Places of action of the Dune cycles-Wikipedia

This installation deals with Places of action From the Dune cycles, a related series of science fiction novels, by Frank Herbert, Frank Herbert’s son Brian and Kevin J. Anderson.

The desert planet Arrakis or “Dune” is the planet on which spice is produced. The native residents of Arrakis are the Fremen, offspring from migrating census-sucted slaves. Arrakis is the most valuable planet in the universe, since the spice can only be broken down here. In the beginning, Arrakis is still a desert planet without great vegetation or wildlife. The sandworms, which were not originally come from Arrakis, were introduced and gradually turned the entire planet into a huge desert in their sand trout stage, so that they could only develop into sandworms. Through the conversion that had been started by Paul Areide and by his son Leto Areide II (the Gottakaiser), Arrakis turned into a beautiful, almost primeval and livable planet with good harvest and countless residents. Oceans and forests are also created. For the great sandworms, however, the conversion turned out to be toxic and extremely dangerous, so that they almost die out, except for a few specimens that are in imperial care. After the Kaiser dies after his 3500 years of rule, his body falls into the Idaho river and triggers a chemical chain reaction, which slowly leads to Arrakis gradually turning back into a sandy desert world. Earnings of millennia later, the honored matres decide to finally bring the spice production (on which they themselves are not dependent) to a standstill, since they are in a war against Bene Gesserit and Bene Tleilaxu. The honored mattres attack the surface of Dune with a new weapon that destroys all life on Dune and leaves extensive parts of the surface (since the sand has melted under the extreme heat). However, the Bene Gesserit succeeds in saving a sandworm and bringing to the planet Chapterhouse, where they gradually begin to form the planet by terraforming into a second desert planet in order to continue to be able to harvest spices. When the machines under the guidance of Omnius in the band The Redeemer of the desert planet Arrakis is still uninhabitable in a huge war with humanity.

Since a large part of eleven of the twelve novels of the Dune cycles are located in Arrakis, various places on Arrakis are known.

Sietch Tabr [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The SIETCH of Stilgar’s trunk, which is hidden in the mountains, also called “Stilgars Sietch”. Here Paul Areides and his mother find shelter after the expulsion through the Harkonen.

In this point [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The capital of the desert planet, mostly in the old days Arrakis City called, is the main trading place and the seat of the respective reigning family. The city is comparatively small, it is more of a large village than a real city. The city is trapped by the Schildwall, a huge mountains that are partially destroyed with nuclear weapons during the uprising of the Fremen under Paul Areide.

Carthag [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Capital of Arrakis at the time of the Harkonforn rule. From the Harkonen administrative seat to exploiting the spice. Like arrake by the Schildwall.

South Pole [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The South Pole is used as a base by water dealers and spice smugglers. In addition, the Fremen in the region have a botanical test station (in the early chronicles).

The Wasserwelt Caladan, the third planet of the Delta Pavonis system, lives mainly from fishing and the export of Pundi rice. After the highest warlord of the league of the noble, Vorian Areides, met his great love in this world and founded a family, his house later received the planet as fiefs and ruled there for 26 generations. Lady Jessica Areides later received the planet as a gift from her son, Fremen-Imperator Paul Muad’dib, and spent her retirement there.

The Ordensburg is the last refuge of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood in The Ordensburg of the desert planet . After the honored matres have destroyed all the worlds of sisterhood and the desert planet Arrakis, the Ordensburg is the last bastion of the Bene Gesserit. With the help of the last sandworm of the planet Arraki, the Ordensburg is converted step by step into a new desert planet to ensure the continued existence of the melange.

During the time of Butlers Djihad, the Ordensburg bore the name Parmentier. Raquella Berto-Anirul, a granddaughter of Vorian Atreides, and Mohaandas Suk research on a cure against the fatal plague, which has affected one planet after another. The ruins of the hospital are still at the time when the ordsburg is transformed into a desert.

Corrin was the last of the synchronized worlds on which the computer-all spirit Omnius ruled and the people living there enslaved. After the league of the noble conquered or destroyed all other machine planets, a tough position war took place in the orbit of Corrin for many years Battle of Corrin ended in which Omnius supposedly destroyed and the foundation for the new empire of people was laid.

In memory of this battle, Faykan Butler changed the name of his family in Corrino.

As a home world of mankind, the earth is the throne world of the old empire for a long time until Omnius establishes its machine rule there. For a millennium, the Terra-Omnius is then the decisive incarnation of the artificial collective consciousness of the memorials until the death of Manion Butler’s death by the hand of the independent robot erasm brings people against the machines and butler’s djihad triggers.

A little later, Xavier Harkonnen leads a retribution expedition against the earth, in which every machine and all life on the surface of the planet is wiped out in a nuclear bombing. After that, the earth is absolutely uninhabitable for many thousands of years and only a contaminated wasteland. At the time of rule of the Gottkaiser Leto Areides II. However, thanks to the help of the empire, the earth has again quite recovered and apparently has a moderate climate and some local animal and plant species again. However, it remains unclear whether the earth is still radioactive or whether people have settled again. The Orange Catholic Bible, which is considered one of the most important writings in the entire empire, was also written on earth. ^[first]

Giedi Prime (in German translation Giedi first ) is a planet of the star 36 Ophiuchi B and was one of the main worlds of the league of the noble and later went to the Harkonen, strengthened house as a fief. From here, Baron Wladimir Harkonen planned the destruction of the ATREIDE house hated. The planet is described as dark and rather cool, and there should hardly be any local animals and plant species, which is probably due to poor sunlight.

According to the rule of the Gottkaiser Leto II. ^[2]

Haarko city [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Also: the baronate or barony. The capital of the Harkonen house on their home planet Giedi Primus. The city has a space station.

The Wasserplanet Ginaz, which is crowded by archipelago, is the home of the swords and the seat of her master school. He is ruled by the council of the swords. Ginaz was neither part of the league of the noble nor is it the official part of the empire. Since the services of the sword masters were too valuable to the nobles to risk them, an incorporation was never undertaken.

IX (i.e. “I-X”) is the planet of the technician. The residents of IX are called Ixians. The name IX stems because it is the ninth planet in the associated solar system. In the early chronicles, one learns that the rulers of IX come from Vernius’ house, which is allied with the house of ATreide. After Count Dominik Vernius died during a Sardaukar attack by the detonation of a quarries, Prince Rhombur was seriously injured in the assassination attempt on Leto I. Atreide and his sister Kailea committed suicide, the House of Vernius was considered extinct. Through the rescue of genetic material by Tyros Reffa (son of Elrood Corrino and his concubine Shando, later Dominik Vernius ’wife), Tessia, his wife of Prince Rhombur, was able to give birth to a legitimate heir to the House of Vernius. However, this is disempowered by a group of rich industrial train around train and finally gives up its rule. The guild highlines are built on IX, the gigantic folding ships of the guild. There have always been a lively trade relationships between the room guild and the Ixians. In addition to the Imperium, the room guild is the best customer of IX: Every year, countless new spaceships are commissioned, and the navigators demand more comfort and better technologies for every new model. Among other things, the Ixians are considered trustworthy business people. But they also disregard the laws and prohibitions of Butler’s Djihad, who prohibit high technology and artificial intelligence.

After the devastation of Salusa Secundus, the seat of the empire and the other organs of the empire is built on Kaitain. Kaitain is described as extraordinarily beautifully, with a wonderful architecture and colorful nature. The imperator resided in a palace where he ruled in wasteful splendor. After Paul Areides became an imperator and Arrakis took the place of Kaitain as the seat of the imperator, the Corrino family retired to their original home planet Salusa Secundus. Kaitain was devastated in the course of the djihad and fell into insignificance.

Paul Areides was born on Kaitain after the early chronicles (Volume 3: Haus Corrino).

In the film of the desert planet, Kaitain is portrayed as an earth -like planet that also has a ring system (such as the Saturn rings) in the orbit.

The Cold Randwelt Lankiveil was the exile of the Harkonen house after it was subsequently violated by Abulurd Harkonnens’ betrayal at the battle of Corrin from the empire. Among the sons of Abulurd, hatred developed onto the house of ATreide, which should remain for the politics of her family for eons.

The main export goods Lankiveils are Biondax Walpelze.

Poritrin moved into large parts of its economic power from the attitude of millions of censunni slaves. The planet, which was under the rule of the Bludd house, produced various technologies and instruments, including some prototypes of inventions Tio Holtzman.

Later, parts of the planet were devastated by an uprising of the census and Zenschiite slaves that were lynched by the angry population. Only 101 Zensunni managed to flee with a folding ship prototype.

Richese, once a synchronized world, which then fell to the titans and later joined the empire of people, is one of the main technology suppliers of the well-known universe. As competitors of the Ixians, as well as these, they are eyed by the residents of other worlds. However, they are neither as innovative as the Ixians, nor have their goods their quality. IX is also often accused of copying the inventions, which is also true. Count Ilban Richese and his house was over the planet at the time of Shaddam IV. Since Richese produced weapons and ships for the Bene Gesserit, the planet was destroyed by the honored Matres.
Ilban Richese was the grandfather of Leto I. Areides over his daughter Helena.

Crown [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Richese had a moon called Korona, where tests for illegal experiments and secret spice camp were located. When he found out about it, Imperator Shaddam IV had the moon destroyed with nuclear weapons in 10,175. Due to the flash of explosions, about a quarter of the residents of Richese lost their eyesight. However, part of those affected could be given new eyes by a politically motivated aid campaign by the Tleilaxu. In exchange, the Tleilaxu “asked” (i.e. requested) certain technologies and ships.

At the time of Butlers Djihad, the Waldplanet Rossak is the home of Rossak’s magicians, who learn their mental destruction forces used in the fight against Omnius. Rossak is also home to Norma Cenva and Aurelius Venport. Rossak is a source of countless poisons and drugs. Because of this, it is also Venport, which is the first to see the potential of the spice as a merchandise, even if it is far from suspecting what he gives the universe. The population on Rossak always stays almost the same, because firstly many children are born dead or crippled due to environmental toxins (however, 9 failed births are given a sorceress) and secondly the planet is only habitable in the oxygen-containing deep salaries, which are overgrown by the Rossak jungle are. The planet has extremely strong volcanic activities and is constantly being converted. He is no longer mentioned in the volumes that later play, it is unclear whether it is still inhabited.

Raquella Berto-Anirul, granddaughter of Vorian Areides, founded the sisterhood of Bene Gesserit on Rossak. Their genetic breeding program goes back to an idea of ​​Rossak’s magicians.

Salusa Secundus is the third planet of the star Gamma Waiping and the home planet of the house Butler/Corinno. At first he was the main world of the League of the noble and later of the empire. After Salusa Secundus had been radioactive by a fallen house and was increasingly desert -like, the government of the empire was moved to Kaitain and Salusa Secundus was transformed into a prison planet. The Sardaukar were later recruited from the prisoners.

Imperator Shaddam IV.

The capital of Salusa Secundus is Zimia. A famous export product of the planet is the Salusan bulls, a highly bred and aggressive cattle breed, which is used by various planets, including Caladan.

Tleilax, formerly Tlulax, is a planet in the Thalim system and home of the Bene Tleilax (later Tleilaxu). The residents of the planet are strictly religious and do not allow a visit, and if they do, visitors are strictly limited to the area around the room port. Tleilax was destroyed by the honored Matres, but Scytale, a master of Tleilaxu, was able to save himself, who implanted a capsule with the genetic code of all Tleilaxu in his chest. The planet is also the place of origin of the Gholas and the bred replacement organs. Before the success of their organ banks, the residents, who were still called Tlulaxa, slaughtered Zensunni and Zenschiiten as well as other settlers from marginalized people, which brought them to an outlaw of the league of the noble and the subsequent empire.

Wallach IX is originally a synchronized world that is devastated by the league of the noble. The mother school of the Bene Gesserit is located here thousands of years later.

The Randwelt Zanovar, in the early chronicles of fiefdom of the house Tagari, hoarded a not inconsiderable amount of spice at the time of Shaddam IV and was devastated as a punishment for this violation of the laws of the Imperator of Sardaukar troops, the entire population was killed (the actual The reason was Tyros Reffa, the half -brother of Shaddam and thus a theoretical competitor around the throne). In the legends, this world was zanable.
