A treaty is an agreement entered into by two or more factions which define their relations and behavior among one another. Several kinds of treaties exist in Dune: Imperium which enable a variety of political, economic, and military relations between factions. The treaties described in this section are formal agreements with system-based effects, and thus bind players to them. Agreements not specifically mentioned here can be made between players, but they remain non-binding as far as game rules are concerned.
