DukeLeto Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 I' a little confused...Are the Sardaukar specifically loyal to House Corrino, or do they simply support whoever the current Emporer appens to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Well the Imperial Sardaukar are supposed to be loyal to the 'Emperor' of the Known Universe, so I guess that would make them loyal to 'whoever happens to be the Emperor' at the current time. That's assuming that there is actually an Emperor to serve. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Between battle of Corrin, when Sardaukars firstly appeared and era of Muad'Dib ruled only Corrino House. They served Padishah Emperor, who was always Corrino. According to Children of Dune, they remained loyal only to House Corrino. Muad'Dib was guarded by more numerous and powerful Fremen warriors, Leto II built his own Fish Speakers army. So Sardaukars were Corrino's, not imperial.

Colonel_Worf Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 The Sardaukar went and protected whatever the Emperor wanted them to protect, and fought with the Harkonnens, if you remember. But they were eventually weeded out and the Fremen and then Fish Speakers replaced their role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 That Emperor was always Corrino. In Children they followed Faradn Corrino, Shaddam's grandson, not ruling regent Alia Atreides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 They did serve under Leto II for a while... before they betrayed him and Leto had them killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 When? What betrayal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Edit: spoiler[hide]I can't quote the book (I got it from the library) but the Sardaukars tried to assasinate Leto II. They failed, and Leto decided to get rid of them. As a replacement he got the fish speakers.[/hide] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caid Ivik Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 He told many reasons, why he composed his army from women, but there was no Sardaukar assassination. Or you mean [hide] attack of those tigers on lone Ghanima and Leto in Children of Dune [/hide] ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 [hide]No. I don't recall the part about the assasination myself, but I remember someone telling me about it. I'm not sure though.[/hide] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
