''This article is about the House. For the book of the same name, see [[Dune: House Atreides]]''

'''House Atreides''' is a [[House Major]] in the [[Landsraad]], and ruled a [[Dukes|duchy]] based from the planet [[Caladan]]. In [[10191|10,191]], under Duke [[Leto Atreides]], it was granted the [[fiefdom]] of [[Arrakis]] by the then [[Emperor]] [[Shaddam IV Corrino|Shaddam IV]], but was subsequently disenfranchised by an invasion by its [[Kanly|arch-rival]], [[House Harkonnen]], supported by the Emperor's [[Sardaukar]]. It re-emerged in the space of three years, when the new Duke, [[Paul Atreides]] seized Arrakis and crowned himself Emperor. House Atreides continued to rule until the assassination of Emperor [[Leto II Atreides|Leto II]].

House Atreides is one of the three houses you can play as in [[Dune II]]. The Atreides [[Mentat]], who gives you the mission briefings, is [[Cyril]]. The Atreides start out with less then a third of [[Arrakis]] under their control. During the campaign they steadily capture territories, forcing the [[House Ordos|Ordos]] and the [[House Harkonnen|Harkonnen]] to work together against the Atreides. In the final mission the [[Emperor]] joins the remaining forces of the Ordos and the Harkonnen to stop the Atreides from conquering the planet. They fail however, and the Atreides exile the Emperor for his meddling and take control over Dune. <br />
The Atreides have the [[Dune II units#Sonic Tank|Sonic Tank]] as special unit, making them superior to the other Houses (including the [[Emperor]]) on long range. They can also summon [[Dune II units#Fremen|Fremen]] reinforcements from their [[Dune II buildings#Palace|Palace]].
