The Butlerian Jihad inspired a revolt in the Synchronized World Ix. Ixians rebelled against the thinking machine occupation. In 177 BG Xerxes moved to suppress it. Grand Patriarch Iblis Ginjo inspired the rebels into throwing themselves to the battle. The League of Nobles gave them a few weapons, understanding that there is no hope for them nor intending to aid them. A rebel named Handon compiled images of the destruction caused by Xerxes and other robots on the planet, into an image pack which reached Serena Butler although she was not supposed to know about it.
