In the year 6041, |
00:03:11.705 - 00:03:14.936 |
before the reign of
the Padishah Emperors, |
00:03:15.442 - 00:03:18.570 |
the Universe was ruled
by thinking machines
with human minds.: |
00:03:18.778 - 00:03:22.874 |
computers and
conscious robots. |
00:03:23.116 - 00:03:25.482 |
The people deteriorated
into a state of apathy. |
00:03:26.453 - 00:03:29.616 |
Then they became
victims and slaves
of other men with machines. |
00:03:46.239 - 00:03:50.539 |
[people screaming] |
00:04:03.423 - 00:04:05.084 |
Finally came the Great Revolt, |
00:04:06.560 - 00:04:08.619 |
the religious crusade
against the machines. |
00:04:09.229 - 00:04:12.323 |
After the Great Revolt, |
00:04:19.573 - 00:04:21.564 |
human beings were forced
to develop their minds. |
00:04:21.641 - 00:04:24.508 |
Thus mental training schools
were established. |
00:04:25.845 - 00:04:28.780 |
These schools would change
the history of the Universe. |
00:04:30.116 - 00:04:33.574 |
Only two of these ancient
mental training schools
remain. |
00:04:35.789 - 00:04:39.555 |
One is
the Bene Gesserit school |
00:04:40.393 - 00:04:42.987 |
which was established
primarily for female students. |
00:04:43.330 - 00:04:46.231 |
The function of
the Bene Gesserit school |
00:04:47.033 - 00:04:49.194 |
is to carry on
a selective breeding program
among humans. |
00:04:49.269 - 00:04:52.864 |
Now, the other
existing school, |
00:04:57.844 - 00:05:00.369 |
The Spacing Guild,
or The Guild, |
00:05:00.614 - 00:05:03.378 |
