[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, to be really specific it's from [iost_uid0]Heretics of Dune[/iost_uid0] and [iost_uid0]Chapterhouse: Dune[/iost_uid0]. I suppose I could try and explain -

A No-ship is basically a ship equipped with a cloaking device (a No-field) , except that it's totally undectectable by conventional means, and that Guild Navigators can't 'see' it either (or anything that happens inside it). There's also some mention in one of the 'Prelude to Dune' books, but I forget which.[/colorost_uid0]
