Melange is The Spice ... the drug that alters reality and permits space travel in the universe of Arrakis, the only planet where it exists. Everyone wants it. Few have it. Gross, disgusting beings fight over it. Unfortunately, giant lethal worms and intransigent indigenous peoples refuse to cede ownership; thus, wars.
You know ... like oil.
