Just wipe with a handful of sand, it's course and gets everywhere to get even the toughest messes out

do Fremen get the runs because they have to contain all of that. Many a Naib knows the responsibility of collecting Midnight Oil

Imagine having bad diarrhea and your thigh pads are working overtime and you pull on your water tube and the water starts to taste... different... mid sip. Not bad, not lovely, just noticable.

The Fremen only had free reign to do galactic jihad because they had the spacing guild by the short and curlies right? They were good at knife fighting and riding giant worms around but I never really understood how that tracked to galactic conquest. But then thinkin bout how they could now boss around the guys who controlled all interstellar travel it makes more sense.

Presumably there was a fair bit of conversion (of the “or die” variety and otherwise) that bolstered their numbers and built up a good old fashioned steamroller.

They were good at knife fighting and riding giant worms around but I never really understood how that tracked to galactic conquest. Partly that and partly the fact that many elements of the setting (shields, technological stagnation, bans on computers and ATOMICS) are designed to make infantry battles the pinnacle of warfare, and Fremen are the best infantry fighters. There's some talk about how control of CHOAM and the guild gives Paul additional levers of power, but the main use for the guild seems to be dropping boatloads of death commandos on a planet to personally stab to death every enemy of the imperium. You'd think they could just drop asteroids on major industrial centers until a planet surrenders, but that's not really the kind of sci-fi that Dune is aiming for.

Reminder that Shaddam IV was fairly conniving but it wasn't until failson came along that he filled the backstory up with Shaddam poisoning his father Elrood (just take Elrond and like...move one letter up), murdering his older brother, then secretly giving his mom The Pill every month so she won't conceive a rival. Just lmao

kiimo posted:Elrood (just take Elrond and like...move one letter up) I think it's a real name, or at least derived from one. And yeah, I don't think Paul needed sandworms for the conquest of other worlds. He was free to use as much destruction as he wanted, although in the books it mostly seems to be his Fremen landing on worlds and going for the jugular. The Naib that Scytale talks to relates the story of how they conquered an aquatic world and how they were mesmerized when they saw the sea.

They did get extremely overpowered lasers and cool decoys towards the end though. Make do with the maker hooks we've got, I guess.
