Know then that the first great Spice war on the Planet Arrakis has ended.
The Emperor Corrino is dead, poisoned by his concubine, the Lady Elara.
Now a new war rages for the control of the Golden Lion throne.
A great civil war between the noble Houses of the Landsraad.
Only 3 Houses remain with the resources
and ability to seize control of the throne.
The noble Atreides.
The insidious Ordos.
The evil Harkonnen.
All 3 are evenly poised. All 3 are equally committed.
All 3 know that the key to victory lies on a vast, baron, waterless world.
Arrakis, home of the most precious substance in the known Universe.
The Spice Melange.
The Spice extends life, the Spice expands consciousness.
The Spice is vital to space travel.
A new war beings.
Each of the 3 Great Houses must attempt to gain the majority of
occupied territories on the planet.
Who controls Arrakis controls the Spice.
And who controls the Spice controls the Universe.
