| | Abulard attempted to redeem Xavier's name with the help of his mentor, Vorian Atreides, who was good friends with Xavier and the only person who knew the truth. | | | Abulard changed his name to Harkonnen after learning that his grandfather, Xavier Harkonnen's reputation was sullied by Jihad propaganda and that he was in fact a hero. | | | Vorian disowned his protege, which triggered the beginning of the Atreides Harkonnen feud. |

| | The change of fief is a trap, though: shortly after committing themselves there, House Harkonnen and the Emperor invade (with the Emperor's sardaukar disguised as Harkonnen soldiers); the betrayal of the Duke by the family's doctor, Yueh[?], completes the plan, and House Atreides is destroyed in place. | | | This daughter is to be bred to Feyd Rautha[?], nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and heir to House Harkonnen, healing the generations old rift between House Atreides and House Harkonnen, and producing the Kwistaz Haderach[?] for the Bene Gesserit. | | | Born to the Bene Gesserit following the seduction of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen by a reverend mother, Jessica is raised to be married to the Duke Leto Atreides. |

| | 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. |

| | The only ones who could dream of it would be the Emperor himself, Vladimir's cousins Feyd-Rautha and "The Beast" Rabban, or his Mentat-Assassin, Piter de Vries. | | | As brutish inside as he appears on the surface, Baron Harkonnen is considered by most to be a blemish on the face of the universe, yet few would dare say so to his face and hope to survive. | | | Only a brilliantly distorted mind such as Piter's could satisfy the unique demands of the Harkonnens, and his expensive tastes and ego-maniacal lack of respect are tolerated only because of his usefulness to the House and the exorbitant cost to replace him. |

| | When stewardship of Arrakis is transferred by the Emperor from the Harkonnen Noble House to House Atreides, the Harkonnens don't want to give up their privilege and, through sabotage and treachery, they cast young Duke Paul Atreides out into the planet's harsh environment to die. | | | There he falls in with the Fremen, a tribe of desert dwellers who become the basis of the army with which he will reclaim what's rightfully his.(From Amazon.com) | | | Arrakis is the sole source of Melange, the "spice of spices." Melange is necessary for interstellar travel and grants psychic powers and longevity, so whoever controls it wields great influence. |
