The Butlerian Jihad banned Thinking Machines, reshaping the Dune universe with a strict feudal order. The Great Convention outlawed atomics against humans, introduced Kanly (feuds), and the War of Assassins, while the Orange Catholic Bible declared, “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.” This sparked a reliance on human abilities, leading to the rise of Mentats, the Bene Gesserit, and the Spacing Guild as replacements for lost technologies.

However, this post-Jihad era entrenched an oppressive class system, the Faufreluches, to maintain imperial control. Feudalism enabled colonization but fueled inequality, with the Fremen suffering under Harkonnen rule. The Jihad’s legacy defined the Imperium’s rigid structure, ensuring stability at the cost of widespread oppression and setting the stage for Dune’s unfolding saga.
