A beginning is a very delicate time.
Know then that it is the year ten thousand and one ninety one
The known universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam the forth, my father.
In this time
the most precious substance in the universe is the Spice Melange
The Spice extends life
the Spice
expands consciousness
the Spice is vital to space travel
The Spacing Guild and its Navigators who the Spice has
mutated over four thousand years use the orange Spice gas
which gives them the ability to fold space
that is travel
to any part of the universe
without moving
Oh yes
I forgot to tell you
the Spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe
a desolate, dry planet with vast deserts
Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the Fremen
who have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah
who would lead them to true freedom
The planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune
