Dune: Desert Power

Dune: Desert Power is a total conversion mod for Stellaris set in the universe of Frank Herbert's Dune. Unlike other sci-fi universes, space warfare takes a back seat in Dune's narrative. The focus instead falls on humanity, politics, diplomacy, commerce, and the factions that grapple for power. Dune: Desert Power recreates in Stellaris the very dynamics that draw Herbert's fans to his work through unique mechanics and narrative-driven gameplay. Every faction has its own unique origin story designed as a narrative campaign. However, the main focus is the Fremen origin: Desert Power. This campaign follows the Fremen rebellion through the battle for Arrakis, Paul Atreides' rise to power via the holy Jihad, and the political machinations that define Dune. This campaign is built upon these premises: What if the Emperor had never made planetfall on Arrakis? What if Paul's victory had not been so decisive? In this alternate timeline, no single power secures dominance over the Imperium. The Fremen revolt continues, the Great Houses realign, and the economic foundations of CHOAM and the Guild face unprecedented strain. You will fight the Emperor's Sardaukar and Great House legions for every planet through martial expertise, and battle the Guild, CHOAM, and the Sisterhood on the political and financial landscape. We are releasing the mod as ALPHA because we need feedback on content, pacing, mechanics, and modifiers. Your experience and input will guide the final stages of development from alpha through beta to 1. 0. Please expect a somewhat unbalanced game, some bugs and typos. You can report any bugs or feedback on our Discord channel Dune: Desert Power is an overhaul mod that enhances Stellaris with unique mechanics and content set in the Dune universe. The mod integrates into the base game rather than replacing it entirely, offering a distinctive experience centered on the Fremen origin Desert Power. 9 playable factions: Fremen/Atreides, House Corrino, House Harkonnen, Hous
