Bene Tleilax

The Bene Tleilax, often called Tleilaxu, are a secretive and technologically advanced society in the "Dune" universe. They excel in genetic engineering, creating biological products like clones (called gholas), which retain memories from their previous lives, and other bio-enhanced organisms. Known for their clandestine activities, they manipulate genetics for political and practical purposes, often operating in the shadows. Their society is structured around mastery of biology over technology, making them both innovative and ethically ambiguous. They play a crucial role in the complex political and religious dynamics within the "Dune" saga.
