Caid

This article or section refers to elements from Original Dune

Caid was a military officer's rank that fell above Bashar but below Burseg. The title was used in the known universe during and after the Corrino Empire.

The rank of Caid usually meant that the officer in question dealt mostly with civilians. As a result, a Caid was usually a military ruler in charge of a planetary subdistrict.^[1]
