Lore
[TO FINISH by ARedPandah] Rich in history defined by their technological advancements and the saga of sorrowful agony that underpins their moments of glory, Their ancient bloodline tying them back far in times pitting them amongst many great house plots and acts of political intrigue with most current rumours alleging to Bronso Vernius true parentage.
Technocrats hailing from the planet of IX known commonly as the Ixians, their economy centred around the specialist design and manufacture of complex machinery, blurring the lines between what would be considered a thinking-machine. A machine built in the likeness of a human mind, threatening to break the prohibitions of the Butlerian Jihad and frequently putting them at odds with their rivals in House Richese in the supply of machine technology to the Imperium and the ranks of the Bene Tleilax who pursue advancements in genetic engineering and have been long stated enemies of the people of IX and by extension House Vernius.
Current engagements have their representatives deployed on Arrakis during the ongoing War of Assassins between House Atreides and House Harkonnen. House Vernius seems to be on good terms with the Atreides, given the offer of sheltering for the representative within Helius Gate, the Atreides Fortress in Hagga Basin.
Representative Location
The House Representative, Chayson Vernius, is located in Hagga Basin. He can be found in a tower in the east section of Helius Gate.

[1.0] Until recent times, a continuous line of Vernius lords had existed for over ten thousand years. Ours is a saga of agony and glory.
[1.1] As I understand it, he is my first-cousin, twice removed. I have never met the man... That is one of the popularly held beliefs, but there is no way to know if it is true. Perhaps he might have been here once. Perhaps he still is. I would hope that wherever he is, he has found some modicum of fellowship and peace.
[1.2] The history of our House stretches back to the ancient days of the Butlerian struggle. House Vernius has seen great heights and wearying lows.
[1.3] Direct. An admirable trait. I am Chayson Vernius of House Vernius. I am empowered by the Technocrat Council of Ix to oversee the Machine World's business interests here on Arrakis.

1.4.1. Enough about House Vernius.
Chayson Vernius [1.1.1] I would tell him that he still has family that wants to see him well and restored to his rightful place as scion of House Vernius. [1.2.1] In the days of the Old Empire, Ix was a rich world with deep mineral reserves. It was among the first planets to be enslaved by the thinking machines. For more than a century, our people were subjugated by the machine enemy and forced to construct their blasphemous Cymek army. [1.2.2] After our deliverance from the thinking machines, it took our world many long years to recover. Our surface habitations were mostly abandoned as we retreated beneath the surface to rebuild. [1.2.3] Our lowest point was the nearly twenty-five-year-long occupation at the hands of the Bene Tleilax. Ix still hasn't fully recovered. [1.3.1] Our Great House has seen many conflicts over the centuries. Most recently, the Landsraad declared our Earl renegade for crimes he did not commit. Forced into exile, Earl Dominic and his family were hunted down and destroyed. In their absence, the Technocrat Council was formed to govern Ix. [1.3.2] Yes. Earl Dominic was my grandfather, even if the Regis Familia fails to entirely recognize that fact. [1.3.3] What else should we be? House Vernius shares a long and storied past with our Atreides allies - a relationship enduring to this day. [1.3.4] Of course. [1.3.5] Since the Landsraad declared Earl Dominic renegade and his line was hunted, we have had no one but the
