Sardaukar
The Sardaukars are soldiers of elite imperial of the family Corrino in the cycle of fiction of Dune of Frank Herbert.
Sardaukars are famous being the strongest soldiers of all the empire. This power of attack comes from their drive on the planet Salusa Secundus, the planet-prison of the Emperor, whose environment is as hard as that of the planet-desert Dune inhabited by the Fremen. According to the scale of the Landsraad, a Sardaukar is equivalent has 10 standard combatants, and it is known as that they never knew the defeat, until the battle of Arakeen…
Sardaukars were involved in a hostile environment in which 6 people out of 13 found death before reaching the old one 11 years. Their pitiless military training developed their ferocity all eliminating the instinct of survival almost.
Salusa was also the major planet of the family Corrino which, by collecting already strong Men from their capacity of survival in hostile environment, recovers their honesty which becomes a fanaticism without fault. However, Sardaukars are not stupid, and can learn lesson from their errors, or stop the combat when they recognize that any hope is lost. Thus a group of Sardaukars is made prisoner by the Fremen of Paul on Dune, before the attack of Arrakeen is not launched.
In singular combat their aptitude was comparable with that of the warriors of the tenth level of the Ginaz, their control was equivalent to that of the Bene Gesserits, although they are not versed in the Voix and the disciplines Prana-Bindu of the Révérendes Mères.
Raised in the myths of their defeat against the Fremen, Sardaukars conceive a great mistrust against the Maison Atréides, which carried out the warlike Dune against them.
