Board Description
The year is 10191 A.G., and the known universe is in turmoil. House Atreides has recently taken over management of Arrakis, the source of the spice melange which makes possible efficient interstellar travel and binds together all human political and economic systems in the galaxy, only to be all but destroyed by the treachery of House Harkonnen and the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV. The prophetic spice trances of the Spacing Guild Navigators and the Reverend Mothers of the Bene Gesserit reveal many possible futures: domination of the Landsraad Council and the Lion Throne of the Imperium is a prize for any House Major cunning, bold, and lucky enough to seize it. All hangs in the balance and only one thing is certain...
THE SPICE MUST FLOW
Basics Bonuses Territories outlined with red accumulate 3 factory-style units per turn when you control all surrounding territories.
Control of an entire major planet plus spaceport awards an in-hand bonus as indicated: Kaitain +10, Giedi Prime +10, Caladan +12, Arrakis +20.
Combat and Troop Movement The Spacing Guild: Getting off planet requires control of a spaceport. Each spaceport autocaptures a spot on a Guild Heighliner transport. From there, you may fortify to other Guild transport slots on the same Heighliner or attack the surface of a planet on that particular Guild route.Attacking from space: red outlined territories defend at +2, blue outlined territories at +1, spaceports at +0. The four minor planets each defend at +2.Attacking from ground: red outlined territories defend at +1 from blue tyerritories and at +0 from other red territories, blue outlined territories defend at +0, spaceports defend at +2.SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES ARRAKIS - DUNE - DESERT PLANET On Arrakis, normal rules apply for bonuses EXCEPT the desert (blue outlined) territories each provide an in-hand bonus of +2 for spice production. However, the harsh conditions and ever present sandworms result in a factory penalty of -1 to -2 on each desert territory.Also be aware that the three spaceports of Arrakis each autocapture all Arrakis-bound Heighliner slots. So don't leave your armies idle in orbit, otherwise the next guy to come along with a hefty spice bribe could win their loyalty.MINOR PLANETS IX The machine-masters of IX furnish your army with hunter-destroyer probes and other advanced weaponry. +1 artillery attack from Vernius to any spaceport. Cybernetic enhancements for Ixian troops: +1 factory bonus on Vernius with control of planet and spaceport.
TLEILAX Tleilaxu clonemasters provide ghola tanks to each of your worlds. +2 factory bonus on each spaceport you control.
WALLACH IX The Bene Gesserit have spies (almost) everywhere. View all spaceports and all territories, except for Guild Heighliners and the desert planet.Prana-bindu training, the weirding way: +3 factory bonus on Wallachia with control of planet and spaceport.
SALUSA SECUNDUS The Imperial Sardaukar - the shock troops of the Padishah Emperor. Attack from any Salusa Secundus Heighliner slot with no defense penalties. Sardaukar Training Center (Salusa Secundus Spaceport) defends at +2 against spaceborne assault.Sardaukar Training: +2 factory on Sardaukar Training Facility with control of planet and spaceport.
