Behold the planet Arrakis, known as Dune - land of sand and home of the spice melange. The spice controls the empire - whoever controls Dune controls the spice.
The emperor has proposed a challenge, the house that produces the most spice will control Dune. There are no territories... And no rules of engagement.
Vast armies have arrived. Now three houses fight for control of Dune - the noble Artreides, the insidious Ordos and the evil Harkonen...
Only one house will prevail.
Your battle for Arrakis begins now...
