CHOAM, or the Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles, is the organization in the Dune setting that financially controls all trade in the known universe. While the Spacing Guild actually controls international travel, CHOAM handles all the money. All significant wealth in the Padishah Empire is based on control of the stock, and holding directorship positions on CHOAM's board.

Because, y'know, the Great Houses are all trying to grift as much as they can. Which we here at Goblin Dynamics absolutely understand.

Back in 2011, Forbes named CHOAM as the largest fictional corporation. The name means something vaguely like "Honorable Combine for the Upward Advancement of Mercantile (trade)".

The spice must flow.
