DuneAmiga 05-1 — Weapon-chamber - Cryos Dune (1991)

In the Known Universe, different kinds of weaponry are known to exist, including the common Projectile weapons, Laser Weapons, Blades and Atomics used by the Military of the Known Universe and other techniques and Poisons described in the Assassin's Handbook. However, the technical revolution initiated by the Holtzman technologies forced many factions of the Empire to develop new kinds of weapons, including the concepts of Human body and mind as weapons.
