Strange spaceships on cinematics

[Procyon]

What are those 2 space craft that start shooting at a Guild Heighliner, and one got destroyed, in the intro?

What is that huge ship that appear in before the mission of the Emperor Worm and in the installation of the game, that transport your troops to Arrakis, because the Guild don`t  want to transport them?

[Procyon]

I don`t know are they. Why these two fighters start shooting a heighliner?

Creo que son Ornithopters ... bueno parecen.... tal vez no lo sea, recordais que estan relatando la historia, y eso ocurrio antes...

Sea lo que sea son de house atreides en mi opinion

I can't recognise those space ships. Probably nothing special, I can't remember them mentioned somewhere else. They are not frigates, which are for troop transports, perhaps it are just Space Fighters or something like that.

And if you mean that it were Ornithopters, Kindjal, (Speak English!) then no, since those vehicles can't fly in space, no air so no lifting.

What wonders me more is why they attack a Heighliner. Attacking the Guild is really stupid, since you will exclude yourself for any travel through space.

And that big ship is a big Smuggler's ship, which can apparently travel through space as well, in the same way the Heighliner can.

rough translation of kindjal's post:

"I believe perhaps that they are Ornithopters...it seems....or maybe they are from a different story that occured before...

Be that as it may it is from house atreides in my opinion"

if that's not exactly what you said kindjal...i'm sorry...but it should be basically what he said...lol 8)

Yeah, you do that. Nah, sorry, im only joking with ya.

I dunno man, but it keeps me up at night... it freaks me out.. ;)

But realy, i think it doesn't make sense at all. Noone would be so stupid to attack the guild, and i never read about space duels in any of the Dune books.

If you ask me, they (westwood)just thought it would look nice to see a bit of space fighting in the intro.

This is the exact translation:

"I think that are Ornithopters...it seems... maybe not, remember that is telling the history, and that happened before...

No matter what they are, they are of house Atreides in my opinion."

I know that exact translation, because I speak Spanish not English in my country. That`s why kindjal answered me in Spanish.

How can a smuggler ship also travel in space as a Heighliner? That ship also has a navigator?

Maybe those two ships are smugglers?
