Lankiveil was a cold maritime planet in the Corrino Empire. Its chief export was whale fur, desired by many of the very wealthy throughout the Imperium. It was one of the many planets controlled by House Harkonnen due to its place in the whale fur trade. A sect of the Buddislam religion was dominant in the planet culture.

Prior to 10132 AG, Abulurd Harkonnen was given the subdistrict governorship of Rabban-Lankiveil. Afterwards, he renounced the Harkonnen name and adopted the surname of his wife's family, Rabban. Rabban and his wife had two sons, Glossu Rabban and Feyd-Rautha Rabban.

Glossu succeeded his father as Count of Lankiveil until 10193 AG, when House Harkonnen was defeated and dissolved by the actions of Paul Atreides.
