House Perko

House Minor subservient to House Harkonnen. The name means stone or rock. It is the senior house on planet Volod.

House Perko styles itself as the rock on which the stability of the planet Volod is built. It is an ancient family that has been on the planet Volod since it was first settled, many millennia ago, or so the Perkos claim. The Melechs dispute this.

Home World: Volod (also controls the desert world of Hulit)

House Type: Minor

Traits: Ambitious, Technological

Vassal to: House Harkonnen

Allies: House Anson

Enemies: House Melech

Primary Domain: terraforming and paraterraforming technology, and climate management - House Perko also controls the desert world of Hulit (the next world in from Volod).

Secondary Domain: melange distribution - the other houses on Volod gain their spice from House Perko. It also sells it visitors to the world. Being at the end of the supply chain, the price is high, up to 62,000 solari per gram.

The house must pay an annual tithe of soldiers to House Harkonnen every year.
