hehe, glad you found it though. I am really thankful for taking my friend's dune prime site and encorperating it into his. saved a wonderful stash of info about jodorowksy's dune.

Well, don't make me feel like a newbie :-[ .

I have some questions: why did he post those fictional data about the planets? I mean, there weren't 7 BILION Atreides on Caladan.

Anyway, a great site.

[TMA_1]

the prequels state that there are 7 billion somewhere in house atreides.

[Davidu]

Really? And 7 billion Atreides can be defeated that easy? I doubt it!

[Acriku]

Only the royalty of Atreides house went to Arrakis though?

[Inoculator9]

Went to Arrakis you mean. The Atreides probably had several other planets, and even without, we don't know how large Caladan is. 7 billion Atreides citizens isn't a big surprise. If there are that many Atreides, there probably were 2 or 3 times as many Harkonnen.

I don't agree with the 7 billion Caladanians thing. I always thought of Caladan as having a bit less land mass as Earth (perhaps %20 or so), and it's inhabitants as being concentrated mainly in smaller fishing, farming, or single-resource towns. Of course, there would be a couple of cities (i.e the capital, and a starport city).

[TMA_1]

agreed vanguard. I was just saying what the prequels said.

[Davidu]

But the prequels might state somthing that Frank Herbert wouldn't agree.

I mean, you remember what army the bene gesserit lost before they could "ressurect" Bashar Teg's mind: 2 million soldiers. And thet was considered a BIG army. And the Sardaukar-Harkonnen landing on Arrakis didn't seem to be more than 2-5 million strong.
