The Imperial Race
The Imperial Race is a nation that has been in existence for at least 10,000 Years. The Ruling house, House Corrino, Rules from the Planet Kaitain. They sit on the Golden lion throne as they have for the last 10,000 years after The Butlerian Jihad.
Butlerian Jihad
In a nutshell, thinking machines are created and are first used to serve man, but later begin to enslave mankind. The Butlerian Jihad is a crusade for the destruction of computers, robots, and anything that tries to replace the human mind with a machine (artificial intelligence). the Jihad ended in human victory at the Battle of Corrin. The leader of the Jihad then renamed his royal house "House Corrino", and declared himself Emperor of the Known Universe. The Emperors of the Empire of a Million Worlds were all of House Corrino for the next 10,000 years. After the destruction of the intelligent machines throughout the human worlds, the commandment "Thou shalt not make a machine in the image of Man's mind" holds sway. This is the reason that we don't see computers or "thinking machines" This lack of computers leads to a return to feudalism and facilitates a need for humans to accomplish computer-like tasks and calculations, which leads to the creation of the Mentat order and the Bene Gesserit. However, it seems mankind cannot do without new technology and as the centuries pass fringe worlds like Ix and Tleilaxu give birth to the technological powers of the Ixians and the Bene Tleilaxu. The Ixians produce mechanical technology which skirts the boundary of using "thinking" computer technology; while the Bene Tleilaxu provide biological technology to replace the mechanical technology used before the Jihad.
Attack on Salusa Secundus
House Corrino was driven from the lush planet of Salusa Secundus long ago by an atomic attack carried out by a rival House. This House was subsequently exterminated and no record of its name exists by the today. The Corrinos relocated the Imperial capital to Kaitain and Salusa was left as a barren wasteland. It was publically believed that Salusa was the emperor's prison planet. However, it eventually emerged that House Corrino also made use of the planet as a training ground for the Sardaukar troops.
Imperial Sardaukar
Sardaukar are trained from infancy on the planet Salusa Secundus, House Corrino's original (and environmentally barren) homeworld as well as the formal Capital world of the Empire prior to the Butlerian Jihad. Known to the rest of the Empire as the Emperor's Prison Planet, Salusa Secondus is home to the vicious training grounds of the Sardaukar, who fight voraciously in a mock-up of natural selection - ensuring that only the best enter formal Imperial service. Like the Fremen on the planet Dune, the intense difficulties of simply surviving the barren terrain and fellow populace on Salusa Secondus leave only the toughest alive. Further, their training emphasized ruthlessness and near-suicidal disregard for personal safety. In conjunction with intense conditioning for loyalty to the Emperor, the Sardaukar are estimated as worth ten times their number in Landsraad house levies. The Sardaukar are normally organized under legions of roughly 30,000 soldiers each, and it is said that one legion alone can pacify any planet foolish enough to incur the Emperor's wrath.
Landsraad
The other noble houses including House Atreides and House Harkonnen do not individually approach the power of the Emperor and are in competition for fiefdoms, financial and political power, and Imperial favor. However, their representation in the Landsraad and their combined armed forces provide a check and balance against the power of House Corrino and the Emperor. The most important great houses in the Landsraad are:
House Atreides House Corrino House Harkonnen House Richese House Vernius There are about 17 more houses in the Landsraad.
