I've got more Dune knowledge in my ***** than Brian Herbert has
alltogether.
"Guild navigators diverged widely from humankind's more
common shape. Born in space and living out their lives in tanks of
melange gas,
they distorted the original form, elongated and repositioned limbs and
organs.
But a young navigator in estrus and before entering the tank could
breed with a
norm. It had been demonstrated. They became non-human but not in the
way of
the Bene Gesserit."
~Frank Herbert, Heretics of Dune
