I've reviewed this kind of Dune background material and I still don't quite get how the Zensunnis and others managed to get to other star systems before the advent of FTL. I've seen no mention of (for example) generation ships.
- shagie 3y agoIn this timeline... FTL was discovered in 13004 BG (before guild) and 12200 BG was "The Empire of Ten Worlds" followed by 11200 BG which was "The Empire of a Thousand Worlds" It wasn't until 7593 BG when I.V. Holtzman was born. 5022 BG was "The Empire of Ten Thousand Worlds". The order of the mentats was established in 1234 AG. In 2800 AG you have the beginnings of the Zensunni Migration. 7193 AG was Zensunni on Rossak buying passage from the space guild to Arrakis. Paul Atreides was born in 10175 AG. --- FTL existed before the guild, it was mediated by computers and wasn't entirely safe. There are about 10,000 years between the founding of the guild (and safe non-computer FTL) and the events of Dune. --- A page from the start of the timeline of the Zensunni Wanderers history - https://i.imgur.com/Xw8qbpO.png https://i.imgur.com/Xw8qbpO.png
