In the books? They kick *** - the Sardaukar are described as a souped up hellish version of the Marines that everyone in the galaxy is afraid of
Yeah, until they get their asses kicked by a bunch of worm herders.

What gives? How can Nokia be so slow at releasing stuff?
INTEL is the only party working on anything you can download from www.meego.com.

Get it straight!

Which is why your name should have been fremen, not sardaukar. Or are you an evil loser?

I'm just yankin' your chain.

I believe the Sardaukar were instruments of the Emperor - for whatever purpose.

In the games, they sided with the player's enemy and had to go down. But if it was like an attack on the Emperor and you would be playing the Emperor, you sure would like to have them on your side

I can choose between o.img, 1.img and 2.img.

Thank you.
the thing you did was you extracted the raw file again ......you should not do that select the raw file and load it

to do that while browsing for files using win32 disk imager you should type *.*
now you will be able to select the raw file

From what I recall, the Sardaukar were mercenaries who were recruited from the strongest survivors of the prison planet.
It was an interesting utilization of the consequences of Darwin's theory: only the strongest survive.

The reason why the Fremen defeated the Sardaukar was because Arrakis was an even more hostile place than the prison planet and the people who survive there are more ferocious than anything else in the Dune universe.

So: Fremen > Sardaukar

And yeah the Sardaukar were feared... but that wasn't wholly because of what the emperor made them do. They were hardened criminals. That is the scary part imho: Hardened criminals and psycopaths being recruited into the army that is used to quell uprisings.

What fun! I never expected to pull out my geek card like this on t.m.o.

If only the Sardaukar would've accepted MeeGo as their leader.

GET BACK TO THE F**KING TOPIC.

Pretty please.
