quoudam72 Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 It is desert. Chinese Inner Mongolia. Suiyuan prov. south of the Hwang Ho. A big difference from the ice planet in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted May 12, 2001 Share Posted May 12, 2001 That's actually pretty interesting, I wonder if that is where WW got the name Ordos from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted May 13, 2001 Share Posted May 13, 2001 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 :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted May 13, 2001 Share Posted May 13, 2001 Where'd you find that out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted May 13, 2001 Share Posted May 13, 2001 "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 ImperiumI am considering taking up the Ordos/Fremen/Sardaukar combination now hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edric O Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 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! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 I haven't decided yet, but for me it is definitely between these 2 combinations:Ordos-Sardaukar-GuildAtreides-Sardaukar-Fremen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronrakkan Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 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 :).

cyclonus Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Ordos were only mentioned in two sentences is the novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Guerrilla Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 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.
