No-ships came into heavy use during and after the time of The Scattering. They were used by people fleeing the Old Imperium into the vast unknown of uncharted space. Since no-ships possessed advanced calculation systems, they did not require a Guild Navigator's prescient abilities to avoid collision with interstellar bodies. Because of this, they could escape charted territories without difficulty. However, this also meant that they came dangerously close, if not outwardly defied, the prohibition of the use of computers. At times, no-ships were often armed and took part in space battles.

abstract	No-ships came into heavy use during and after the time of The Scattering. They were used by people fleeing the Old Imperium into the vast unknown of uncharted space. Since no-ships possessed advanced calculation systems, they did not require a Guild Navigator's prescient abilities to avoid collision with interstellar bodies. Because of this, they could escape charted territories without difficulty. However, this also meant that they came dangerously close, if not outwardly defied, the prohibition of the use of computers. During the time of the Honored Matres, when the Lost Ones were returning to the Old Imperium, no-ships had become commonplace. Not only were they used to hide individuals and their movements, but they were also employed as planetary defenses by being placed in orbit. In this way, those who attempted to search for individuals with prescience would find it difficult, if not impossible to detect them. At times, no-ships were often armed and took part in space battles. The earliest known usage of a No-ship can be found in the Prelude to Dune trilogy. House Harkonnen had developed the shop using a Richesian scientist in their employ. Once the ship was finished, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen executed the scientist to keep the No-ship secret. The No-ship was first used in Dune: House Atreides in an attempt to frame Duke Leto Atreides for an attack on a Bene Tleilax ship while inside a Guild Heighliner. The attack was a success but the plot was foiled by Duke Leto Atreides's desperate gambit of a Trial by Forfeiture. However, the existence of the No-ship remained secret. Unfortunately, for House Harkonnen, the Na-Baron Glossu Rabban Harkonnen took the No-Ship during a mission to the Bene Gesserit homeworld of Wallach IX. The ship was crashed and confiscated by the Bene Gesserits. Rabban was sent to Lankveil as punishment. The Bene Gesserit destroyed the No-Ship when they could not unlock it's secrets.
