Vanguard3000 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 They do travel outside the known universe. It's called exploration. ;)Seriously though, the books make a few references to the Guild searching for more planets like Arrakis. In fact, I believe the prologue of House Atreides is a Guild report on that topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilexatrei Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I would think that you need money and troops to explore the outer borders of the Known Universe. This is because you never know what you might encounter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Did you guys know that the probe in Star Trek 4 was in fact a Guild Heighliner with radio fuzz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ BV Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I'm not too sure about foldspace travel not taking up any time; In the preludes, when Leto was accused of shooting at Tleilaxu ships, he turns on his shields. This stopped the navigator from navigating, and I believe the book said that they were somewhere in subspace, or at least that they fell out of subspace. If the travelling itself takes up no time, then it would be extremely unlikely that Leto put up his shields the exact millisecond the ship jumped.

TMA_1 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 actually, that probe was from an advanced race of aquatic creatures. The probe itself is one kind of them. It is suited for space and seeds life of it's kind on other planets. when their kind was destroyed, they were in rage over their loss.I read star trek books.lol :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrinlord Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 ya, that is true about Letos shields, but then again, I dont really think that the prequels got a lot of things right, so blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted September 6, 2003 Author Share Posted September 6, 2003 I didn't read House Atreides, so I dunno about that. but I don't think it should be either way DE or preludes tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
