Harkonnens
One of the original families of IC. The Harkonnens made a name for themselves in Milky Way in Beta 1.
Harkonnen Motto
The Harkonnens were probably the only family with a motto:
We are mean
We are fierce
We are bloodthirsty
We are HARKONNENS
History
While many consider the net worth rankings to be the true measure of a family, the Harks never agreed with that and played only for the size ranking, which led to the Harks often being considered a quite land-fat family. However, the fierceness of the family kept them from ever being considered an easy target, and the Harks on principle participated in many wars each and every round.
Beta 1
Since there isn't really a single important incident, war or story without the Harkonnens in beta 1, in depth reading about this time is available at:
Beta 2
After the end of Beta 1, they traversed the galactic void and conquered Triangulum in Beta 2. The blood-thirsty Harks dominated and easily finished first in both NW and size.
- Final size ranking:
- Harkonnens (144) 662228 242
- Knights of the Dark Nebula (139) 398792 182
- Final net worth ranking:
- Harkonnens (144) 242 662228
- IIII~Death Gate~IIII (145) 175 405596
Note: The Official IC Hall of Fame shows Triangulum Beta 2 as Sagittarius Dwarf Beta 2 and vice versa.
Beta 3
Come Beta 3 the Harkonnens decided to return to Milky Way and found themselves faced with much stiffer competition. That round the Harkonnens finished 8th in size and 13th in net worth.
Beta 4
During the final round of the beta era, Beta 4, the Harks returned to their past glory and amassed 1625 planets to finish first in size, nearly 300 more than the second-place Mount Olympus. The Harks finished a distant 5th in net worth at 8.9 million, more than 3 million shy of first-place Death and Rebirth.
Round 1
The end of the beta rounds, saw the retirement of the many of the original Harkonnens, leaving mostly players with only a couple of rounds of experience to fight on in the first official rounds.
