Talk:Padishah Emperor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Who was first emperor?
What Bulls#%* here about Faykan Butler? The Butlers (relatives from Jeanne Butler) never had anything to do with the imperial throne. The first emperor was Sheuset I. from salusa secundus who defeated the united Landsraad forces in the battle of Corrin. He did so using the superior infantry fighting force of his Sardaukar using a tactical concept of overhelming the crew of enemy ships in a melee rather than space fight between ships. Source: The Dune encyclopedia Note: The Dune Encyclopedia is canon because it was authorized by Frank Herbert himself when he was still alive. The works of Brian herbert and his Co-authors are not canon for any real Dune fan.
- Frank Herbert's authorisation doesn't make it canon - the later books contradict a lot of it. Read the article on the Encyclopedia. David 18:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Landsraad date
The Landsraad was in existence for 2,000 years prior to the Jihad. Obviously someone didn't read the appendices of Dune. --SandChigger (talk) 15:54, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
