DUNE novel is yer handbook, mate

Context:

1. the "spices" in Dune (on the Arrakis" planet) are the one and only source for superhuman intelligence boost used for human navigators to... well, NAVIGATE thru space

2. many fractions fight for Arrakis because "who own spice own galaxy"

3. TAIWAN is pretty much the only source of modern microcomputers nowadays; also necessary to navigate and such.
