Information on Dune:
Judge of the Change (3 monthly installments)
First Expansion Set
Rolling Thunder Arc Series
"First light glints wanly off the dull metal of the newly arrived House
frigates. A drum corps pounds a cheerful cadence as the new governer and
his family emerge to regard Arrakis in the morning light. By mid-day the
fanfare reaches its crescendo, the vigor of its celebrations rivaling the
dizzying heat of the merciless Arrakeen sun. It is an historic moment on
Arrakis, the time of the new regime. . . a time of change and a time for
judgment."

Second Expansion Set
Rolling Thunder Arc Series
"The hot afternoon sun in decline beyond the Shield Wall, dust from
the fanfare settles into the desert twilight. The last of the Arrakeen
water
merchants can be heard crying "Soo soo suk!" just as the static-crackle
of dry thunder peals in the distance, confiding the passage of a nearby
storm. It is an hour of forboding, a time for vigilance. Who can predict
when the muted din of thunder will be replaced by the battering rapport
of
sudden gunfire?"

Third Expansion Set
Rolling Thunder Arc Series
"Into the chill desert night flee steams of refugees, given small kindness
by the rising second moon as it affords its pale and shadowy light.
Arrakeen burns, and all of Dune seems afire. A surprise assault has
uprooted the former regime, casting its supporters into the dark chasm
of
exile. The hunting horns are winded, and the wardogs race to the scent.
It is a night of peril and a time for awakening. The Sleeper must Awaken!"

the planet from his family's rule.

Information on Dune: Fall of the Padishah (3 monthly

Fourth Expansion Set
End of First Book
"Rumors are abound in the Imperium. Findings show annual spice production
has fallen far short of quota. Detractors say the people of Arrakeen
are fearful, perhaps on the verge of revolt. Voices whisper that a
new prophet has emerged among the desert Fremen. And insiders confide that
the Governor has been falsifying his reports to the Emperor. The Guild
has issued an ultimatum, and the Emperor is outraged. It is the close of
an
epoch, an end to the reign of the Padishah emperors. Long live the
Fighters!"
180 card set.
The setting of FOTP will occur when Paul Muad'Dib and his army of Fremen
rightfully took back the planet Dune (and the universe) from the Padishah
Emperor Shaddam IV, exiling the Emperor to a prison planet.
