 | | But Piers was, after all, a Harkonnen, and he would not give up. |  | | Ulf's wife, Katarina, too gentle a soul to be worthy of the Harkonnen name, asserted that the quarrel had gone on long enough. |  | | Young Xavier Harkonnen bowed his head, but refused to cry. |

 | | For centuries, House Harkonnen has been the ancestral enemy of the Atreides, so the Emperor uses the Harkonnens in his attempt to bring the Atreides down. |  | | This forces the Emperor to act, and he comes to Arrakis with all his Sardaukar, and also levies of all the other noble houses, to annihilate the Fremen if necessary in order to get the spice flowing again. |  | | But they walk into the trap for two good reasons: 1) If they refuse this trap, they know future plots are inevitable, and with the Emperor's resources they would be very unlikely to escape them all. |

 | | The governors of Harkonnen territories use "every degradation of the spirit imaginable" (in the words of Duke Leto) in dealing with their populations, and their schemes always smack of treachery. |  | | Gurney's inkvine scar was given to him by Count Rabban, a relative of House Harkonnen. |  | | It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing Darkness. |

 | | So, the Emperor removes the Harkonnen clan from their holdings on the planet Arrakis, and gives the planet to the Atreides family, in order to gain Leto's trust and that of the other nobles. |  | | Duke Leto is beginning to become extremely popular with the other nobles, and the Emperor sees this as a threat to his power. |  | | It turns out that the Emperor only gave Leto and the Atreides family their holdings on Arrakis so he could have the Harkonnens take the planet back. |

| | Star Wars Origins - Frank Herbert's Dune |
 | | Dune was strongly influenced by Lawrence: Paul is the messianic man of two tribes leading the Jihad, the Beduins are the Fremen, the Harkonnens are the Turks, the Sardaukar are German Troops, and the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV represents both the German government and the British crown. |  | | Piter De Vries: May be based on American novelist Peter De Vries (1910-1993), who wrote clever things like, "It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us." "Piter" is the Russian version of the name "Peter," which literally means "a rock." |  | | He says that he was initially attracted to soldiering because of the all-male environment, and his desire to impress other men sexually is what ultimately motivated him to become a hero. |
