Stories of Ogame (by a Dune Fan)

Last time I played this game was probalby 15 years ago. Gosh... time doesnt stop. This time I decided to make use of AI to generate stories of combats I have in Ogame, mixing it with element of Dune.

It's my way of not getting bored and quit the game, again.

The following story is between myself and a player called "Dragonville".

The crimson sun bled across Dragonplace, painting the ravaged landscape in hues of death. (Lord of Night, the Fremen leader,) surveyed the silent city, its once-gleaming spires now twisted skeletons against the ochre sky. The air, thick with the stench of burning spice and shattered stone, held a chilling silence – the quiet aftermath of a brutal, efficient conquest. Their advanced stillsuits had allowed them to endure the planet's harsh conditions, even utilizing the planet's unique energy source, a volatile crystalline substance, to power their devastating weapons. The Dragonvilles, masters of psychic manipulation, had been no match for the Fremen's ruthless efficiency and superior tactical understanding of desert warfare.

With their mission complete, the Fremen, leaving behind only silence and ruin, vanished into the swirling sandstorms, their sandriders leaving no tracks in the devastation. Only the wind whispered of their passing, carrying tales of their conquest across the desolate expanse of Dragonplace.

Since then he has increased his defence immensely.

Planet Dragonville. A fiery orange sun, cast long, dancing shadows across the craggy landscapze. The planet, a jagged tooth of rock and lava flows, was named after its most famous, or perhaps infamous, inhabitant: Baron Dragonville. And the name was fitting in more ways than one.

Baron Dragonville Harkonen wasn't just from Dragonville, he was Dragonville. He embodied the spirit of the place, a relentless, often ruthless, will to dominate. He was what the locals called "a vile creature," a being who deployed every tactic, every advantage, every underhanded trick to achieve victory, no matter the cost.

Dragonville Harkonen, the fat, surveyed the landscape from the reinforced command deck of his colossal orbital fortress, the 'Hammer of the Dragon'. His chins, like folds of well-aged leather, jiggled with a smug satisfaction:
"The perimeter is secure, Lord Harkonen," droned a servitor, its voice a monotonous hum. Dragonville barely acknowledged it with a grunt. He didn’t need a machine to tell him what he already knew. His military advisors, those sycophantic beetles, had assured him that Dragonville was an impenetrable bastion. The orbital shields were impenetrable. The planetary defence grid was a web of interlocking lasers and missile emplacements. His personal legions, recruited and brutalised into unyielding obedience, stood vigilant along the vast, lava-carved canyons and treacherous mesas.

He had spared no expense, no cruelty, in fortifying his domain. And why shouldn’t he? This was his. His land. His people. His… everything. His bloated fingers, thick as sausages, tapped impatiently on the command console. He was Dragonville Harkonen, and anyone who dared challenge his authority would face the full weight of his might. He chuckled, a low rumbling sound that shook the very metal beneath his feet.

"Let them come," he muttered, his voice a guttural rasp. "Let them try." He pictured the pitiful, starving remnants of the off-world rebellions, the ragtag bands of dissidents. They were weak, undisciplined, and they posed no real threat to his iron grip. He stuffed another honey-glazed date into his mouth, the sticky sweetness doing little to soothe the unease that had begun to prickle at the edges of his otherwise complacent mind. But he brushed it aside. He was Dragonville 'The Fat' Harkonen, and he felt confident. Very confident.

Below him, nestled within the shadows of the jagged terrain, the Fremen waited. They were not an invading force in the traditional sense. They were not a colourful army marching beneath banners, nor a fleet of warships descending from the sky. They were the ghosts of the desert, the whisper of the wind, the silent promise of vengeance…

The failed attempt

Lord of Night vs Mika Alas

Result: Recalled

Quote

The dust devils of Extol danced a frenetic jig across the ochre plains, mirroring the unease gnawing at Mika's gut. He adjusted the heavy, obsidian collar of his governor’s robes, the weight a constant reminder of his precarious position. Extol, a barren rock perpetually under the violet glare of its twin suns, was a vassal of House Harkonnen, and therefore, a place where paranoia was a survival skill.

Today was a transit day. A convoy of heavy-laden sandcrawlers, carrying the latest shipment of spice-dusted ore, rumbled before him, each one a potential coffin. Yet, Mika wasn't worried about sandworms or raiders. His concern was far more… subtle. The Bene Gesserit.

A shiver, not entirely from the desert chill, traced his spine. He'd been warned, indirectly, of their interest in him. Whispers from the Harkonnen court, cryptic hints from his own family's shadowy network. They desired him for purposes he couldn't quite fathom, and their methods were as insidious as a desert viper.

He'd doubled the convoy's security, of course. More Harkonnen brutes armed with lasguns and vibroblades than was strictly necessary. Yet, Mika knew muscle was often irrelevant against the honed mental prowess of the Sisterhood. As the convoy lumbered through a narrow canyon, the air vibrated. Not with the rumble of engines, but with a different kind of energy, a subtle hum that resonated in his bones. His guards stiffened, lasguns rising. Something was wrong. Dread, cold and clammy, tightened its grip on his heart:

"Ambush!" Mika barked, his voice tight with urgency. “Scatter! Defend the lead crawler. Target any anomalies!”

He barely finished the order when the canyon walls seemed to ripple. Not with heat haze, but with something… else. Forms, barely visible, materialized from the shimmering air, lean and draped in dark robes that swallowed the light. They moved with a disconcerting grace, too swift, too precise. IT'S THEM.

The laser fire erupted. Red bolts seared the air, but the figures weaved effortlessly, their movements almost impossibly fluid. Then, they began to attack. Not with weapons, at least not conventional ones. They employed the Voice, subtle commands of sound that twisted and confused, sending grown men sprawling, clutching their heads in agony.

Mika, his own mental training a pale imitation of the Bene Gesserit, felt a sharp, disorienting pressure in his forehead, the first tendrils of their psychic influence. He fought it back, the familiar mantra of Harkonnen fury pushing against the insidious intrusion.

“Withdraw!” he screamed, his voice laced with almost hysterical urgency. “Fall back to the landing platform! We are outnumbered!”

He knew, as the convoy slowly turned, that they were outmatched. The Harkonnen brutes, so fearsome in their heavy armor, were being toyed with, their brute force countered by the seemingly effortless grace of their opponents. He activated his personal communicator.

"Launch the transport! Now!"

The heavy transport, designed for quick evacuation, rose from the sand, a hulking, ugly bird of metal and steel. Mika, his heart pounding, leaped onto the ramp as it retracted, the roar of the engines a welcome sound against the chaos below. The transport lurched, taking off at maximum speed, leaving the battlefield behind. Through the viewport, Mika watched the Bene Gesserit turn their attention to the struggling convoy. They seemed… almost surprised by his escape. They hadn't expected him to move with such decisive speed. As they cleared the canyon, the transport shook, a jolt that threw Mika against the bulkhead. The pilot, his face pale and sweating, shouted,

"Governor! Incoming transmission! Priority level Alpha!"

Mika straightened, adjusting his collar, his mind already processing the possibilities. The Bene Gesserit didn’t use comms. This could only be one thing – the Sisterhood was recalling their attack.

The comm crackled to life, a crisp, synthesized voice filling the cockpit:

“Governor Mika, this is Mother Superior. Your escape was… unexpected. Our calculations were… premature. We are recalling our forces. We will observe you for the foreseeable future.” The voice carried no emotion, no hint of failure, only chilling, calculated dispassion.

The transmission cut, leaving the silence of the cockpit heavy and pregnant with unspoken threats. Mika stared out at the rapidly receding landscape of Extol, his mind racing. He had escaped, but he knew this was far from over. The Bene Gesserit had been caught off-guard, their plan miscalculated, but they would not give up on him. He had become a valuable piece in their game, and they would wait, patiently, until the time was right. He was, after all, only a pawn in a much larger game, a game that stretched beyond the barren sands of Extol and into the shadows of the galactic web. And he, Mika, the governor of a forgotten rock, was now a player, whether he wanted to be or not. He knew that, for now, he was alive , but he was far from safe. The Sisters were watching, and they would be back.

This much was certain.

Lord of Night vs Bandit Independence

"The Bandit"

(Honourable fight: +2,989) vs. (Honourable fight: +1,654)

Quote

The vacuum of space was a canvas splattered with the vibrant hues of nebulae, a beautiful backdrop for the ugly business Bandit Independence conducted. His flagship, a battered freighter nicknamed the 'Dust Devil', was a chaotic mess of weapons, salvaged tech, and the lingering scent of smuggled spice. Independence, the name was a lie, a carefully constructed smokescreen. He was no rebel, no lone wolf. A self-proclaimed declaration of autonomy that was as hollow as the void around him. He was, in reality, a pawn of the Harkonnens, a brutal instrument to bleed wealth from the trade routes, funneling the stolen bounty back to their grim coffers.

He was a predator, efficient and ruthless. His attacks were swift, his crew a motley collection of mercenaries and desperate souls drawn to the promise of quick riches. He’d perfected the art of cornering spice caravans, disabling their drives and boarding with a calculated ferocity that left many traders begging for mercy. This time, his target was a small freighter carrying a shipment of the precious Melange, a prize that would earn him a hefty commendation from his Harkonnen handlers.

He was in the middle of the boarding process, the acrid smell of laser fire stinging his nostrils, when the comms crackled to life. "Independence," a cold voice hissed, the words carrying a tremor of barely contained rage. "Your time is up."

It wasn’t the Harkonnens. This voice was laced with the dry rasp of the dunes, the barely subdued fury of a desert wind. It was a voice that spoke of deep-seated resentment, of a people whose existence hinged on the very spice he plundered. The Fremen.

Independence chuckled, a harsh, grating sound. “Fremen, eh?” He flipped open his helmet visor, the interior of the freighter now bathed in the harsh glare of his helmet light. “You’re a long way from Arrakis.” He glanced at his crew, their faces a mix of apprehension and excitement. “They think they can take us?”

A silent, almost imperceptible shimmer rippled through the corridor outside the boarding hatch. The air seemed to thicken, become taut. Then, the metal buckled, as if a giant fist had slammed into it. The Fremen were not boarding, they were tearing their way in.

Independence’s bravado vanished, replaced by a sliver of unease. He had dealt with traders, with outlaws, but the Fremen were different. They moved with an uncanny speed, weaving through laser fire as if it were no more than a gentle breeze. Their movements were fluid, their strikes precise. They attacked with a silent savagery that was unnerving.

He fought, blasting his weapon, but his bolts passed through the shadows without hitting their targets. They seemed to have anticipated every move, every trajectory. He noticed, then, the faint blue glow around their eyes, the telltale sign of prolonged spice exposure, the same spice he had been stealing for years. Even his crew, hardened space pirates, were falling back, their expressions a mixture of fear and awe.

Unbeknownst to Independence, this was not a spontaneous act of revenge, rather it was a carefully orchestrated takedown. The Fremen, masters of the desert warfare, were masters of the shadows as well. They had waited, choosing their moment with the patience they had learned in the harsh deserts of Arrakis. They had observed his movements, learned his routines, anticipated his every move.

But they were not the only ones watching Independence. Far from the fray, in the quiet seclusion of a Bene Gesserit chapter house, Sisterhood members observed the conflict through the data streams collected from the chaotic scene. They had, for a long time now, known of Independence and his role in the delicate balance of power in the galaxy. His actions, they knew, were a ripple of potential instability, a variable that needed to be understood - and ultimately, controlled. His fall would be as much a lesson to those who thought they could operate outside their carefully crafted web of influence as it was a step towards the intricate future they were working so hard to bring about.

Lord of Night vs Peacj

13/01/2025

"The pretender"

Honour points:

(Honourable fight: +9,566) vs. (Honourable fight: +3,242)

Quote

The shimmering heat haze distorted the ochre landscape, making the sprawling, adobe fortress appear to pulse like a desert beast. This was the heart of the House Atreus, a name whispered with a mix of disdain and grudging amusement across the galaxy. They called themselves the inheritors, the rightful successors. They even adopted the name, or rather, a warped version of it. Atreides.

Their leader, a man with eyes that seemed to hold the dust of a thousand forgotten dunes, called himself Peacj. It was a subtle perversion of “Paul,” a name synonymous with power and prophecy. Peacj, however, was neither a prophet nor a noble. He was a pretender, a master manipulator who had constructed his little kingdom on lies and stolen glory.

For years, this audacious charade had continued, much to the quiet fury of the Bene Gesserit. The Sisterhood, ever vigilant, could not allow such a brazen act of forgery to go unpunished. The House Atreides was more than just a name; it was a legacy, etched in the very fabric of the Imperium. And to have it sullied by these opportunistic vultures was an affront to everything they stood for.

Sister Seraphina, her face as pale and sharp as a desert wind, stood before the assembly of Reverend Mothers. The air in the chamber crackled with controlled power. “The Atreus have grown too bold,” she stated, her voice a low, resonant hum. “Their influence is spreading, their lies gaining traction. They are convincing lesser houses, the uneducated, that they are the rightful heirs of Caladan.”

“Peacj’s propaganda is cleverly crafted,” offered Mother Agnes, her aged hands clasped before her. “He uses distorted excerpts from the Litany of Fear, mimicking the late Duke Leto's teachings, twisting them to bolster his own claims. He even wears a crude copy of the hawk sigil.”

A flicker of something akin to disgust crossed Seraphina’s face. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, they say. But this is not flattery. This is theft. And the theft of a noble name is an affront that cannot be tolerated.”

The Sisterhood had observed Peacj and his Atreus for years, studying their patterns, their weaknesses. They had patiently waited, allowing the charade to play out, gathering the necessary information before unleashing their carefully orchestrated plan.

“We have determined Peacj's primary vulnerability,” Seraphina continued, her eyes narrowing. “He is obsessed with authenticity. He craves the legitimacy he has so desperately tried to steal. He believes his followers accept him because they believe in his false lineage, not because of his manipulative charisma. We will exploit this.”

The plan was intricate, a delicate tapestry of manipulation and calculated moves. They would not resort to brute force, not yet. They would instead use the very threads of Peacj’s deceit against him.

Under the cover of darkness, a small group of Bene Gesserit initiates, disguised as merchants, infiltrated the outer reaches of the Atreus fortress. They planted seeds of doubt, subtle whispers about the true nature of Peacj's lineage. They spoke of ancient records, of forgotten lineage charts that contradicted Peacj’s carefully crafted narrative.

They began to introduce inconsistencies into his own fabricated history, subtle alterations that caused confusion and paranoia to fester within the ranks of the Atreus. They revealed a hidden flaw in the hawk sigil, a minute detail that exposed the crude imitation it was. They even managed to place a false, but convincing, document that proved the Atreus lineage had once been associated with a disgraced house.

Peacj, initially dismissive of these whispers, became increasingly agitated as his once-unwavering followers began to waver. His meticulously constructed edifice of lies was crumbling around him. He began to doubt his own fabricated past, the seeds of doubt sown by the Bene Gesserit taking root in his own mind.

He grew paranoid, lashing out at his trusted lieutenants, accusing them of treachery. The cracks in his façade widened, revealing the insecure, desperately grasping man beneath.

The final act came in the form of a meticulously crafted revelation, delivered during Peacj’s most ostentatious public address. A Bene Gesserit initiate, disguised as a visiting historian, produced ancient records – altered by the Sisterhood’s art – that “proved” Peacj’s lineage was not only a lie, but a shameful one. These documents revealed his true ancestor, a petty thief and known coward who had been banished from his home world centuries ago.

The crowd, initially shocked into silence, erupted into chaos. The carefully cultivated image of Peacj, the rightful heir, shattered like fragile glass. His followers, realizing they had been duped, turned on him.

The Bene Gesserit watched from the shadows, their faces impassive. They had not shed a drop of blood, not raised a single weapon. They had, however, dismantled a fraudulent empire using only the power of truth and subterfuge. It was a lesson that Peacj and his Atreus followers would never forget. The House Atreides, and its legacy, would remain untainted.

The Sisterhood would not allow it to be otherwise. And the dust would settle, leaving only the echo of Peacj’s pathetic lies amongst the sands.
