Dune 2000: Ordos Victory - The Gom Jabbar

Full-Motion cutscene from Westwood Studio's Dune 2000. With the Atreides and Harkonnen in full retreat back to their holes, and the Sardaukar vowing their vows of fealty to mighty House Ordos, today would forever mark the history of the Imperium. The corrupt House Corrino fell among their simpleton allies into death and despair. What was left of the Emperor of the Imperium had shown that he was killed with a Gom Jabbar. A fitting method, for it is often considered a test of one's humanity, and it was shown that the Emperor was nothing more than an animal. As Deviator Gas lifted to the brown smoke-filled skies, one can only wonder at why the Emperor thought himself safe. It is true to say that many underestimated the insidious House Ordos, but the Imperium would never do so again. The Executrix Council established their own brand of shadowy justice across the Landsraad, and through subtlety and sabotage were capable of holding the entirety of the Imperium in check. Though the Executrix and the Mentat Edric O would hold ultimate sway in the universe for millennia to come, it was the Commander who became the wealthiest individual to ever live. The Ordos are not evil, like the Harkonnen, for the Ordos keep their word, and for delivering the Imperium into their hands, they paid the Commander an empire's ransom worth of spice. His face even adorns much of the currency, showing that despite their cold calculating logic, the Ordos showed respect for at least one man.
