[ Bene Gesserit | Bene Tleilaxu | Guild | Ix | Smugglers ]

Bene Gesserit
The Moritani were generally weary of the Bene Gesserit, though this feeling has subsided over the years. The House had an unspoken policy to never employ the help of the BG, even if it meant death. However, this began to change during the reign of Count Cesare, when at one time he was engaged to a Bene Gesserit. Ever since the arrival of the new Siridar, an even more moderate approach has begun and the use of this faction could become common.

Bene Tleilaxu
House Moritani is very wary of the Bene Tleilax. They have had little personal contact with them, and are quite suspicious that they might be pawns whose aims are to overthrow the Imperial House. They do not, however, have an official policy as of yet, since there has been no need for one. At present the Moritani hold the Tleilaxu in suspicion and quandary.

Guild
House Moritani holds the Guild in utmost regard. They do so not only out of necessity, for transportation and commercial reasons, but also because the Guild has helped to make House Moritani what it is today. The Moritani have a great portion of their wealth put in the production of personal frigates as well as some sundry parts for Guild Heighliners, and have exclusive rights to some of them. They would not jeopardize their relationship with the Guild for anyone save the Emperor.

Ix
The Moritani maintain the popular belief that mankind should hold dominion over machines and not the other way around. They view Ix as a necessary evil, and when the opportunity arises will purchase technology for the ever expanding industry of the planet Grumman, but nothing which even suggests at computational power.

Smugglers
House Moritani views smugglers as some of the lowest of the low, especially since the House has experienced commercial ramifications due to their existence on Arrakis. In general, though, the Moritani banking blood causes them to hold in revulsion anything that would help anyone (save of course themselves and the Imperium) to bypass commercial protocol and cause a loss in profits for the Guild.

The Arrakeen Smugglers in particular have incurred the wrath of the Moritani, and the House is now continuing its crusade for a crackdown on smuggling.
