Giedi Prime, later Gammu, is a planet of Ophiuchi B (36) and the homeworld of the vicious House Harkonnen, sworn enemies of House Atreides. It is "A median-viable planet with a low active-photosynthesis range;" bleak and dark, it is heavily industrialized and its people are very oppressed. By the time of Heretics of Dune, its name has been changed to "Gammu" by Gurney Halleck.

Famous quotes containing the word prime:
“Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely. I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
