*The name, "The Nine" or "IX", is likely a reference to the "[[wikipedia:Ix (Dune)|Ix]]" in Frank Herbert's ''Dune'' series, a fictional planet whose position from its sun inspired the name, ruled by the Ixian Technocracy. Ix was the primary provider of technology for the Old Imperium (or Galactic Padishah Empire) after the infamous ~~Bulterian~~ Jihad, which banned AI; ironically, Leto Atreides II used many of their creations later in his reign, a situation unthinkable in his early years.
