** The Shabda-Oud hooker-nuns are based on the Bene Gesserit (and the Honored Matres from the later books), while their name borrows from "Shai-Hulud", the Fremen name for the {{Sandworm}}s.
** The Techno-Pontificate is the Spacing Guild.
** The Ekonomat is the Landsraad.
** Epiphyte is a highly sought-after type of {{Unobtainium}} like the spice melange.
** The Metabarons' rite of passage, where their fathers maim parts of their bodies while they must show no pain under penalty of death, is reminiscent of the Bene Gesserit test of humanity.

Of course, since Steelhead is a Metabaron, this does not end well at all.
