Ix is the ninth planet in the star system Alkalurops, and ruled by the Ixian Technocracy. The Ixian economy depends on manufacturing complex machinery, which sometimes flouts the moral-juridical proscriptions of the Butlerian Jihad. The planet's name stemmed originally from the misinterpretation of the Roman numeral IX (9).

-==History==
-The star system within which Ix is located originally went by the title ''Rodale'', with Ix being named ''Rodale IX'' due to its status as the star's ninth planet. Shortly before the [[Time of Titans]] the son of the planet's ruling family, better known as [[Xerxes]], killed his family and took control of the world in the name of [[Tlaloc]]. It was at this time that the planet's name was shortened to ''Ix'' and the numeric relevance lost. <ref name="MC">''[[Dune: The Machine Crusade''</ref>
-As with other planets in the [[Titans|Titan]] empire, Ix later became one of [[Omnius]] synchronized worlds. The [[Thinking Machines]] used the planet as a major manufacturing base, due in no small part to its natural resources. Ix was ultimately [[liberation of Ix|liberated]] during the [[Butlerian Jihad]] after a [[rebellion on Ix|rebellion]]<ref name="MC"/> but retained its role as a major producer of technology.

-During the [[Omnius Scourge]], Ix was one planet with a population much larger than the [[League of Nobles]] could ever preserve. [[Cuarto]] [[Abulurd Harkonnen]] was sent to Ix to present quarantine instructions and begin preparations for survival. [[Supreme Sorceress]] [[Ticia Cenva]] followed him in order to preserve key bloodlines from the survivors. The genetic stock of the native Ixians had not yet been heavily assimilated into the general League population.
