Organisational Information

Visual Introduction to House Ordos. Extracted from Emperor: Battle For Dune.

One of the Houses Major, House Ordos was a mercenary and mercantile faction, hailing from the frozen world of Draconis IV. House Ordos experimented with a number of technologies banned by the Great Convention. Whilst this gave them a number of advanced technologies and a general upper-hand on the rest of the universe, it made them distrusted by all, and created a smoke-screen of taboo around them. This may in fact have been what they intended. They were also renowned for their sheer lack of mercy, pity, decency and their machine-like desire to profiteer.

The Executrix

The reason for the Ordos lack of humanity may have stemmed from their leader, the Executrix, four beings that shared a single mind and communicated via a creature they dubbed "The Speaker", a humanoid whom they were plugged into. The Executrix's mind worked in the same sort of "cause and effect" manner that a machine's would, and this was likely the cause of their intolerance and adamant disposition, and the basis for their dictator-like decisions.

All other considerations are trivial. - The Executrix
