The Servitors were recently established as a planetary transportation and security branch of the Spacing Guild. The Spacing Guild Board, working with the support of the Ixians, declared that Vidar of House Ravenii would take on the mantle of creator and Director of the Servitors as of March 18, 2024. Director Ravenii has set out to gather recruit in order to maintain a staff of all backgrounds and experiences. This will ensure the Servitors are able to provide the best services possible.
The Servitors asks that its members are proficient in both arms and navigation. The two main branches of the guild, the Security arm and Navigator's branch are responsible for a vast majority of the Servitors operations on the sacred spice planet. Each is outfitted for their respective missions and trained to combat almost any threat they come across. It is the ultimate goal to serve all those calling Arrakis or Dune...home. Only Together can humanity overcome the dangers Arrakis poses.

Collection and Storage of Resources
Members of the guild are encouraged to donate resources collected to the guild in order to create and contribute to a massive stockpile of resources for member use in any project. These are managed by the Guild Support Personnel and distributions are authorized and carried out via a Support Officer. Members of the guild are directed to keep their own private stock of resources for their own personal ventures. Again, donation to the guild is encouraged for the benefit of all members.

Contracts are agreements set between a guild representative (i.e.: an Officer, Emissary, or higher ranking official) and a client. The guild will set a standard price for a service, and the client will agree or offer something of similar or equal value. If a guild member is tipped for their services, regardless of the amount or item, it is encouraged that the member receiving the tip, share with their team. (If member is alone, it is encouraged they keep 80% of the tip and donate the rest to the guild. Successful completion of a contract should be recorded for member progression within the Servitors. This may be recorded through either the "Client Contract Survey" or the "Guild Contract Report tabs, which will be implemented at a later date. Bonuses or rewards will be presented to members who routinely complete contracts in a satisfactory manner.

Guild Members

Trained for battle and skilled in a variety of weaponry, they are crucial to any venture on Arrakis. Whether they are escorting a client through the sands, providing air cover over a gathering party, or completing a contract, they are a force to be reckoned with. These members are under direct supervision and orders from their Guild Officers. They fight for the profit, glory, and betterment of the Servitors of Ix.
