Was there a reason they didn't use guns on Dune besides dart guns? Dune's initial set dressing is full of contrivances to allow for swords being practical and widespread weapons. From the Guild using its magically-justified transportation monopoly to force Houses to keep violence discrete and efficient, to the force field/lasgun nuclear reaction. on Dune itself, there's the added catch that forcefields make the worms go apeshit, so outside the big capital city you can shoot tranq dart pistols and knifefight without being an awkward square roblox man. But if there's no forcefields stopping kinetic weapons out on the dunes, why didn't they just use old-fashioned slug throwing guns then? Would the noise also attract shai'hulud? I also like how at some point in books 4-5-6, they explain to Duncan that Leto II banned shields for a while, and then afterwards everyone agreed to not use them and use lasguns because swordfighting is dumb when you have guns.

Maybe because shields had rendered most guns so ineffective that they had largely vanished? If shield malfunction was relegated to Arrakis (assuming the rest of the galaxy somehow failed to present a similar environment that evoked failure) the urge to resurrect guns may not have been sufficient to upend the monopoly of Knifes ‘R Us.

This, though they do use Maula pistols on Dune, but the weather tends to ruin a lot of tech.

Every single person and organization is run by hyper-competent rainmen (except when they're not competent), who always correctly feng shui and color coordinate poo poo for maximum psychological impact, and every family has like 5 separate secret spoken and signed languages. Even the Fremen are shown to have some kind of plastic production facility for making various stuff. They can make some metal guns for killing smugglers or Fremen. It's like if every oil well emitted a energy field only allowing a special kind of gun to work near it. Every PMC would have a few of those babies.

You wouldn't dare say this in chakobsa, the secret battle language of the Atreides that everyone happens to recognize immediately as chakobsa, the secret battle language of the Atreides.

Oh, this was always weird: http://dune.wikia.com/wiki/Harum Like, okay, Leto II's internal hivemind is ruled by someone whose personality predominates over the rest, like with Alia and the Baron. But his is just some completely random Egyptian dude who has no relation to anything beyond being a harsh ruler, who I don't think is ever really mentioned besides once or twice?

Weird that Leto would make his inner peace with a guy like that when early on in the book he's talking a bunch of poo poo on the pharaohs and caesars for codifying tyranny.

Also, the wiki says that he is presumed to be Egyptian/Babylonian because he ruled for "three thousand of our years". That doesn't give us much to go on because we don't know how the human race at that point measures years. Certainly not Solar years.

Nessus posted:I think there's a universal year, though I also think it's slightly shorter than the current system? It's not so far off that you can't recognize some key dates in that timeline in Encyclopedia. Yeah, I think there's an Imperial Standard. It just makes me wonder when they say that the average person on a spice diet can live to be 200. What is that to us? Less? More? Maybe I'll ask KJA. He knows a lot about space and science, I hear.

Heretics of Dune posted:"Taraza was momentarily abashed. This was an imposition. Teg was still a regal figure, tall and with that large head topped by gray hair. He was, she knew, four SY short of three hundred. Granting that the Standard Year was some twenty hours less than the so-called primitive year, it was still an impressive age with experiences in Bene Gesserit service that demanded that she respect him."

Technically, and depending how much you're willing to believe in Japanese mythology, the Yamato dynasty is over 2,500. Long as they don't get abolished in the next half millennium they could make it.
