Ordos in Dune.

[flybyjack76ers1]

I am aware that many of the dune games out there do have the Ordos in them. but this is baffling to me because they fail to appear in the books. where did the editors for these games get the idea to put the ordos in, instead of other important houses such as Ecaz and Richese. Are the ordos just a product of gaming editors or do they have a significance to the story, if so explain. Thank you.

Westwood has a licence to produce dune games based upon the movies (miniseries)

Ok, thats great. so your saying that the ordos were in the movie? Why was that then.

There was already another thread on this subject.

Ordos is in the books, with little information letting westwood studios think of all kinds of strange units like the deviator or the lasertank.

2)WW had a licence to produce games made about the Lynch film

so when are the ordos mentioned in this movie and how are they listed in the dune encyclo. if they were never mentioned in the books. the 2 books have different authors.

I dont recall ordos being in the movie or miniseries or books. in fact i am quite certain they are not in the books and miniseries. maybe the movie as i have not seen it in a while but I doubt that too.

Also would someone please sticky one of the good ordos threads to answer peoples questions about it.

There is a section in the Any Dune questions thread.

If you need anymore info i can add it for you
