SCOL. Within "the infrastructure of a permanent and massive multiplayer world that exists online",

Dune universe, with the goal of first mastering the natural resources of their own homeworlds and ultimately rising in power and influence through conflicts and alliances with other player dynasties. Each of the three available dynasty types - traders, soldiers, or mercenaries - would provide a different playing experience, all with the long-term goal of gaining control of Arrakis and its valuable spice.

alpha testing stage in February 2002, and the project was ultimately halted after Cryo filed for bankruptcy in July.
