TMA_1 Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 You noticed that in the Dune books by frank herbert that he doesnt mention kaitain a lot? Why is that do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Didnt' notice. It is mentioned in the origional books. But as Paul used Dune as his kapittal Planet Kaitain got, well lost. The importance of Kaitain isn't that great, and because not a lot of things are happening there it's not mentioned.In the New Dune books the live of Shaddam is a primairy story line in the books. So that's why it's mentioned a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted April 18, 2002 Author Share Posted April 18, 2002 err I kind of disagree with you on certain things you said but see what you are saying:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Feel free to tell my on what you disagree or have other views of. I could be wrong you know ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted April 18, 2002 Author Share Posted April 18, 2002 It isnt mentioned in the original novel Dune by frank herbert. it is mentioned but not much at all. The Hub of the landsdraad is focused there and this is all before paul became the messiah of the fremen. It wasnt mentioned much is all and I wonder why.

Nefud Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 The plot against House Atreides was created there...Is this enough? Â ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 As TMA said, it was never referred to by name in the original novels (IIRC, they called it "the Imperial Homeworld" a few times). Â I think the Lynch movie was the first to give it a name, since it had no real part in the novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander_Ordos Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 it wasn't mentioned alot because FH wrote only about the events focused around Paul and Paul never visited Kaitan ;) So since the Empire's capital was moved to Dune, Kaitan wasn't important at all, but I just wonder what hapened to it? Was it captured by some other House? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted April 23, 2002 Author Share Posted April 23, 2002 lol alexander you know better then that. The book just didnt focus on paul. The story was very deep and had to do with imperial politics. Thats why it is very important. Without the empire paul would have a lot easier time taking over the known universe.

Nefud Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Alex: it wasn't captured by anyone else. It was still House Corrino's I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander_Ordos Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 But weren't Corrinos isolated in Salusa Secundus?TMA I know Dune is very deep considering politics and other important things but Frank never mentioned Kaitan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 When Paul became emperor Corrino lived on Salusa. This was their family planet after they became ruler house so when they werent anymore, they had to back there. And Frank Herbert didn`t mentioned about emperor planet. All scene with emperor Shaddam was on Arrakis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
