other than an odd band name) is the fact that many of the tracks are so far removed from the dancefloor.

		The fear that he could sense out there was his hold on any reality that might arise from that incubating reservoir of life: the Tleilaxu civilization that hat originated here and then spread its powers afar.
		All through the bad times of the Prophet Leto II (not God Emperor but God's Messenger), all through the Famines and the Scattering, through every painful defeat at the hands of lesser creatures, through all of those agonies the Tleilaxu had build their patient forces for this moment.
		Other Tleilaxu planets, other great cities, interlinked, interdependent, and with central allegiance to his God and his city, awaited the signal that all of them knew must come soon.

		A very secretive group that has experimented with the human genome for thousands of years to create horrific monsters, human computers, and shape-shifting warriors.
		The Tleilaxu also have training facilities that train it's students to become human computers which can be used for many purposes like a memorizer, processor, hypothesist, generalist, simulationist, and/or advisor.
		The Tleilaxu also make face dancers, which are humanoid shape-shifters all they have to do is observe someone for a while then mimic their every feature.

	Duncan Idaho
		Not knowing exactly what purpose Idaho will serve, the Bene Gesserit suspect that the Tleilaxu are using the gholas to control the timing of his release upon the universe, implying some Tleilaxu purpose in addition to their own.
		The current ghola survives, and entraps an Honored Matre, revealing the Tleilaxu purpose: The Honored Matres, who are all female, rule by the sexual enslavement of men--their sexual abilities dwarf what the Bene Gesserit can accomplish, to the point of creating physical addiction in men; Idaho is the Tleilaxu response.
		When Murbella, an Honored Matre, tries to sexually bond Idaho, she is also enslaved, and the two of them are confined to the no-ship on Chapterhouse.

		Another reason is that the variant powers which were introduced in magazine articles (the Lansraad, the Bene Tleilaxu and the Ixians -- see The GENERAL, volume 26, number 1, and volume 18, number 5, and Heroes, volume 1, number 1) were not integrated into these expansions.
		When using the Bene Tleilaxu variant, only the Fremen, Harkonnen, and the Atreides players have to pay the Bene Tleilaxu to bring their Main Character Leader back from the tanks.
		In the situation in which both the Bene Tleilaxu and another player declare the same leader a traitor at the same moment, the Bene Tleilaxu claim takes precedence.

		Equal parts Squarepusher and Burzum, The Tleilaxu Music Machine seems to mock these influences by laying primitive "misplaced" cymbal sounds over a complex beat pattern or processing their heavily distorted guitars to the point that the melodies seem to be emitting instead from a number of lawnmowers.
		The Tleilaxu Music Machine provide an aural assault which is nauseating, soulless, and full of paranoia.
		One pictures rows of mangled corpses gleefully rising again from the battlefield to spread disease and carnage.

		On "Sick," Tleilaxu (which features DJ Crasta, who spins at Silk City every Saturday night) lays down blissful, dub ’n’ bass beats with sparse layers of keyboard.

		Pacifica’s drum ’n’ bass beats pop a little more frantically manic on "Fresh." Gentle oscillators swoosh intermittently while a verbal sample occasionally jumps into the mix.

		At the beginning of Prelude to Dune the Ixians are ruled by House Vernius.
		The Tleilaxu invade in House Atreides, on the (somewhat justified) pretext that House Vernius were creating thinking machines (a fighting Mek was created shortly before in the story) and are driven out of Ix in House Corrino.
		By the time of Dune the Ixians are other than the Bene Tleilax probably the most successful of the fringe worlds that maintain a sophisticated technological base, having had their technological base rebuilt at the cost of House Corrino reparations.

	DUNE EMPEROR: REMOVED UNITS
		Known only as Tleilaxu Doom, this building or unit has very little data referring to it.

		Though these are not buildable in the game (without a mod), this picture remains showing that at one point in development, more units might have been available to the subhouses.

		In Dune Messiah, the Tleilaxu Scytale reveals that the Bene Tleilax created their own Kwisatz Haderachs--in their case, beings of pure evil or pure good, indicating that the term "Kwisatz Haderach" means some sort of creature of essence.
		Scytale observes that their Kwisatz Haderachs could be destroyed by forcing them to become their opposites.
