The ancient Battle of Corrin—occurring 20 years after the end of the Butlerian Jihad—spawns the Padishah Emperors of House Corrino, who rule the known universe for millennia by controlling the Sardaukar, a brutally efficient military force. Ten thousand years later, Imperial power is balanced by the assembly of noble houses called the Landsraad, which enforces the Great Convention's ban on the use of atomics against human targets. Though the power of the Corrinos is unrivaled by any individual House, they are in constant competition with each other for political power and stakes in the omnipresent CHOAM company, a directorship that controls the wealth of the entire Empire. The third primary power in the universe is the Spacing Guild, which monopolizes interstellar travel and banking. Mutated Guild Navigators use the spice drug melange to successfully navigate " folded space" and safely guide enormous heighliner starships from planet to planet instantaneously. [13] [19] Herbert, Frank (1965). Dune. We've a three-point civilization: the Imperial Household balanced against the Federated Great Houses of the Landsraad, and between them, the Guild with its damnable monopoly on interstellar transport.

The Heroes of Dune series followed, focusing on the time periods between Frank Herbert's original novels. [45] [49] [50] [51] The first book, Paul of Dune, was published in 2008, [52] followed by The Winds of Dune [50] [53] in 2009. [54] The next two installments were to be called The Throne of Dune and Leto of Dune (possibly changing to The Golden Path of Dune), [55] but were postponed due to plans to publish a trilogy, Great Schools of Dune, about "the formation of the Bene Gesserit, the Mentats, the Suk doctors, the Spacing Guild and the Navigators, as well as the solidifying of the Corrino Imperium." [56] Sisterhood of Dune was released in 2012, [56] followed by Mentats of Dune in 2014. In a 2009 interview, Anderson stated that the third and final novel would be titled The Swordmasters of Dune, [48] but by 2014 it had been renamed Navigators of Dune. [57] The novel was published on September 13, 2016. [58] A third Heroes of Dune novel, Princess of Dune, was released on October 3, 2023. [59]

Between the events of Dune and Dune Messiah, the name Muad'Dib becomes a battle cry on the lips of the Fremen army that sweeps across the universe in a jihad in the name of Muad'Dib's religion. [122] The population of the universe sees Muad'Dib as their god, whether they like it or not, and they cannot deny his power religiously. [123] The Fremen culture is irreparably damaged by jihad; the new religion takes shape of rituals that are dependent on Muad'Dib's omnipresence. [95] As Muad'Dib, Paul is the messiah and the Emperor (King of Kings) who gives himself to fate and becomes a martyr to his followers, wanders blinded into the desert to die, [95] later finding emancipation as a heretic of his own church as the Preacher. [124] The regency of Paul's sister Alia and the Qizarate priests continue to promote Muad'Dib's religion to help keep control of the universe, ensuring that others do not oppose them. [123] In his Golden Path, Herbert presents an argument of how to create a healthy society, avoiding despotism and hero worship, a trap in which social groups can be caught: Lynch, Tom; Glotfelty, Cheryll; Armbruster, Karla (2012).

[190] [191] Dune II is considered to be among the most influential video games of all time. [192]
