Dune Trucker Star

Sent by: Eddy.B
Abilities: This Unit is basicly a truck.It can fire 7,000 tonn missiles for protection but has no armor.One special abbility is under cover mode.You double click on it and it's guns drop off and a little man walks out and re-paints the truck from red to brown.This can only be done once with every truck.Once the little man is finished you wait a while for the paint to dry.The little man inside the truck will say "The paint is dry so lets get this rig moving!" and then if you drive it it cant shoot but it can steel technology from other houses.
Purpose::: You drive it into an enemy base {when the paint is dry}and park him in front of the building you want to infultrate and 30 seconds later you drive it back to your construction yard and the little man in the truck will say my job is done and will drive over to the sand and self destruct.The good thing is that you can now build what was in the building you infultrated.
Appearance: Like the constuction yard truck on red alert
Other Info: Need:star port and harkonen palace.
Price:7;000 solars
It may be dear but its worth it.
Only harkonen can get it even if an engineer takes over your buildings.
It can also blow up an intire base in 5 shots!

Draco Dezie Vezier ( Land Ship)

Sent by: ICSW}__lurker___ ( Master Cell)
Abilities: heavy shields defend this monstrosity from basically everything, its hit points are off the scale and its.. well... huge.. the triple s.h.o.g. cannon which would be placed on the front will make sure people dont stand in its way. along with the main cannon, it has several defense laser turrets which can destroy most units in 2 hits, the first hit destroying the armour/shields and the second hit being the big hammer. the land ship also has a few bays, allowing it to launch 4 carryalls and 4 MageStars, making it seem the best unit for all. Unfortunately, since the Harkonnen stole the plans from a Esca Kalzre Blue print cruiser which crashed on dune, they went able to reconstruct ALL of the systems, in particular the safety system. if this units blows up, IT BLOWS UP. positioning this unit careful is a must, for if somehow the unit is destroyed it will cuase a chain reaction with the matter around it and send out a blast of plasma shock waves easily capable of destroying a base if the commander is foolish enough to let that happen.
Appearance: Rather large, 100 metres, about 10 laser turrets on the deck. main triple acceleration cannons on the front. hovers about 2 m above the ground, allowing it easy access to areas where other units cannot reach ( cliffs, ect.) launches other units.
Other Info: basically invincible, very expensive. ranging about 10000+. it sounds alot, but the price is easily well worth it.the unit is stark black and is recreated using lesser technology making it quite unstable.

Magestar ( Ultra tank )

Sent by: ICSW}__Lurker__ ( Master Cell)
Abilities: Four Long treds,run along a basic system of 2 treds on each side, each tred seperated by a bar of neosteel, this prevents little men from crawling about underneth it. the tank would be almost as large as the factory itself, and wields a heavy plasma acceleration cannon which can deal a very good amount of damage ( can also deform terrain). the unit can also rapidly disperse heavy hell fire rockets, making air units run and hide. should the plasma acceleration fail to do the job, and there is a considerable amount of enemies to be delt with a secondary quad beam cannon would unfold and send out a few fire balls, giving it the name Magestar. the fire balls would literally cuase hell to rise. should there be a cliff in its path, this thing can simply force out several spikes on the treds and simply roll down it. a force of 5 MageStar's would easily be able to take out entire fortifications, and the Devastator would stand no chance against them.
Appearance: Large, 4 treds. ( looks like mammoth tankl) 8 plasma accelerators on a smooth long turret. several rocket racks along the sides and giant blades along to front to tear up those cursed worms. the turret also holds a concealed weapon explained in the abilities.
Other Info: Can send out a dirsuption field and reveal the entire map at the cost of the unit. cost would range about 2500. probably be built at the high tech factory requiring a temple and other higher ability things.

Berserker

Sent by: Mr.Zleeto
Abilities: As we know, the Harkonnen are notorious for doing horrible things to their own people, if the Baron decides that one of his prisoners could be used in his war effort, he will have him selected to be psychologicaly manipulated to become
a walking bomb if neccesary, They undergo grueling traing, and surgery to be made taller, and more broad shouldered to be able to build more muscle.
It's like the Sardukar, except twice as strong, fast, double the firepower, double the hitpoints. The only that's is bad about this unit is that you can only get it from the palace, and after it kills more than 12 guys in 5seconds, he goes crazy for 30 seconds, and may kill your units, or kill himself by detonating explosives on his back. He can be used in suicide missions to damage surrounding units by detonating himself. Can also enter structure to blow it up, it takse him 5seconds to wire the structure so that it explodes, but he doesn't kill himself. Has 2 heavy machine guns, 1 in each hand, can fire at 2 seperate targets or focus on 1 target, when runover by tank, cause huge damage to tank, and medium damage to surrounding units.
Appearance: Is 50% taller than Sardukar, has huge box on his back witch is the explosive, has 2 heavy machine guns, has red Uniform.
Other Info: When Selected says "Whaddya want me to destroy?"
Since is very agressive, may attack any infantry units in front of him as he is a very fast foot soldier. 28km on foot.

Frigate Bombing

Sent by: Scythe229
House: Harkonnen
Name: Frigate Bombing
Abilities: Much like in the movie. The frigates we saw commanded by Harkonnens in the beginning of the game and in the movie. Basically a massive Ornithopter strike, with huge bombs. Problem is, they're slow and can't take too much abuse.
Appearance: Like the frigates in the beginning. Sort of a rounded of blue tube with lines of windows lining the front. Two large prongs off the sides.
Other Info: I suppose it could be available through the Space port, like a purchase. Five min for delivery. Costs 1500 for strike, making it hard to time and awesome for attacks.

SSMML

Sent by: BUN
House: Harkonnen
Name: Surface to Surface Mobile Missle Launcher(SSMML)
Abilities: It is a large armed with the harkonnen deadliest weapon, the death hand missle.To arm the missle you would have to pay a small sum of 500 spice quata. Sounds good isn't it but the SSMML has slow speed and has a 15 pixel firing range. The good thing about it is that it has stealth abilities when un armed.
Appearance: It looks almost like the typical C&C MCV only that it has two large catapilar tracks protruding from its side. In the launching process the SSMML opens up and a great missle is shown. During the count down, the SSMML is unable to move and decloarkeds making it venurable.
Other Info: The SSMML will cost you 2000 spice quota and fo course this excludes the price of the production of the missle within the vehicle itself. In order to build this vehecle you are required to have a IX, heavy factory and of course the Harkonnen palace.

The Absorber

Sent by: Baron Vuk
House: Harkonnen
Name: The Absorber
Abilities: The Absorber is an attachement for the Devestator tank. It temporarily reconverts the tank into an energy absorbing machine. If attacked the tank collects energy from the opponents weapon and creates a distortion field around the tank that is tough to penetrate. The more the opponent attacks the stronger it becomes... however, while the tank is absorbing it becomes immobile. It's best used to guard against attacks on structires or vehicles. Used for defense only...
Appearance: The Absorber is an attachment (upgrade) that looks like a flourescent tube. The more "tubes" you attach the greater amount of damage your vehicle can absorb. Only Devestators can use this defensive weapon. Cost is 200 sol. per tube, (max is 4 Absorber tubes per tank). Note: if the tank is engaged in battle the tubes can get damaged.
Other Info: The tubes need constant maintenance and/or replacement, depending on the amount of use.

Other Info: Armour- Heavy, resistant to most troops {except for the Sardukar and Fremen} and is resistant to most bombs missiles etc. Cost- A huge price of 2500 solaris must be paid for this item, yet it would be the most powerful and strong units in the game, it is orderable from the starport.

Morphing Sardaukar

Sent by: Some Guy
House: Harkonnen
Name: Morphing Sardaukar
Abilities: The Morphing Sardaukar can make itself appear to be anything in the game; from a sonic tank, wind trap, light infantry, to the form of a sandworm moving through the sand. This unit is useful when playing against a computer opponent or any opponent with a large army. You can attack the enemy and while they are occupied you can slip a Morphing Sardaukar into their base in the guise of one of their units. The Sardaukar will remain this way until he is either killed or told to attack. The Sardaukar will only attack what you tell him to attack so as not to reveal his postion. Placing a Morphing Sardaukar next to the enemy's outpost will give you vital information about your opponent, just like infiltrating all the enemy's buildings in C&C Red Alert.
Appearance: The Morphing Sardaukar when not morphed will appear just like a regular Sardaukar, except to the player who owns him, he will have an M on his Chest large enough to read in the players colors. When morphed he will appear like an enemy unit in their colors.

Name: Lasguns
Abilities: Mountable on any unit (including 'thopters), turret or carried by troopers. Can cut through any kind of armor. Reacts violently with energy shields.
Appearance: Any armed unit, and turrets.
Other Info: This is taken directly from the book DUNE. In DUNE Lasguns are the primary weapons of the Harkonnens, Sarduakar, and the Fremen. On inherent danger to energy shields is that they cause Worms to go into a blind rage. For this reason Fremen use Lasguns instead of sheilds. A lasgun when it hits a sheild causes a nuclear explosion that destroys the operator of the shield and the Lasgun at the same time, and anything else in the ficinity. In the book one of House Atreides' main commanders, Duncan Idaho laid a trap for an unsuspecting Harkonnen Ornithopter that was spraying the desert with it's Lasgun. He planted a shield and covered it with sand, when the 'thopter shot the shield, it was destroyed in a nuclear explosion.

Excalibur Artillery Gun

Sent by: MrX
House: Harkonnen
Name: Excalibur Artillery Gun
Abilities: Type: Siege Support Artillery
Requiries: Update Heavy Factory and IX Research Center
Weapon: One "Excalibur" 200 mm cannon
Weapon Range: Extreme
Speed: 20 km/hr
Armour: Medium (but lighter than a missile tank). Excalibur Artillery Guns are vulnerable to most types of weapons.
Purpose: Long range siege weapon. The Excalibur Artillery Gun is carried to the battlefield on a long, tracked truck. Due to the immense firepower of the Excalibur Artillery, the gun has to be deployed onto the ground, before it can fire. The Excalibur Artillery can be deployed on sand, but will still be vulnerable to any sandworm in the region. Once deployed the Excalibur Artillery Gun fires a long range, (but somewhat inaccurate) very powerful shell. The Excalibur Artillery Gun can be reployed back into truck form, but the gun is very vulnerable to enemy fire in both deploying and reploying modes. Due to the inaccurate nature of the gun, the Excalibur Artillery Gun is best suited for destroying enemy structures, from behind the front line. WARNING: the Excalibur Artillery gun can not defend itself a close range. Therefore it must be defended by other units..
Appearance: In truck mode, the Excalibur Artillery Gun looks like a long, track truck carrying a long gun barrel.
In artillery mode, the Exalibur Artillery Gun looks like a large, immobile artillery gun.
Other Info: Gameplay features of the Excalibur Artillery Gun:
# The Excalibur Artillery Gun basically performs like the guns on the cruiser in Red Alert, but with only one shot per "round".
# The minium range of the Excalibur Artillery Gun is about the maximum combat tank's gun range. Closer than that range, the Excalibur Artillery Gun can not hit the target.
# In artillery mode, the Excalibur Artillery Gun can not be repaired like other structures (by using the "wrench" icon, but it can be repaired by using an Engineer unit. In truck mode, it can be repair by the Repair Pad.
# Changing to truck and artillery mode (by the same method as with the Mobile Construction Vehicle) takes about 15 seconds. While in this intermediate stage, the Excalibur Artillery Gun's "armour" (vulnerability to enemy weapons) is reduced.
# The Excalibur Artillery Gun is very expensive.
# The Excalibur Artillery Gun is tracked (in truck mode), and therefore can crush infantry type units..

It has heavy armour and can not be detected on radar or by sandworms. if set down on concrete it will drain power from that base if it is an enemy one.

Kharn also has a huge laser gun, capable of going through a Devestator then slamming into the next destroying both. Kharn is a bestial engine of destruction in combat-not even the most savage of wounds will stop or so much as slow him down as he storms forward slashing bellowing his battle cry "BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD!". He stays determined to make blood pour for the bloodgod. Nothing short of death could keep him from killing...
Appearance: Kharn is a blood-soaked ravager, favoured by Khorne the lord of battles as one of his most insane and deadly Berzerkers. Kharn proudly bears the Mark of Khorne, the Blood God. At his waist, he wears a belt with a cow skull on the front. Hanging from the cow skull 4 chains, each link barbed.At the end of each chain hangs a human skull.
Other Info: If your close enough to see him YOUR ####ED!!!!

Sarduakar Trooper

Sent by: Brian
House: Harkonnen
Name: Sarduakar Trooper
Abilities: The Sardukar would be more of a brute force unit. A heavily armored mech trooper who can use his rocket launcher to breach walls and get inside. Impervious to troops and difficult for base defenses to target, only tanks could hunt him with any accuracy. Like the feydakin, he blows up with any building he enters. They could be one-shot per scenario units, or be on a re-charge timer like the nukes, chronosphere, iron curtain, etc. from C&C.
Appearance: Sardukar commando wears a mech armor suit with rocket launcher mount.
Other Info: I don't know what capacity the Sardukar will serve in the new game, but they should be used as commandos like in C&C, in a limited capacity. The Sardukar trooper (Harkonnen)could be used to infiltrate enemy bases and blow up one strategic building in a suicide mission.
