They operate at full capacity right up the point at which they are destroyed. Harkonnen units are extremely tough, well armored, and used to harsh punishment.

Units and Buildings House Atreides Units House Advantage Only military prowess and time will decide the fate of Arrakis, and the universe. As the three Houses begin their war, the smaller Houses are making their own plans and are poised to take advantage of any weaknesses shown by the great Houses. Who will it be? The noble Atreides of the peaceful water world Caladan? The evil Harkonnen, who hail from the dark and cruel planet Giedi Prime? Or the insidious Ordos of the mysterious ice-covered world Draconis IV? It may be none at all. Each House now fights to control the most territories on Dune, for whoever controls the spice, controls the universe.
Needing a ruling body to maintain order, the remaining three great Houses each seek to fill the void by gaining control of the emperor's throne. The elite forces of the emperor, the Sardaukar, are without direction, becoming mercenary and siding with whoever holds the most power. Low with the death of the emperor through the machinations of the Lady Elara, the battle to control Dune has escalated. She conspired to assassinate Frederick and bring Dune under the control of a more peaceful ruling body, which she hoped would ensure an endless availability of Spice to her Sisterhood. What he didn't foresee was that his concubine, Lady Elara Moray Trieu of the Bene Gesserit, had plans of her own. This would have ensured that no one faction had enough power to usurp his position. Frederick had hoped that the other Houses would destroy /each other and that he, along with his feared Sardaukar, could wipe out any remaining forces. Seeking to secure his position as Emperor of the Known Universe, Emperor Frederick IV of House Corrino initiated a grand battle between the next three great Houses for control of the governorship bf Arrakis. Many battles have been fought to control this precious substance, but Dune and the Spice have remained under the control of House Corrino until now. With it comes the ability to prolong human life, give Future Sight to the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, and fold space, allowing interstellar ravel. Spice is the most powerful substance in the known universe. The planet Arrakis, also known as Dune™, is home to the Spice Melange.
