Bene Tleilax
A closed society of genetic manipulators, selling biological work no other world will touch.
Also known as The Tleilaxu.
The Tleilaxu keep to their hidden, heavily guarded homeworld and sell the rest of the Imperium biological work nobody else will touch. Their trade runs to the edges of what the Great Convention permits and past what most Houses will admit to buying, which has never stopped anyone buying. To outsiders they play the humble, pious tradesman, devout followers of a faith no one else fully understands, and they have been playing it long enough that the performance is indistinguishable from the fact. Clients need them badly and trust them barely, since nothing bought from Tleilax comes with an honest account of what else was built into it. Patience is the real weapon. Centuries of unhurried scheming have let them outlast and repeatedly outmaneuver powers as old as the Bene Gesserit and the Spacing Guild.
