Led by cyborg-like officers, they go into battle with a strategic mentality and play for the odds. House Ordos is a bit more unorthodox than their warring brethren. These blood-drinking savages enjoy battles and chaos more than the actual victory they reign with widespread fear. On the other hand, House Harkonnen is run by a tyrannical baron that demands victory. The nobles function much like a normal army, giving commands for the side of good. The House Atreides loathes and fears the evil forces of the Harkonnen and wishes to form an alliance with the Fremen, strange sand-dwelling warriors that inhabit the bowels of the planet. Not only does each house desire control, they also have different reasons for entering the war. The three aforementioned forces include the noble House Atreides, the wicked House Harkonnen, and the enigmatic House Ordos. With all the bickering and fighting over Spice Melange, the Emperor has issued a challenge that basically states whoever controls the substance will control Arrakis.
The mysterious spice can only be found on the planet of Arrakis every race in the known universe lusts for its power. Throughout the planet of Arrakis (a desert-like planet riddled with dunes and sand), three military powers have engaged in a fierce war to control a most prized resource known as the Spice Melange.
