==== ''Dune Messiah'' ====
In ''[[Dune Messiah]]'' (1969), the Navigator [[Edric (Dune)|Edric]] engages in a conspiracy to dethrone Emperor Paul Atreides, joined by the [[Bene Tleilax|Tleilaxu]] [[Face Dancer]] [[Scytale (Dune)|Scytale]], the [[Bene Gesserit]] Reverend Mother [[Gaius Helen Mohiam]], and Paul's embittered consort, [[Princess Irulan]] of [[House Corrino]].<ref name="SR">{{Cite web|url=https://screenrant.com/dune-movie-2021-denis-villeneuve-no-guild-good/|title=Why It's a Good Thing the ''Dune'' Movie Doesn't Include the Guild|first=Adam|last=Felman|date=April 3, 2022|website=[[Screen Rant]]|access-date=October 25, 2022}}</ref> With their endless need for melange, the Spacing Guild has a vested interest in breaking Paul's stranglehold over the spice supply. Edric's involvement also protects the conspirators from discovery, as his prescience hides the activities of himself and those around him from other prescients, like Paul. The plot ultimately fails, and Edric and Mohiam are executed by [[Fremen]] naib [[Stilgar]] on orders from Paul's sister [[Alia Atreides]].<ref name="Messiah"/>

In ''[[Chapterhouse Dune]]'' (1985), a "very powerful" Navigator is described as "one of the Edrics", suggesting a possible breeding plan or use of [[ghola]]s.<ref name="Chapterhouse"/>
