Editor note

A note about gender. There is no option for the player to choose the gender of their commander. But nothing in the game imposes gender on the commander that the player chooses. Commanders are not referred to with gender specific pronouns. Within the Dune universe, there are males, females, and then the concept of gender fluidity or gender malleability. There's nothing in the Dune universe to suggest that the position of commander of any of the three Noble Houses would be limited by gender of any sort. Though, no commander is going to be a Bene Gesserit (who have their own very specific gender uniquities), but that's for reasons having nothing to do with gender. Players can imagine the gender of their commander however they want to.
