A question for the Landsraad Senate,
The Padishah Emperor has received a request to join the empire from an individual whose character is not one from the Dune universe. While my initial thought was that this goes against my original thoughts of a themed empire, I began to consider the matter with a more long-term perspective (As is fitting of one on the Golden Path) Our situation is similar to that of the Leto II's, we are an empire that must eventually face forces far greater than our current number: the High Command, the Diplomat, the Orcas. While we have the strength of the Sadaukar, the loyal pledge of the Fremen and the cunning of the Bene Tleilax, we are still vastly outnumbered.
So I have a proposal for the Landsraad to consider. What if membership to the Imperium was broaden somewhat? What if membership was there for all to have but senator status reserved for Dune inspired characters? Would those who have joined with the desire to be part of aDune themed empire consider this acceptable? My thought is that this would allow us to preserve the core while also expanding our jihad against all enemie of the Imperium.
I hope this is an acceptable prposal which will both preserve and expand the empire. And barring objection from the Landsraad, I am granting membership to our newest Imperium warrior.
The spice must flow.
