	HOUSE HARKONNEN
		House Harkonnen is the most savage house in the universe.
		The Harkonnens have a long history of employing violence and fear to achieve their objectives.
		Status is not bestowed in House Harkonnen, it is taken.

	House Harkonnen
		House Harkonnen is, in many ways, the antithesis of all that House Atreides stands for.
		The Harkonnens' deep hatred for the Atreides stems from the fact that Bashar Abulurd Harkonnen was banished for treachery by an Atreides after the Battle of Corrin.
		When the political winds force House Corrino to side against the Atreides, the Baron is more than willing to spend his carefully guarded reserves of spice to pay for the passage of the legions of Sardaukar to Arrakis, as well as providing them with Harkonnen livery to hide the Padishah Emperor's part in the attack.

	HOUSE DESCRIPTIONS
		The Harkonnen nobles have never shown a reluctance to act decisively (for good or worse) against their enemies in the past, and few wish to be on the receiving end of Harkonnen "justice".
		House Wallach is one of the quieter and more methodical Houses within the Imperium, and their rise in the ranks of the House has been a result of careful planning and slow consolidation.
		House Ophelio has always been regarded as one of the leading Houses of the Imperium, and they have forged many connections with the Houses Minor (many of them are distantly related, thanks to the prodigious number of family and relatives).

		The House Harkonnen is built on a simple foundation of fear and terror, two tactics that make the Baron Harkonnen's underlings that much more dangerous: risk death on the battlefield or suffer a slow, excruciating death in the Baron's chambers as he watches with relish.
		Most of all, it's driven by a kanly (vendetta) against House Atreides, which the Harkonnen feel has taken what's rightly theirs: the whole planet of Arrakis and the spice Melange.
		House Harkonnen is ruled by a Siridar Baron.

	House Harkonnen
		But his leadership is further threatened by the ambitious Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, whose insatiable thirst for dominance leads him to plot against some of the most powerful forces in the Imperium, hoping to elevate his own ruthless House to unprecedented heights of power.
		The Sisterhood are unaware of this threat as they prepare to culminate the work of centuries in the creation of a god-child who will sweep away emperors, houses, and history itself in a terrifying new order of religious tyranny.
		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.

	Gourmet Food Shop >> House Harkonnen (Dune: House Trilogy, Book 2)
		I had feared "House Harkonnen" for the simple reason that I did not see how the Baron could possibly serve in a full-length setting for a story.
		Where this novel is most effective is outlining the breakdown of Imperium order, which sets the basis for the Atreides and Fremen conquest of the original series, and the origins of the Leto-Jessica romance.
		Enjoy House Harkonnen for the mission that the authors have sought to follow, and not some impossible standard that no one could achieve.

	Amazon.com: Dune House Harkonnen: Books: Brian Herbert,Kevin J Anderson
		House Harkonnen is a massive book, and there are places where it becomes plot heavy, but in following the story of Duke Leto Atreides and the conflicts with House Harkonnen, the authors succeed in spinning a gripping adventure while going off in some unexpected directions.
		In House Harkonnen, the conflict encompasses the tragedy of nuclear war, marked by grief and horror, vengeance and torment, and all while the complex intrigues continue to unfold.

		The devotion of Atreides' troops are matched by the House's formidable military, which boasts an exceptional air force of Ornithopters and respectable array of ground vehicles.
		The House Harkonnen is built on a simple foundation of fear and terror, two tactics that make the Baron Harkonnen's troops that much more dangerous: risk death on the battlefield, or suffer a slow, excruciating death in the Baron's chambers as he watches with relish.
		Loathed by many houses such as the Fremen and the Sardaukar for seeming effeminate and overly delicate, the Ix look down on most of their clients as little more than brutes and primitives.

		On the political level Dune is the tale of a political conflict between three noble houses--the House Atreides, the House Harkonnen and the House Corrino.
		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.
		The Harkonnens have managed to gain a spy in the Atreides inner household, and in doing so they achieve something unique in Imperium history: they have broken the 'imperial conditioning' of a Suk doctor, which is believed to make such a person incorruptible.

		Meanwhile, on Lankeviel, Vladimir's brother, and Rabban's father, is not being sufficiently evil, and is therefore an embarrassment to House Harkonnen.

	Vladimir Harkonnen - Dune Wiki
		Vladimir Harkonnen is the direct-line male descendant of the Bashar Abulurd Harkonnen who was banished for cowardice after the Battle of Corrin.
		The return of House Harkonnen to power generally is ascribed to adroit manipulation of the whale fur market and later consolidation with melange wealth from Arrakis.
		According to the Prelude books he was, at first, a good-looking, muscular man. However, when trying to rape Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, he was infected by a disease which caused him to become so fat that he eventually had to be carried around by a suspensor belt at all times to move.

		In fact, the House Troopers gained such a reputation in the time before the move to Arrakis, that it was said their fighting level approached within a hairs width of that of the Imperial Sardaukar.
		As a result, the Harkonnen war machine is in frequent use, and their troops generally receive a fair amount of training (usually consisting of the killing of bystanding citizens, arbitrarily attributed to the resisting Houses).
		Lastly, the alliance with House Corrino (and ammunition, equipment and transportation costs completely covered by House Harkonnen’s coffers) has allowed House Harkonnen to enjoy the benefit of a token amount of Sardaukar reinforcements in their infantry corps, since the movement of House Atreides to Arrakis.

		Harkonnen does provide some interesting back story on several characters, but falls short, in this reader's opinion, when it comes to providing true insight into character development and motivation.
