This thread primarily serves as a resource for the writers at THE AFFAIRS OF KAITAIN: A Role-Play of Dune. It will provide the indexed and cross-referenced geographical, technological, cultural, and social background for this lost, all female, interstellar colony. Secondarily, it serves as a forum for the story’s writers and readers to comment upon and discuss the issues, events, and relationships that arise as we role-play.
If, after reading the particulars of The Affairs of Kaitain, you think you might want to join in its role-play, please contact Empress Josephine here or JawnKarTurr here.
FOR THOSE WRITING IN THE AFFAIRS OF KAITAIN
The founding members of this story thread intend and hope to keep the tale entirely within the canon of Frank Herbert’s wonderful and elaborate Dune universe. The idea is that our story could actually have happened, unrecorded until now, in the setting of the canon novels and not be contradictory to the history and events in them. To that end, Hard_Rom has graciously agreed to serve as arbiter of canon for this “Affairs of Kaitain” thread. Please post any questions you have in this regard for his (and others’) comments and his ruling on this OOC thread.
Further, can find an extensive background for our story at The Expanded Dune Wiki, and many other places on the internet, with indexed details specific to this role-play added below. As you contribute to the story, make sure your actions and descriptions follow the information provided by those resources, and are likewise consistent with any details already established by other writers earlier in the thread. Again, any uncertainties or questions you have in these regards should be presented on this OOC thread for comment and resolution.
