This is my submission for the September Jam from my buddy . Check his journal [link] for the full scoop!

From left to right stands a Sardukar, Emperor Shaddam IV, and Gaius Helen Mohiam. Here's a further description of my entry:

In the year 10191 A.G. the known universe is ruled by Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and the keys to his power lie in FEAR, CORRUPTION, and CONSPIRACY.

FEAR grips the Great Houses of the Landsraad, keeping them from uniting against the Emperor and threatening his grip on the universe. The embodiment of this fear are the Emperor's fiercely loyal and legendary warrior legions known as the Sardukar. There is perhaps only one force that can defeat them; the mysterious Fremen of the planet DUNE.

CORRUPTION runs rampant throughout the Imperium. Nowhere is this more evident than on the Golden Lion Throne, where sits the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV himself. From the assassination of his own father Elrood IX to his secret participation in the destruction of House Atreides, Shaddam has proven he will go to any lengths to maintain his grip on power.

CONSPIRACY is the ultimate game in the universe, and no one is better at this than the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood to which the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam belongs. For generation upon generation, the Bene Gesserit have been manipulating the blood lines to produce the ultimate being; the Kwisatz Haderach. Nothing, and no one will stand in the way of their goals.
