	House Atreides - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emblem of House Atreides from Emperor: Battle for Dune
		In the original novels, House Atreides claims descent from Agamemnon, a son of Atreus, in Greek mythology.
		Vorian Atreides was the thirteenth son of the Titan Agamemnon, one of the twenty Titans who conquered the Old Empire, and was a Human Trustee in Omnius' Machine Empire.

		Secondly, the House Atreides is in a position where it could potentially undermine the fundamental source of Corrino power: The Corrinos' power base is their military strength, their specially trained army--the " Sardaukar "--who per soldier are five to ten times better fighters than the military forces of the other noble houses.
		Realizing that the Atreides are next to impregnable on the home planet Caladan, which they have ruled wisely and well for centuries, and thus have an incredibly loyal populace, the Emperor realizes the Atreides need to be lured away from this safety.
		When the Atreides take over Arrakis, they hope to befriend the Fremen, and recruit them into their service, and thus be able to defeat attacks by the Emperor's Sardaukar.

	Language and linguistics in Frank Herbert's Dune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At a dinner party on Arrakis, Jessica is able to discern a speaker's cultural origin and education by noticing their speaking cadence and pacing, rather than a specific regional accent.
		Bene Gesserit adepts are able to learn and comprehend new languages at a superhuman rate, by listening to snatches of conversation.
		Galach, the language of the Imperium, is said to be a hybrid, or more strictly speaking a creole, of Inglo-Slavic.

		The novel tells the story of young Paul Atreides, heir apparent to Duke Leto Atreides and scion of House Atreides, as he and his family relocate to the planet Arrakis, the universe's only source of the spice melange.
		Supplanting the Harkonnens, the Atreides are granted stewardship of the forbidding desert planet Arrakis, also known as "Dune," the only source of the nearly priceless spice melange that increases life expectancy threefold.
		Paul Atreides is referred to as Mahdi at one point in the novel and in later novels, particularly Dune Messiah.

	House Ordos - Dune Wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Emperor: Battle for Dune completes the character evolution of the Ordos; they are now so cold and emotionless in their drive for profitability, that they are not perceived as human beings by the other Houses.
		While the Atreides and Harkonnen both possess human emotions (love and hate, respectively), despite being the opposites of each other, the Ordos are empty.
		Like the Atreides world of Caladan, Draconis IV has been left mostly in its natural state, but it is as inhospitable as Giedi Prime.

		Instead, Shaddam uses a centuries-old feud between House Atreides and House Harkonnen as cover for his assault, enlisting the brilliant and power-hungry Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in a chance to eliminate his most hated rivals.
		While they anticipate a trap, the Atreides are unable to withstand a devastating Harkonnen attack, supported by Imperial Sardaukar dressed as Harkonnen troops and aided by a traitor within House Atreides itself.
		The Harkonnens manage to gain a spy in the Atreides inner household, and in doing so achieve something unique in Imperial history: they break the 'imperial conditioning' of a Suk doctor, which is believed to make a person incapable of consciously causing physical harm.

		The Chakobsa language was a secret language, invented using mirabhasa principles for use by the Bhotani Assassins of the first war of Assassins.
		The language itself is derived in part from the languages of the ancient Bhotani (the so-called Bhotani-jib), the first Imperial Assassins, as well as other obscure languages -- these elements being forged into a medium of speech, phonetically altered, designed to convey fine emotional subtleties -- the very principles of mirabhasa language.
		The language mirrored the culture of its speakers as a hunting force since the Assassins hunted continuously.

	Dune
		Bereft of any other significant economic interest, Arrakis is the sole source of the "spice" melange, the psychoactive drug that allows the navigators of the Spacing Guild to move their starships faster than light through a form of hyperspace and thus maintain the coherence of this unlikely pseudo-medieval interstellar cul- ture.
		Through a series of feats, rituals, initiations, and battles, young Paul becomes the leader of the Fremen, turns them into a People's Liberation Army, and eventually not only reclaims his rightful throne but becomes Emperor himself and a kind of God-King of this fictional universe.
		It is the melange for which the Atreides and the Harkonnens contend.

		If you have any other weapon out, and that weapon is able to be reloaded (meaning it uses clips, and you have clips available), then you will remove the clip currently in the weapon (along with any left over ammo), throw it out, and replace it with a fresh clip.
		Soon after the apparent defeat of House Atreides, it’s new Duke, Paul Atreides, establishes a formal union between the Fremen and the Atreides, with which he further unites the tribal Fremen people of Arrakis, and wages war against their common enemy, House Harkonnen, and eventually against the Imperial House Corrino itself.
		So while their soldiers may have a lower natural moral, and would probably run from a battle the outlook of was not favorable for their health, they do enjoy a large recruit base, and excellent equipment due to the financial clout and payment the military receives.

	Masculinity in Dune, Spartacus, and Lawrence of Arabia
		The Atreide and Harkonnen are also divided in the way that they treat animals: Rabban eats the raw flesh from a cow, whilst Gurney Halleck goes to the trouble of saving Leto's dog during the Harkonnen assault on Arrakis.
		Gurney is comfortable in his sexuality, and is able to oscillate between his masculine and feminine sides whenever the situation demands it.
		Perhaps we are not able to cope with the story of Paul Atreides, with its idea of the perfect equilibrium of the masculine and feminine within us, with the blurring of their attendent binary oppositions.

	The Landsraad
		Mother of Paul Atreides and grandmother of Leto II and Ghanima, Lady Jessica is the most important woman in Dune's lengthy history.
		More significantly, she instilled the need to be Hetaira into all her descendants: into Paul Atreides, who welcomed Chani as his "companion;" into Leto II and Ghaninia, twin Hetairae to each other; and most notably and tragically into Alia, whose Hetaira nature betrayed her to the Baron Harkonnen's seductive intrapersonal companionship.
		She endured alienation from her Sisters, her children and grandchildren, most of her Atreides associates, and all of Dune's common folk.

	Battle Language by Frank Herbert from Dune
		The Atreides are a noble family, ruling over entire planets for many generations.
		Special languages are common in times of war; they are called "codes." They were in common use in ancient times, although they may seem laughably simple today.
		The allies used American Indian Navajo language; this "battle language" was never broken.

		And since those people exist, we should also be able to agree that such people can -– even in the heart of people as civilized as the Germans -– ride to power and employ that hatred and reckless disregard for human happiness multiplied by a hundred million.
		It is they, not we, who dream of a clash of civilizations, with its promised sweeping away of the decadent and godless by the blood and faith of the Believer.
		The French nuclear carrier, the Charles de Gaulle, returned from her sea trials with a reactor room flooded with five times the allowable level of radiation and with one of her propellers at the bottom of the Atlantic.

		For the pre-born, the many-born Atreides, this remained the paramount reality, in itself another kind of birth: it was the absolute separation of living, breathing flesh when that flesh left the womb which had afflicted it with multiple awareness.
		"Alia is an Atreides, though, and that poses enormous problems." Ghanima fell silent before the sudden realization that Jessica still mourned her Duke as though his death had been but yesterday, that she would guard his name and memory against all threats.
		In a new attempt to win the inner battle, she tried to hold her entire awareness within Choda's admonition to the Zensunni: "Leaving the ladder, one may fall upward!" But morning's glow along the cliffs of the Shield Wall kept distracting her.

		On planet Arrakis (also known as Dune) where the spice is found, three groups are battling it out for control of the spice: the noble House Atreides (also known as the good guys), the evil House Harkonnen, and the mercenary House Ordos.
		All houses have infantry units, ranging from the Atreides Kindjal Infantry, which are very effective against armored vehicles, to the Ordos Saboteur, which detonates when it reaches its target.
		While the leaders of the Atreides and the Harkonnen are clearly male, it is unclear what sex the Ordos might be.

	Filmtracks: Children of Dune (Brian Tyler)
		He finished the score in such quick time that the Sci-Fi channel was able to use the centerpiece cue of his score in their television previews for the show, heightening expectations in potential audiences.
		A good example of this is the "Revolution" cue, which appears directly after the main titles on album, and gives you a good feeling of Alia's slow loss of reality and thus, her loss of control over her empire.
		Early in Leto's appearances, Tyler's House Atreides theme accompanies his character, but by the end of the film, as Leto has merged with the worms (doesn't this guy wear a shirt ever again?), he and Ganima are the product of that romantic between Paul (Atreides) and Chani (Fremen) and the theme thus becomes theirs.

		For Leto Atreides, grown complacent and comfortable as ruler of his House, it is a time of momentous choices: between love and honor, friendship and duty, safety and destiny.
		Houses Atreides deals with not only the turmoil of sheltering the heirs of House Vernius, but with matters of the heart-complicated by the introduction of the young Bene Gesserit named Jessica.
		While the Houses Atreides and Harkonnen are most definitely present, it's the activities of Shaddam IV, Emperor of the Known Universe-and equally importantly, his plots-that drive this book.

		The album is not in film order because the series takes a while to get moving and the overall play of the score as a listening experience is better with the action cues spaced out.
		The highlight of the score is "Inama Nushif", written in Herbert's Fremen language, which was made popular in the TV spots for the series.
		Much of the score consists of ethnic percussion, woodwinds, and vocals, but Tyler never lets it fade into the filler music that much of Revell's score ended up being, and some theme is never far away.
