	House Harkonnen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Abulurd Harkonnen had refused an order from his superior Vorian Atreides to kill a multitude of humans enslaved by the thinking machines.
		The Harkonnen homeworld at this time is an industrial wasteland with a low photosynthetic potential, called Giedi Prime, whose once rich natural resources have been wrung dry by the House.
		Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is later killed by Alia Atreides, and his heir Feyd-Rautha is killed shortly thereafter by Paul Atreides, effectively crippling the House; during the reign of the God Emperor, the House dwindled and died, after a disastrous venture which sunk all their remaining fortunes into a no-globe.

	Bene Gesserit - Dune Wiki
		In the novel Dune, the Bene Gesserit breeding scheme was, in theory, to have come to full fruition from the union of an Atreides daughter (born of the Lady Jessica and the Duke Leto Atreides) and the Na-Baron Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (son of Abulurd Harkonnen, brother of the Siridar-Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.
		Interestingly, the personality that eventually took control of Alia was that of the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, a memory that was able to surface due to her place in the Bene Gesserit breeding scheme.
		(An Atreides daughter (born of the Lady Jessica and the Duke Leto Atreides) was to have bred with the Na-Baron Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (Son of Abulurd Harkonnen, brother of the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen) with a high probability for producing from this union the Bene Gesserit totality: the Kwisatz Haderach.

		A prominent example of this disparity is the explanation of the how the feud between House Harkonnen and House Atreides began.
		The prequels suggest that Vorian Atreides shamed House Harkonnen because Abulurd Harkonnen refused an order to kill humans that had been enslaved by thinking machines.
		The Dune Encyclopaedia takes an entirely different tack: Abulurd Harkonnen, a Colonel Bashar in the Sardaukar, hid his forces in a rearguard position during the Battle of Corrin awaiting its outcome rather than coming to the aid of Emperor Sheuset I. The battle was only saved by the timely and brave actions of Demetrios Atreides.

		In the original Dune he hates the Harkonnens because his sister was in their slaves pits and because they killed his family.
		I understand the Harkonnens are violent, and that the Dune 'universe' is not a happy place, but the depiction of the death of Gurney's sister, for example, was just outright sick, disgusting, demeaning, and moreover it was inappropriate for this series.
		Vladimir Harkonnen is suffering from the effects of the disease given to him by the Bene Gesserit and is plotting against the Bene Gesseritt, the Emporer, as well as House Atreides.

		Salon -- Harkonnen Embassy (Kaitain) Dark wood panelling and a low, beamed ceiling impart a close feel to this long chamber, but the mood is lightened by well-placed freefloating suspensor lamps and the small indoor fountain that bubbles in the center of the room.
		The fountain is a six foot column of greenish water splashing freely in a broad metaglass basin with a wide, bench-like rim.
		Not all great Houses are as...ahem...understanding as the Harkonnen's are about such things so one must keep up appearances." If Arra notices any of the reactions, she is too well trained to let on.

		However, upon the death of the Baron's father, Dmitri Harkonnen, the old Emperor had, through some mental deficiency, granted the seat of power to the softhearted Abulurd, who had managed to decimate spice production in a mere seven years.
		After Abulurd's years of bumbling, if the Baron accomplished even half of what he was capable of, CHOAM and the Imperium would see a vast improvement.
		Since House Harkonnen held the planetary governorship of Arrakis, and therefore controlled all spice production, the Baron had no wish to see a substitute developed, or any other source found.
