The Dune Universe Timeline EXPLAINED

the emperor has spoken house at trades shall immediately take control of arus and serve as its Steward do you accept welcome to watch Mojo and today we're explaining the universe of the Dune franchise including the most important events and factions we'll be focusing on the cannon of the original Dune novels written by Frank Herbert why did the emperor choose this path and who will our next oppressors be the butlerian Jihad open the pod bay doors hell I'm sorry Dave I'm afraid I can't do that a distinguishing feature of Dune is the absence of artificial intelligence there's a good reason for this a conflict known as the butlerian Jihad or great Revolt in the year 201 BG over 10,000 years before the events of the original Dune humans revolted against the god of machine logic wiping out thinking machines computers and conscious robots the war raged on for almost 100 years until the year 108 BG with humans emerging as the victors this massive conflict instilled a taboo around building complex computers and artificial intelligence Humanity has adhered to this with a religious cotry ever since in fact one of the best known prescripts from the orange Catholic Bible a fusion of religious thought produced after the butlerian Jihad commands quote Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind the machines are gone the war is over sir the war is over From the Ashes of this conflict many factions arose including the Empire that has ruled ever since the Corino Empire by the great of shadam four of house Corino ascendant to the golden line Throne of Pisha emperor of the known universe I stand before you as Herald of the change the Imperium or Corino Empire spans the entire galaxy although composed of countless planets and people power is still concentrated at the top the Imperial family is house Kino and the head of this house has ruled the Empire since the Battle of Corino in 88 BG during the Barian Jihad known as the pish Emperor he maintains power both militarily and politically house corino's military force is called the Sardar raised on the harsh Prison Planet saloa sakundes originally house corino's home World until they moved their Capital to kitan the Sardar are renowned for their utter ruthlessness and Effectiveness in combat just so the emperor isn't an ABS abolute power though since they must also balance themselves against the other major factions including the other great houses who are represented by a council called the lrad you know what the great houses fear most Dr KES exactly what has happened to us here and Sardar coming and picking them off one by one only together can they stand a chance against the Imperium luckily enough the two most prominent houses hate each other and have done for a long long time ancient enemies we are House of Tres there is no call we do not answer there is no faith that we betray House of Tres and housein and despise each other the origin of their Feud once again goes back to the time of the Barian Jihad after the battle of Corin an atraes had Abal Lord hekinan exiled for cowardice while the details vary depending on who you ask this event sparked a vendetta that has lasted Millennia for hundreds of years we've traded Blood for Blood but no more your son is dead your concubine is dead tonight the house of a trade is Falls and your bloodline ends forever killings and sabotage have gone back and forth between the houses until the present day currently house at traes has a reput ation for honor and integrity while the Harkin are Infamous for underhanded tactics and cruelty the great houses look to us for leadership and this threatens the emperor if only they could just settle things with a duel Shields L guns and atomics ah the slow blade penetrates the shield speaking of duels the Dune Universe has some interesting fighting tactics thanks to the use of energy Shields powered by Holtzman generators these defensive Shields produce a negative repelling effect they can be worn by an individual or projected across vehicles or large areas while they block High Velocity objects Shields can still be penetrated at slower speeds this leads to a peculiar fighting style in close combat that emphasizes slowing down to land killing blows I have you I but look down my Lord you'd have join me in death lasers or Las guns do exist but when they hit a shield the reaction is explosive there are also atomics or nuclear weapons but the great convention prohibits their use against humans with a punishment of planetary obliteration on the planet oracus Shields have a major disadvantage attracting sand worms why don't we just Shield the Crawlers Shield's a death sentence in the desert it attracts the worms and drives them into a Killing Frenzy but while the technology of Dune has advanced in some ways the lack of AI has led to incredible human specializations mentats how much will it cost them traveling all this way for this formality three Guild Navigators a total of 1.46 m62 Solaris round trip a remarkable example of this specialization is found in mentats complex calculations were once Child's Play for any thinking machine but with these being forbidden specialized training programs have been devised to produce people with superhuman recall and analytical abilities those trained in this manner are known as mentats through fear operations I secured a copy of the hawen his account books the hawen were taking 10 billion Solaris out of here every year that shall suck at the abundance of the Seas on the treasure hit in the sand a high energy liquid called safo juice amplifies their abilities and stains their lips a ruby red men hats are frequently employed by the great houses as AIDS or strategists they're also instructed to work within strict ethical guidelines though some have been known to twist mentats to their own views or morality or black thereof if the Duke's son lives now our traitors will live my Lord you gave your word to the Witch and she sees too much I said I would not harm them and I shall not but arais is arais and the desert takes the weak however while mentats are the most obvious replacements for machines their order is not the most famous or impactful to arise after the great Revolt the Benny jeser come here near even more important than the Advent of mentats is the Benny jeser order this Sisterhood of mental and physical training cloaked in ritual mysticism similarly emerged from the butlerian Jihad their dedicated conditioning of nerve and muscle has led to abilities that seem superum such as a form of movement known as the weirding way and control over others using just their voices why didn't you say you were a weirding woman and a fighter our conversation ran short by drinking the Water of Life the bile of a drowned sandworm Reverend mothers are able to unlock the genetic memory of their female ancestors members of the order are often seen as advisers but really act as power Brokers within the Imperium Ben Chester serve as powerful Partners to the great houses but there's more to it you steer the politics of the Imperium from the shadows in order to exploit various regions a Benny jeser arm known as missionaria protectiva sew superstitions and religious prophecies on other worlds they were pointing at us what are they shouting listen Al voice from the outer world it's their name for messiah that means the benzar have been at work here planting superstitions they've also enacted a centuries long selective breeding program with the aim of creating a super being known as the quizat hatar the quizat hatter quats hatar climb up rise the quat hatak would be a male Benny jeser with the same abilities able to command others verbally and possessing the same minute control of his own body give me water almost however unlike his female counterparts the quizat hatak would be able to view the memories of both his male and female ancestors additionally this supposed Messiah would see not only into the distant past but also the future using these mental Powers the quizat Tarak would be able to to bridge space and time for thousands of years we've been carefully Crossing blood lines to bring forth one a mind powerful enough to bridge space and time given the plot of Dune it would seem that he has arrived at last in the form of poit Tres it's coming I see a LLY War spreading across the universe like unquenchable fire a war your religion that waves you the Jes Banner in my father's name fanatical legance worshiping at The Shrine of my father's skull a war in my name but whether he can guide Humanity down a golden path or not remains to be seen after all he isn't the only one who can see the future the spacing Guild you are transparent I see many things I see plans within PL you may have wondered how humanity is able to travel the stars without complex Computing the answer is the spacing Guild and its Navigators by immersing themselves in high concentrations of a certain substance which we'll touch on next Guild Navigators can see a short way into the future this allows them to Pilot ships safely through space which the ships fold to Traverse vast distances making sure they don't reappear inside a star or something soon they'll begin to fold space far off in the control rooms of spice gas traveling without moving and because only the guild knows how to create their Navigators they have a total Monopoly on space travel it also makes the substance used by Navigators the most valuable in the universe the spice for the fan spice is the sacred hallucinogen which preserves life and brings enormous health benefits for the Imperium spice is used by the Navigators of the spacing Guild to find safe paths between the Stars better known as spice or the spice mange is the key to the pressence of The Navigators and thus to space travel however it's even more important than that while the narcotic has an addictive quality it extends a person's lifespan heavy doses can also allow some to expand their awareness such as in the Benny jeser viewing of their ancestral memories consume it enough and your eyes turn blue long exposure to spice has given the tribe their characteristic blue eyes the eyes of IAD mage's importance is further emphasized by its Rarity it can only be found on one planet in the galaxy oracus my planet oracus is so beautiful when the sun is [Music] low rolling over the Sands you can see Spice in the air the inhospitable nature of the world is legendary as are its most famous creatures sandworms I serve only one master his name is sh the sandworms of Dune are perhaps its most iconic feature save the dunes themselves these enormous monstrosities carve their way through the Sands of aracas they're attracted to rhythmic vibrations making travel on the ground incredibly difficult their huge Ms can devour even large Vehicles whole the maker and his water bless the coming and going of him may his passage cleanse the world and keep the world for his people tough to kill and even tougher to study the old man of the desert is one of the greatest mysteries of oracus particularly its relationship to mange which is bound up with the sandworm life cycle however the native population has adapted to live alongside them even harnessing their might for their own ends freman preferring to inhabit to the remotest regions of arachis the fans share the Deep desert with the giant sandworms known to the freman as Shai hulud plenty of people live in cities and towns all over oracus but when talking about the natives of Dune most people mean the freman descended from Zenni Wanderers followers of a religion fusing Sunni Islam and Zen Buddhism the freman live in large communal groups called sees unlike most of the known universe the most valuable substance to the fman is not spice which is everywhere on their world but rather water which is not they dream of changing that however hercus could have been a paradise the work had begun but then the spice was discovered suddenly no one wanted the desert to go away desert living and constant Waring against their Imperial occupiers especially the hinin has honed them into incredible Fighters their Mastery over the sandworms and by extension the spice has given a seemingly ragtag group of gorillas Galactic importance you've been fighting the hinin for decades but while the freman Vie to control the spice who controls the freman before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and
