House Harkonnen ascended to power through a combination of economic manipulation and relentless military strategy. Originally a minor entity in the Landsraad, the collective governance of powerful families in the Dune universe, they exploited the "whale fur market" to establish a financial monopoly. This economic leverage enabled them to purchase vast armies and exert influence, ultimately securing the rulership of Arrakis. As the controllers of the planet's exclusive resource, the Spice Melange, House Harkonnen's influence among the major houses soared.

Their governance was characterized by brutal tactics and suppression, particularly against the indigenous Fremen of Arrakis, enhancing their reputation for ruthlessness. Internally, the house promoted individuals based on their ability to engage in assassination and subterfuge, cultivating a culture steeped in betrayal and fear. This strategy not only ensured their economic prosperity but also engendered widespread enmity across the universe.
