These warriors have been genetically selected for over 3,000 years using the genes of the Empire's most powerful warriors, including the offspring of Duncan Idaho's countless Gholas, descended from the best of the Harkonnens, Atraides, Fremen, and even Sardaukar. Leto II really surrounded himself with the most evolved elements in the human genome.

Many don't factor in the sheer scale and societal aspect of warfare in Dune. The Guild monopoly and Great Convention of the Landsraad prevent a lot of what people have come to expect from a Sci-Fi war. It isn't until at least Heretics of Dune that an alternative to Spice-grown Navigators is developed, so for thousands of years everyone was forced to play by the rules if they wanted to buy a ticket to leave their own planet. Skirmishes between rival Houses would have to be smaller-scale "Wars of Assassins"; unless the Emperor, Bene Gesserits, CHOAM and/or the Spacing Guild itself signed off on it. And then later, the God Emperor.

The question of whether Atreides soldiers could match the Sardaukar is a fascinating one! The Sardaukar were indeed the most feared soldiers in the Imperium, known for their brutal training and unwavering loyalty to the Emperor. They were raised in the harsh conditions of Salusa Secundus, which forged them into elite warriors. Duke Leto Atreides invested heavily in training his troops, and under the guidance of skilled leaders like Duncan Idaho and Gurney Halleck, the Atreides soldiers became a formidable force. While they might not have reached the same level as the Sardaukar in terms of sheer ferocity and conditioning, they were highly disciplined and well-trained, earning respect and fear from their enemies. In the books and adaptations, it’s suggested that the Atreides soldiers were close to matching the Sardaukar, especially in terms of tactical effectiveness and morale. The Emperor’s fear of Duke Leto’s growing power and the potential of his army was one of the reasons for the betrayal and the subsequent attack on House Atreides. In a direct confrontation, the Sardaukar might still have the edge due to their extreme training and conditioning. However, the Atreides soldiers, with their superior leadership and strategic acumen, could potentially hold their own, especially if they had the element of surprise or advantageous terrain. It’s a testament to the strength and potential of House Atreides that they were seen as a significant threat to the Emperor’s power. _What do you think would have happened if the Atreides had more time to build their forces?_ I guess the number 1 priority was the alliance with the Fremen...I think they could have won if Duke Leto had enough time to solidify the alliance. Atreides soldiers could have learned the Fremen ambush tactics + some Fremen forces moving to Arrakeen for defensive. Their biggest problem was lack of men(they had the quality but not the numbers) and the unfamiliar environment( which is the Fremen's biggest strength actually). If they manged to stop the assault -> with the Fremen's help get the spice production on track. Duke Leto would have had the Landsraad and the Spacing Guild(C.H.O.A.M) on his side. It might be a stretch but I think he had a good change to become the Emperor.

@KRAKOA8898 күн бұрын
@@bsmartr806 Well, the course of events would likely have been significantly altered. In the Dune universe, let’s explore some possibilities: One: The element of surprise is a powerful advantage in warfare. Without it, the attackers would face a more resilient and organized defense. If the defenders had advance knowledge, they could have taken defensive measures. This might include reinforcing their positions, deploying additional forces, and setting up early warning systems. Two: The defenders could also evacuate critical personnel and/or assets to safer locations. Knowing about the attack, the defenders could adjust their strategy. They might choose to engage the enemy earlier, disrupt their plans, or even launch a preemptive strike. Three: With advance warning, the defenders could gather intelligence on the attackers-understanding their capabilities, weaknesses, and objectives. This information would allow for targeted responses and countermeasures. Four: Fear and confusion would be minimized. Surprise attacks often create chaos and panic. If the defenders were aware, they could maintain morale, prevent panic, and organize a more effective response. Five: The defenders might also seek alliances or diplomatic solutions to prevent the attack altogether. The revelation of an impending attack might have political consequences. Leaders would need to make tough decisions, and public perception - Bene Gesserit, Sardaukar, Bene Tleilax, Fremen, CHOAM, Spacing Guild, Landsraad - could shift. Six: In the Dune universe, where prophecy, prescience, and destiny play significant roles, advance knowledge could alter the fabric of fate. Perhaps Paul Atreides or other prescient characters would foresee the attack and take actions to change the outcome. AND remember, the spice melange in Dune grants heightened awareness and visions, so the concept of foresight is central. Had the defenders possessed such abilities, the entire scenario might have unfolded differently. Ultimately, the unknown variables-prophecy, loyalty, and betrayal-make Dune’s universe rich and unpredictable. look here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWTMiaGZjd5omJY

We don't have the benefit of time to grow our friendship, but I hope our mutual hatred of Hakonnen is enough. Join us to fight together, or we will surely die alone." I'm also a sucker for space battles. Seeing the Atreides fleet in space, ready for battle rather than being destroyed on the ground... OH BABY that would be cool.

The thing is, that Frank herbert desired a very specific combat system, that harkened back to ancient times and that is why close combat is the preferred method of engagement in Dune. Shields many think are somehow infallible against high-speed ballistics and that because lasguns are mutually assured destruction that other methods of long range combat just became obsolete. This also follows the implied invincibility of shields unless they are slowly penetrated, which many take as fact and cease to think beyond that, because the books and the universe are so great that this totally passes through them and don't bat an eye. But even in Dune and in the new movies in particular we see a few methods that are effective at dealing with shields. From the squash head slow penetrators used against the Atreides frigates and the smaller missile varieties used by the Fremen against the shielded Harkonnen gunships, to the dart penetrators used by Doctor Yue against Duke Leto and one used by a Sardaukar, the universe itself tells us that long range combat is alive and well. Long story short shields can be beaten by specialized long range weapons and more can be created, but this takes away from the close combat doctrine and intent of Frank herbert so people tend to forget this. Examples of weapons that could take shielded enemies from other franchises are, the Boltgun of Warhammer, because the projectiles are self-propelled, there is a short time, where they would hit the shield without exploding, then slow down, penetrate the shield and explode within the shield confines. Squash head penetrators are meant to maintain a lot of kinetic energy even at relatively slow speeds, so they could still transfer a lot of energy after entering the shield at a relatively slow velocity. Monomolecular net weapons, that surround the target would slowly encompass the enemy and deal devastating damage even at insanely slow speeds. Non-Laser based weapons, like particle beams, plasma and other would hit the shield not trigger the nuclear reaction. In theory (though this is never discussed) sufficient enough ordnance will break shields and this means that simple saturation could be effective. Chemical and flame weapons become central to warfare as they all effectively by pass shielding, so it is not that long range weapons are obsolete, its that Frank Herbert wanted to keep a certain feel to his universe and so chose not to dwell too much on methods that would break his chosen combat methodology.

One Fremen gets one lasgun and shoots one Harkonen, or hell, just shoots the main shield around the Harkonen base on Arakis. It's a completely unworkable scenario for any number of reasons. Shielding simply has no place in the story except as a rational for using swords. Tech would simply be adapted to the situation to make a weapon that defeats the shield. He even introduces weapons that actually DO defeat shields. One of the great powers was simply going to figure out how to obviate this defense in an automated fashion and rule the universe. My money would be on the Ixians. Don't get me wrong. I still love the story. It's just not "sci-fi". It's a fantasy/philosophy story in a fantasy universe. Which is fine.

@thomriley103629 күн бұрын
@@JoeSevy Don't get me wrong. All of this depends entirely upon a fictional tech called the Holtzman Effect, so it's not like we can run experiments to determine just how effective/stupid all these notions are. I do know that the lasgun/shield explosion is described in the text as unpredictable, meaning that a thermonuclear detonation could occur at any point along the beam, killing either the shooter, the target or both and everyone in the vicinity. It's not something that can be reliably deployed or expected to work without consequences. On a purely sociopolitical level, the Holtzman shield tech is a brilliant plot device to explain the neo-feudalistic stranglehold over the populations of planetary feifdoms. Only those with sufficient power and resources can afford to deploy these shields or laguns on any meaningful level. But, those who can will immediately gain supremacy over those who cannot, effectively ending any uprising before it begins. Without the shields, every planet would be in a constant state of rebellion, or at least more capable of resistance to the likes of the Harkonnens. The intangible in all of this comes down to the Guild Monopoly on space travel and the stratified castes of the Imperium itself. The Fremen have been in rebellion agianst the Landsraad for so long that it's simply their status quo. They've been driven off many planets and subjected to horrendous persecution since before their predecessors left old Earth. Sure, the Fremen have the means to set off the shields of their enemies, but to what end? They'd be overwhelmed by the Imperial response in short order, if not exterminated outright as a perceived threat to Spice production. Their tactic was to lay low and hide their capabilities through bribes and trickery... until they decided not to, and that's what brings us to 'Dune Messiah'. I've often heard the argument that somebody somewhere would find a way around the shields, but again, they already have. The sword and pike. The nobles are indeed fighting one another, but their first order of business is the maintenance of their own power over their subjects. They're not interested in expending their wealth in the development of new technology, they want to keep things exactly as they are, with their own blood sitting at the top of the social pyramid, and the Bene Gesserit are helping them do it for their own convoluted reasons. All that said, Lightsabers are kind of dumb when you get right down to it, and how would you even use that sort of weapon unless you're already some sort of space wizard? Worse, why wouldn't someone stop shooting at them when they know they're just going to deflect every blaster shot? None of this is an argument, of course, but I do enjoy the discussion of it.

@@thomriley1036 For sure. Yes. Lightsabers are dumb as magic rocks in a magic box. But they look cool, sound cool, and are touted as an 'elite' weapon. Holzman shields would be countered by a robotic miniature tank that runs around simply grabbing soldiers and crushing them, or just running them over. It's really just a mechanism to get to a medieval romantic fantasy society. The real fantasy involved in these two universes is positing a technologically stagnant society, though in both cases the threat of innovation looms as the tipping point that might destroy the entire societal order. The point of Dune has nothing to do with the "story" of the quisach haderach, or any of the fascinating societal segments which are presented. It's a philosophical exercise in exploring the meaning of knowledge itself. And in contrast, what free will means in the context of knowledge. Free will must always imply uncertainty. What does this mean if there is an omniscient being? One who can actually know the future demonstrates that the future exists as nothing more than an extension of the present. Paul muses whether he sees the future, or creates it. Unable to NOT see the future he undertakes vast fantastically violent and tyrannical measures to prevent the only other future he can see: The elimination of all life. Bear in mind that I read this longer ago than most people in the world have even been alive. My distant memories may not do justice to the books. Comment: I loved the first movie back in 84. I was completely taken in by the grandeur and the portrayal of the characters. The latest two movies however move into the realm of fascination. Lady Jessica seems almost perfect. Reflecting the sinister Bene Geserit training, though Herbert wrote her character as quite significant, I don't feel like the Jessica from the book does justice to the one from the film. She is magnificent, and I think exactly what Herbert would have portrayed had he been able to. By comparison Paul, and virtually everyone else is little more than sand being moved from place to place by Jessica. There is a war going on. But Paul, the Fremen and many others are mere pawns. This is the story, not of Paul, but of Jessica. You are clearly well versed in Dune lore. What is your take on Jessica's portrayal in the two films?
@thomriley103628 күн бұрын
@@JoeSevy To answer your question, Lady Jessica is perhaps the most important character in the entire series. (Although, the Duncan(s) and Leto II also have legitimate claims to that title.) Every time one of these Dune movies/miniseries come out, everyone starts discussing the intentions of Paul, because he's the star of the "Hero's Journey" and all that. But, then the tourists usually just stop at book 1 and fail to realize that Paul's story was only a small part of the bigger picture. Sure, he's central to the plot, but he's basically born on rails to fulfill a manufactured prophecy. Right now, a good many people are jumping to conclusions in the opposite direction by calling him the "True Villain" of Dune, as if every character is one big moral binary. Jessica, on the other hand, set all the events of 'Dune' in motion. If she had just stuck to the script and done her job, she'd have delivered an Atreides daughter who would've married Feyd for political reasons. The Sisterhood would've had their pet Kwizatz Haderach within a generation or two... But, all know that that didn't happen. Jessica went over everyone's heads and basically seized power. Much as Gurney was once a slave of Harkonnens who became the governor of Geidi Prime/Gammu, Jessica went to Caladan as a concubine and became the mother of God in the hearts and minds of countless souls. Francesca Annis is still the picture of Lady Jessica in my mind's eye, but her character seems to fall away from the plot towards the end of the film. Not her fault though, as the ending of Dune (1984) has a lot of pacing issues. (Also, when did Paul learn to control the weather?) Rebecca Ferguson's Jessica follows the opposite trajectory; becoming an uncanny force to be reckoned with after her Spice Agony ascension. She did an excellent job of conveying the loss of humanity that comes with transcension to something else. Still, I would've liked to have seen more of her romance with the Duke depicted on screen. I'm not sure if automated "tanks" would really be the solution to Shielded Infantry, but the books do mention "Crusher" ships that descend from orbit to smash shielded targets. Apparently, the Harknonnens deployed Crushers against the Atreides when they seized Arrakis, but I've never seen those in a movie. The Butlerian edicts prohibit unmanned mechanical development. I suppose that they could be remote-controlled like a Hunter-Seeker, but that has its own logistical hurdles to overcome. The Spacing Guild would still have to deliver them to the battlefield, where they'd be vulnerable to enemy air power during deployment. Still, the Harkonnens did find a creative use for "antique" artillery pieces, so it's really all in how you'd use them.
