Shaddam Corrino IV, the 81st Padishah Emperor, ruled the Corrino Empire for 36 years, after the tragic assassination of his father. After years of handling the tumultuous politics of the Landsraad, Shaddam became an expert at using his opponents' ambitions against them. His growing paranoia, fueled by his lack of a male heir and the growing popularity of Duke Leto Atreides, led him to set up the Spice Wars to eliminate any threats to his rule and assert his domination of the spice trade. After the factions on Arrakis became too unruly, Shaddam, his family and the Sardaukar traveled to Arrakis to remind them of his dominion.[1] Though he had no intention to stay on the planet long, he brought with him his royal spaceships, mobile palaces fully equipped to accommodate the imperial administration and act as their centre of operation.[2]
