Emperor Harkonnen Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I think richese is a house. though I think Ix should be governed by House Ix and not house Vernius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 hmm, I personally think it is irrelavent what the name is, the "house" doesnt exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ BV Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 IIRC Frank Herbert says in GeoD that Ix is a confederacy of citystates. I think that if BH & KJA just would have let the House Vernius die, it would make more sense (after the ending of Vernius rule, Ix would have become said confederacy).

Inoculator9 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I would think more that it's a confederacy of "production districts" or even corporations operating throughout the Imperium. This sort of idea would suggest a very far flung group, that is mostly headquartered on Ix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably what they had in mind. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Funny thing. I enjoyed the scenes on IX the most out of the House Prequels, especially the gorilla warfare thing they had going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 If the suboids were not created by FH, why there are suboids in Emperor?E:B4D have the rights of the DL movie, not the books, and there`s no suboids in DL dune.The suboids could be humans captured by Ix with brain implants? Or maybe Ix buy the suboids from a small genetic house? Or androids disguised as humans, to avoid problems with the BJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I don't think that they are androids, as if they were the Ixians would not have the problem of the suboid rebellion in the prequels. When are the suboids in emperor, BTW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 There are no tanks, and no House ordos in the DL movie, either. WestWood had rights to use David Lynch's view of the Dune universe (i.e wardrobes, set styles, etc), but they also used their own imagination, and probably adopted the whole Suboid idea from the prequels.

Procyon Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 In Emperor the suboids also had a rebellion.Why can`t the disguised androids have a rebellion?(Bluterian Jihad, Matrix, Terminator...)Westwood took the idea of the IX, Tleilaxu, Suboids, the real ornithopters wings from the other Dune novels and prequels (Ordos from DE) , because these things were not in DL Dune.

Inoculator9 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 [quote author=Khan When are the suboids in emperor, BTW?The Suboids are mentioned as having teamed up with the Tleilaxu and rebelled against their Ixian masters. You than destroy them, ally with Ix and p-off the Tleilaxu. They don't play a major part in Emp, by any stretch of the imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
