Additional Info » Welcome commander. This week while exploring the deserts of Arrakis, Spotter 02 on Carryall 017 found a spice patch worth millions of Solaris. The dune men believe that this huge, untouched spice patch to be the biggest strike they have seen in years in the open desert. The newly discovered spice lies within The Great Flats region in an area the Fremen call The Tears of Shai-Hulud. The name comes from the strange, tear like rock formations north and south of your base camp. It is believed by the indigenous peoples of Arrakis that Shai-Hulud formed the tears as a symbol for the suffering and hardships that the Freman have endured over the millennia. They consider the rocks a Karama, a miracle. However the rocks were formed, your main mission is to protect the region for spice mining. It is certain that the enemy knows of this find, so be on the watch for them. Engineers have prepared your base camp and set up a bridge system to for you to get around easier. Good luck commander and remember, the spice must flow.
