Location
Lore
CHOAM, or the Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles, are the cartel that controls most trade and shipping within the Imperium. Its board members wield immense influence on the Landsraad and are seen as positions of unmatched authority. They are tasked with mineral extraction and distribution both on Arrakis and across the wider universe. Mineral Extraction Facility 3 was one of their facilities located in the Rift region of the Hagga Basin. Protected from the vicious Coriolis storms above, it was chosen primarily to extract erythrite crystal, but has since fallen into disrepair. The ongoing War of Assassins has left the area too dangerous and the mine has become infested with deserters from both sides of the conflict. Freed from any obligation to their houses, the soldiers now focus only on survival by any means necessary.
