DUNE Lore - What is CHOAM (Big Corp in Space)

[@reforgedrole-playinggames1035]

I wanted to thank you for all your hard work. Also I wanted to offer a word of advice. Though the dunes videos are not getting all that many views, we urge you to keep making them. With the release of the new dune project later next year you will see a surge in views. My wife was searching a dune lore video on her phone and yours was the first one she listened too. Thank you for all you do.

Thanks a lot for the support. I was told the same by at least a couple of other people. I do intend to keep making them at least for now, as I'm learning about the Dune universe myself in the process :) Hope your predictions come true. Also hope the pandemic will actually allow the movie to be released on time.

CHOAM is one of the few elements of the Empire that remained relatively unchanged by the transition from House Corrino to House Atredies. At least, it remained almost unchanged on the surface. Underneath, it changed drastically, becoming the mechanism by which Leto II destroyed House after House as part of his long-term plan. And when you're a near-immortal who can see the future, "long-term plan" takes on a rather drastic meaning.

As long as there's a "stable" government, someone's always gonna be in charge of making money :)

Always loved CHOAM, the inner workings of it were as cunning as the Bene Gesserit. Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Even more impressive, given that they didn't have "magical" powers.

Ahhhhhhh!!! An epiphany...the "Combine" it is. Great

I never heard this corporation part from Dune lore before...

[@toomanyaccounts]

[@SkyFly19853]

@@toomanyaccounts I watched the first original movie and then remake one. I played Dune 2000. But this detail I did not know...

Money talks. There's one law for the rich and another for the poor

[@ArdWulf]

So what's next?? The feudal order?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

I'm thinking the landsraad and/or great houses. Then it could go anywhere between the famous houses, fremen, or something more specialized like technology.

[@juliankirby9880]

“Big Corp” in space. Does Mr. Bighead work there?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Multiple versions of him :D

[@juliankirby9880]

GrimDark Narrator that means there may be many Rocko’s running around the galaxy”

[@alexandraponych8410]

[@jasonulysess3652]

Hello KZbin algorithm. But can CHOAM take on C.H.U.D.s?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

A question for the ages.
