Designed as a light assault shuttle with impressive thrust for its class, the Kynes Assault Shuttle was named after the Imperium planetary ecologist who adopted Fremen ways and led them in their struggle against the Beast Rabban and even against the savagery of the desert itself.
The Kynes is used for lightning fast raids and commando expeditions. The saying among the elite Feydakin is that the Jihad is the might of Shai'hulud, but the Kynes is the sting of the crysknife in the night.
