Introducing House Corrino

His Imperial Majesty, the Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe Shaddam IV, will be arriving on Arrakis very soon to settle the question of his oversight once and for all, and he is not happy to have to make the trip.

House Corrino has ruled the Imperium for 10 millennia, balancing the conflicting interests of CHOAM, the Spacing Guild, and the Great Houses, and they are unwilling to lose control of the most valuable planet in the universe.

The emperor brings with him his fearsome Sardaukar legions, mysterious elite warriors from Salusa Secundus. He will have to use them, as well as all of his political acumen and control over CHOAM, to subdue the rogue houses and wild rebels of Arrakis.

Shaddam IV, the 81st Padishah Emperor, has ruled the Corrino Empire for 36 years, following the tragic murder of his father. After years managing the tumultuous politics of the Landsraad, Shaddam has become adept at using the ambitions of his opponents against him.

His growing paranoia, fueled by the lack of a male heir and the growing popularity of Duke Leto Atreides, led him to establish the Spice Wars as a way to remove any threat to his rule and assert his dominance. in the spice trade. Discover more information here.
