Who What Where?

sand chigger, n. The desert mite of Arrakis (Trombicula arrakensis), an adapted variety of the Terran harvest mite, hated by many for the irritation it causes. Reportedly known as the "Stillsuit Shaitan" by some Fremen.

Motivation

I am primarily interested in any and all articles here on Wikipedia pertaining to the novel Dune and its sequels and prequels.

Caveat

I am an alternative account, but not a sock-puppet!

Feathers in my cap

I have finally been banned from the Dune Novels BBS!

(They ignore or provide inane answers to real questions, do not allow any overt criticism on their site and get pissy when you do it elsewhere.)

So I now post at FED2k!

[edit] Things to do

• Dune (novel)
  • Archive some of the Talk:Dune (novel) stuff?
  • Combine and pare down the two synopses, per addition of the {{plot}} tag by DragonHawk?
• Battle of Corrin
  • Currently too Prequel-biased. Needs to be pointed out that in the originals the Jihad had been over for 20 years or so.
