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 was 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|Behind_the_Scenes}}
-As with other planets in the [[Titans|Titan]] empire, Ix later became one of [[Omnius|Omnius']] syncronized worlds. The [[Thinking Machines]] used the planet as a major manufacturing base, due in no small part to its natural resources. Ix was ultimately conquered during the [[Butlerian Jihad]] but retained its role as a major producer of technology. {{ref|Behind_the_Scenes}}
