Planet Kaitain, as depicted in the 1984 Dune movie.
Kaitain was the Imperial Capital of the Corrino Empire. It had 4 moons.
The planet became the capital when the Imperial Seat was moved from Salusa Secundus -- Salusa Secundus having become a wasteland after the the intended destruction of House Corrino by House Tantor using atomics. That planet subsequently became the Emperor's prison planet.
Above the entrance to the Great Hall in the Imperial Palace was the quote: "Law is the Ultimate Science."
When House Atreides wrested the Empire from the Corrinos in 10,193 A.G. the Imperial Capital moved from Kaitain to Arrakis, where it remained on Dune until the death of Leto II approximately 3500 years later. Two years after the ascension of Paul Atreides to the throne, Paul's Jihadi warriors decided to ransack Kaitain, and destroyed many of the magnicficent buildings in the planet's capital, Corrinth City.
After the vandalism and wanton destruction by the Fremen troops, Kaitain never regained even a fraction of it's former importance or glory.
