Foreword

The following is not for Dune purists. If you are a traditionalist, and dislike to see the works of Frank Herbert altered in any way, then, please do not flame this fic ! Although this piece of fiction is based more on the game than the book, certain elements from the book will be implemented here. Again, if you do not like to see the Dune universe changed and made different, skip this whole thing. I repeat: please do not flame this fic.

Also, this fic will be the first in a series of large crossovers I have always dreamt and imagined about. This fiction is less of an Invader Zim/ Command & Conquer/ Emperor: Battle For Dune/ Starcraft / Star Wars fic. Rather, it is more of a composite of crossovers, placed together under a similar situation, and each placed under a suitable faction. The reason I did this was the same way Frank Herbert alluded the factions of his book to the real world factions, as in how Harkonnen paralled China, how America was like Atreides, and how we can see the Fremen in the Middle East. However, Frank Herbert's times, when he wrote the first book, is gone: now, the Fremen are hostile to Atreides, and a different Harkonnen exists.

Admittedly, while some things in this fic will mirror the current real world situation, other things won't (so, don't expect a lot).

Anyway, legal acknowledgements: Emperor: Battle For Dune was made by Westwood Studios, and was based on the original Dune motion picture, by the director Dino De Laurentitis , which was based on the original novel, by the great science fiction writer, Frank Herbert.
