  Heighliner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heighliners jump from planet to planet, parking in planetary orbits because they are much too large to land.
Special laws govern the stay aboard a heighliner; among other things, heighliners are considered neutral territory and all acts of war aboard heighliners carry very stiff penalties.
During the events of the prequels, a Heighliner was expertly spacefolded into a cavern under Ix, crushing a rebel army.

 Guild Navigator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norma Cenva (the first Navigator and the creator of the Spacing Guild) at first used super-computers to Navigate space, but as the Butlerian Jihad did not allow for "thinking machines," she used spice to develop the prescient ability to see the Heighliner's path before the Heighliner actually flew.
In "Chapterhouse: Dune" references are made to a Guild Navigator meeting-hall on the planet Junction; it is stated that the hall is vast, in order to accommodate the very large tanks in which Navigators are obliged to live whilst on a planet's surface.
The size of the tanks is partly to prevent a sense of claustrophobia (elswhere in the Dune saga it is stated that Navigators spend most of their lives in space, presumably in the weightless environment of a Heighliner's control room) and partly because of their physical size.

Rhombur Vernius and Gurney Halleck were aboard the second Heighliner, and Rhombur utilized his cyborg enhancements to enter the spice-saturated chamber of the Guild Navigator and personally investigate the problem.

 Spice essence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Only in the spice trance can a spacing guild navigator plot the safest course through space-time.

 The Second Butlerian Jihad
He also made it perfectly clear that should the Inquisitor refuse, he would not only be observing bad form by not respecting the Guild's monopoly over space-travel in their sector, but also experiencing the regular risks of traveling through the warp.
Inquisitor Falster allowed the Guild heighliner to give him a tour of the Pharonic Empire, describing the Butlerian Jihad, the rise of the Padishah Imperium, Landsraad, CHOAM, the revolt of Arrakis, the ascention of Paul Muad'dib to the throne, and the birth and evolution of the God Emperor.
Where six heavily loaded heighliners had once gone, only two lightly burdened returned, the other four having been destroyed by warp storms, Daemons, or the Chaos Space Marines along with the legions they had transported.

 STAGE III CONCEPTS INC. Power cords.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
All other cable manufacturers are forced to use existing commercially made plugs, which normally require crimping for their connection with a wire.
HEIGHLINER does not have any of these limitations and is the first and only audio power cord in the world that uses a single, continuous piece of metal for the entire current path of each polarity, including its connectors.
There are no crimps, welds, solder or other joints in the entire current path, so the silver contacts that are visible on the inlet (AC plug) are the same two pieces of metal that form the electrical contacts on the outlet (IEC) plug.

More strikingly, a No-ship can be used to transport an adult Sandworm, with enough sand for it to survive in for the duration of the trip.
No-ships represent the fading of both the restrictions on computing devices in the Dune universe and the power of the Spacing Guild, whose navigators were previously the only beings capable of interstellar navigation in their Heighliner spacecraft.

The Guild probably had weapons anyways, in case some renegade Duke or Baron decided to end the monopoly over travel by capturing a heighliner or two.
Plus, like anyone else they probably have atomics(and since the Trade Federation is alien controlled, the Great Convention would allow their use...).
