Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 I heard: The Padisha Emperor of the Known UniverseSO what is really the known universe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 The universe that is known, explored. Where people do know the existence from... I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Yep, this is the most stupid answer I have given on this forum. But the "known univers" is the known univers. ;DIt has become bigger throughout the years [ in Dune ]. Don't know the boundriesof it, but in Herretics and Chapterhouse the number of planets in the known univers are given a couple of times.

Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 This is universe that Guild can travell. Where people know there are people too. Emperor is ruler of universe, but somewhere can be race that is not discover and is more skilled than Guild and Sardaukar both, so Emperor isn`t emperor of universe, though. So he is Emperor of only known universe. Its funny, there are millions of planet that they don`t really know who is eg Shaddam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 But can't the guild travel further? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I think the guild needs to know, when folding space, where they want to go to. The exact location. And if you didn't explored that. You can't come there by space folding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Not true. The navigators have prescience. They can see a bit into the future and can control the ship accordingly. THe thing is, after the spice was found there was no more need for exploration. They already knew many planets and there was no overpopulation to speak of therefore it is not needed. Look at the exploration in the americas. It wasnt to find new things and new lands but to gain riches. If there is nothing needed after that then there is no need to grow. Look at now with the space programs of the world. We only send sattilites and and no manned flights. this can be seen because we have more important things to tend to.

Timenn Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 But you always keep people who want to explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 That's true Timenn. There are always people who wants to conquer. And that's why someone went to Europe, Asia etc. (the humans came from africa) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 - God Emperor of Dune SPOILER -This is universe that Guild can travell.euh, nope. Remember the exident in House Corrino ? The known univers is simply the charted and explored univers.In the time of the God Emperor almost no one was allowed to travel anymore. But I think there are some clues that Leto II knew things beyond the known univers at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_pup Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Yes in corrino, the guild navigator takes the fake spice and, the ship gets lost in an unknow part of space... but does he not feel a negitive presence and is alarmed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 - HOUSE CORRINO SPOILER -Yep, he does. He says they have seen them, they noticed them and are getting closer. They have to go else it will be to late. But I don't think this great danger is described in a way. I ones had a discussion it could be the people who reterned in the scattering. When "our" scattering by Leto II begin the ru ninto those people. But this is highly without any ground. As far as I know that danger can be anything.

Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Please, guys, I didn`t read House Corrino yet! Spoiler! :PAnd Navigators of Guild going there where people are. They need to have something on the ships to transport, and they don`t have reasons (without lost incidents) to go there where space wasn`t explored. This is still unknown space, even if Guild is able to go wherever they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Than you mean they don't go there, but it is possible for them to go there. So the known univers is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Known universe is mapped part of universe, where the Guild knows, where are they flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Isn't that what I said ?"....It is where they DO [ mostly ] travel.";) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Known universe is the part actually in use, it's like if the Universe was Australia. The known universe is where people are, but there still is a lot of wasted space, not used, you can get to it, but nobody does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
