Not every player in Dune Awakening Solari for Sale U4GM wants to swear fealty to Great Houses like Atreides or Harkonnen. Some prefer to navigate the world of Arrakis with measured neutrality and economic savvy. That’s where CHOAM, the galaxy’s largest mercantile guild, comes into play. While it may lack the political passion of the major Houses, CHOAM offers its own benefits—especially for those who want flexibility, freedom… and functional architecture.

In this blog, we’ll explore what it means to be CHOAM-aligned, how the starter building sets work, and what architectural options are available if you choose not to align (yet) with a faction.

What is CHOAM?

The Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles (CHOAM) is the commercial backbone of the Dune universe. In Dune: Awakening, CHOAM acts as the neutral starting faction, offering access to basic gameplay mechanics:

• Trade terminals

• Storage access

• Basic missions and deliveries

• Introductory gear and construction sets

When you start your character, you are by default aligned with CHOAM until you pledge to a major faction. This allows you time to explore, build, and develop without the political weight of House loyalty.

CHOAM Building Sets: The Basics

While CHOAM doesn’t offer the flashy architecture of Atreides or the imposing designs of Harkonnen, it provides clean, functional, modular structures that are ideal for new players and pragmatic builders.

🧱 Core Features:

• Neutral colors (sandy browns, grays, light metals) that blend with the Arrakis environment.

• Simple geometric shapes designed for utility and ease of placement.

• Modular layout compatibility, meaning parts connect smoothly across expansions.

• Scalable pieces for small outposts or large trade hubs.

These sets are ideal for players who:

• Haven’t chosen a faction yet.

• Prefer minimalist or practical aesthetics.

• Want to invest in a neutral look that doesn’t attract PvP heat.

How to Access CHOAM and Starter Sets

Unlike faction sets, CHOAM and starter sets are unlocked almost immediately:

Step-by-Step:

1. Start your game and complete the tutorial zones.

2. You’ll be introduced to CHOAM agents and given access to building schematics for Basic Habitation Modules, CHOAM Trade Stations, and Storage Units.

3. The default construction menu opens up the CHOAM Building Set after your first Solari earnings.

You do not need any reputation or specific rank to access these sets. Some components may require small amounts of Solari, stone, and common crafting resources—but they are very affordable compared to faction equivalents.

Can You Customize CHOAM Sets?

Yes! While basic, CHOAM sets are surprisingly adaptable. You can:

• Mix them with unlocked cosmetic pieces from world events.

• Add vendor-purchased decor items like lights, crates, banners, and plants.

• Use dying stations (unlocked later) to recolor certain components.

CHOAM sets don’t lock you into a visual identity, making them a great canvas for your personal style.

Can CHOAM Get Advanced Sets?

No advanced “CHOAM-themed” building sets exist (yet). Unlike Atreides and Harkonnen, CHOAM lacks tiered reputation upgrades for construction cosmetics. That said, staying CHOAM-aligned doesn’t prevent you from:

• Participating in trade across factions.

• Unlocking world event rewards that include unique building pieces.

• Using any neutral or event-based decorations.

In future updates, it’s possible CHOAM will receive more cosmetic building options—especially as the economy and politics of the game evolve.

Can You Stay with CHOAM Forever?

Yes. There is no forced allegiance in Dune: Awakening. You can remain neutral for your entire playthrough and still:

• Build and expand a full base.

• Trade freely with faction-aligned players.

• Participate in public events, spice harvests, and PvE zones.

However, keep in mind:

• You miss out on faction-specific cosmetics and gear.

• Some quests, territory control options, and advanced rewards are locked behind allegiance.

Think of CHOAM as the Switzerland of Arrakis—safe, stable, but a little plain.
