Arrakis?

[Bruce Warren]

I noticed in the map that there's a system called Arrakis.

Is this just a coincidence or is it the Arrakis with Sandworms, Spice etc?

It would be interesting if however the third planet of Canopus happened to be a desert type planet called Arrakis.

Must be I guess. Oh well no spice for me

And, the system should definitely belong to the empire..

That would be a great easteregg.

Sell 36 tonnes of water for Cr 36,000,000,000
Buy 36 tonnes of Melange for Cr 36,000,000
Get shot to bits by police vipers while trying to get the stuff into Aulin Enterprise. Didn't you know Spice is contraband?

Under Leto II, pretty much any space travel is prohibitively expensive anyway

Hopefully the Sardaukar is in place, to deal with anyone trying to not let the spice flow.

Would that come under "Animal Meat"?

I believe that if you checked the starmap in premium beta that the canopus system is outside the sphere of human civilization, but still registers a large population.


Could be Fremen....

Natives already deployed, so they can provide cheap labour you say?

Spoiler

It is, indeed, a populated system, but also seems to be the only one for at least 100 LY. So I think there might be something... spicey Also ECONOMY: EXTRACTION
