On Salusa Secundus, the Sardau tribe conquered other tribes and absorbed them, creating thus a planetary empire. One of these Burseg formed the military order Sardaukar, at least partly in response to the influx of strangers into the society. Sardaukar discipline was ferocious. Their military superiority derived from natural savagery, intense training, a sense of elect people (promoted by then-religion), and an ingrained, almost mystical esprit de corps. The Sardaukar was elite — quick-witted, tough, ruthless, and fanatically devoted to their commanders allowing no questioning or doubting of higher officers on the battlefield.

| - On Salusa Secundus, the Sardau tribe conquered other tribes and absorbed them, creating thus a planetary empire. One of these Burseg formed the military order Sardaukar, at least partly in response to the influx of strangers into the society. Sardaukar discipline was ferocious. Their military superiority derived from natural savagery, intense training, a sense of elect people (promoted by then-religion), and an ingrained, almost mystical esprit de corps. The Sardaukar was elite — quick-witted, tough, ruthless, and fanatically devoted to their commanders allowing no questioning or doubting of higher officers on the battlefield. Non-Sardau had binding tests of their loyalty in order to avert the growth of an enemy faction with "opportunities" to prove themselves, such as by carrying out a suicidal attack without hesitation. Nevertheless, many tribes submitted to the Sardau as the best guarantee of survival against them.
