    As far as I recall, this is all handled by Frank Herbert never explaining literally anything at all about their space battles

      Which is, again, where the rest of the books start to lose me. I started to realize all of the first book took place planetside because Herbert is incapable of writing Sci-Fi or taking all of his universe seriously. He just handwaves over things that should be major parts of the plot.
