ordos is a region

[Guest sardaukar]

Did you know that there is a region in mongolia(I think)called ordos?

[naib]

Yes it's true I looked it up and it is true, it is in mongolia

with capitol : Hohhot

[quoudam72]

It is desert. Chinese Inner Mongolia. Suiyuan prov. south of the Hwang Ho. A big difference from the ice planet in the game.

That's actually pretty interesting, I wonder if that is where WW got the name Ordos from.

[garth]

Sigma Draconis (the Ordos homeworld) is the site of the Battle of Corrin :)

We Corrinos have more in common with the Ordos than you would normally think (for better or worse :))

[Mahdi]

Where'd you find that out?

[garth]

"Corrin, Battle of: the space battle from which the Imperial House Corrino took its name. The battle fought near Sigma Draconis in the year 88 B.G. settled the ascendancy of the ruling House from Salusa Secundus."

~Terminology of the Imperium

I am considering taking up the Ordos/Fremen/Sardaukar combination now hehe

[Mahdi]

Cool.

[Guest Fremen warrior]

bump

[Edric O]

I'm... baffled...

What if some ships crash landed on Sigma Draconis during the battle? That might be the origin of the Ordos!

Shaddam, welcome to our side! :)

[garth]

I haven't decided yet, but for me it is definitely between these 2 combinations:

Ordos-Sardaukar-Guild

Atreides-Sardaukar-Fremen

[baronrakkan]

Shaddam those are some pretty favorable combinations. Now if I had a choice I would go with the Ordos-Sardaukar and Guild. Since with the Ordos ( which I think is a more flexible house when it comes to sub-houses ) you can easily use very clever strategies with the Guild in combination. Now Atreides ( no flames please ) I feel is not going to be all that great. Espically when I wield the almighty hand of Harkonnen on their butts :).

Loki what the hell are you talking about?? you sound like ja ja binks

[cyclonus]

Ordos were only mentioned in two sentences is the novel.

[Digital Guerrilla]

No they weren't Cyclonus they're only written about in the Dune Ency. and nothing of them in the Herbert novels cause Herbert did not write the Dune Ency. some other author wrote it.
