Despite the best efforts of the Harkonnens to add their… aesthetic to the settlement, the Richese architecture still stands out, particularly when gazing up at the massive Spire Keep. That structure is a testament to the time when House Richese ruled as siridar governors of Arrakis and built Korona Village, some two hundred years ago.

The Harkonnens have since renamed the settlement Harko Village. It remained only a minor garrison town in the shadow of the capital city of Carthag.

However, with the atomic destruction of Carthag, Harko Village has become the interim capital. The Spire Keep serves as the seat of Harkonnen government on the planet, bringing a great influx of military and civilian personnel.

One can view the rapid construction of Neo-Carthag from Harko. It’s a massive, chaotic endeavor that seems to swallow slaves as fast as they can be provided.

I await further instruction.
