Bringing your thread to a screeching halt, guaranteed.

Emperor Paul brooded. How could he avert the bloody galactic jihad that was to be waged in his name? Was there nothing that could be done to stop, or at least blunt, the carnage? His thoughts were interrupted by a rap at his door. "Stilgar, come in."

"Muad'ib there is an important decision to be made. The name for our peacekeeping force made up of all our finest warriors. Our commandos."

Commandos. thought Paul and the vision of the deaths- billions strong, that history would lay at his feet flashed through his mind, That won't do at all.

He had to change the name. To avert this terrible future, "How about... the Death Commandos?"

"Whoahahaha that's real good usul that will get the men really psyched up we're gonna glass like a billion loving worlds thanks." And Stilgar hustled out of the room.

Dune: Jews in space

Chapter 1


I was a pilot, and we were on the way to the planet of Arrakis. The air was very cold. The walls were made of transparent plastic, the walls of which were covered with metal screens. The ceiling was made of transparent plastic as well. It seemed like the entire surface was a screen. And in the center of the screen was a black disk with a golden face on it. The face was glowing, showing the interior of the starship. It had a huge nose with a few little black spots. I could see two little black figures on the bridge, looking out over the sea. One was looking at me, and the other was looking back at the screen. I think they were the two crew members who had been playing chess on the bridge, and were now staring out into space.

I knew that the ship was the one that I had seen, but there was no way of knowing what it was. I had to make a decision as to where I was going.

As we approached the planet, I turned and looked out the window. It was Arrakis, and it was a beautiful planet. I felt good about myself as I looked out at the horizon. This was where I was going to make my grand entrance.
A few moments later I heard a noise behind me. It was a large black figure that had appeared on the horizon. As it stopped, I saw that the figure was a woman dressed in a black bodysuit with a black mask. The hood was pulled down, so I could see her face and her eyes were large and glowing. I recognized her as the leader of the Fremen.
The figure started walking towards me and I backed away. The woman didn't seem to care and kept walking. She wasn't looking at me. She was staring straight ahead and ignoring me.
I continued walking back towards my group. "This woman is the leader of the Fremen," I said. "You guys will meet her and the Fremen at the water tower." I looked at my group. They all nodded.
"She will explain what's going on and we will make a plan to deal with her." I said. "I'll be back soon."

I found Sandworms of Dune in one of those free book libraries that get set up in parks and I’m about halfway through. So far it’s just “remember all the characters you liked from the previous six books? They’re all alive again!” I like that the chapters are short but I really hate Paulo.

Shields are a weird nexus of multiple plot threads. They stop guns AND attract worms AND blow up w/lasers AND can be beaten with knives...
And then, why is knife fighting so common? No one was running around medieval battlefields with miscellaneous knives. If anything the Sardaukar should present massed pike formations with a few sword-and-buckler dudes in the front.

Medieval warriors specifically carried thin bladed daggers to thrust through the armours' weak points.

There is no way that the reveal Brian and KJA wrote is what Herbert actually intended, and you are gonna be super dissapointed.

That was something that always bothered me about shields and large scale warfare. You would think you would put your elite dudes in Space Plate Armour as well as a shield. They should be able to make something that is proof against a knife being pushed through it for that matter. Space metal chain in the joints or whatever.

But then I am not quite sure what combat would look like. People with combat cordless angle iron grinders wrestling each other then trying to cut into armour?

Angle grinders would be too fast. Powered clamps perhaps? And gas. And lasgun mines or RC drones with lasguns.
