Emperor Sidir XIII[1] (d. 2191 AG) was Emperor of the Known Universe (r. 2188–2191 AG) during the Era of the Princes, succeeding his father Sidir XII as ruler of the Corrino Imperium.[1]
Sidir attempted to put an end to the economic dominance of House Atreides over the Imperial House, which had plagued House Corrino throughout the Era of the Princes. In 2191, he had Maximos Atreides killed during an audience. As revenge, Maximos's son Peleus Atreides had Sidir poisoned in his bed.[2] Sidir's death ended both the Era of the Princes, as well as his branch of House Corrino, the First House of Corrin Corrino.[1]
Sidir's death was followed by an interregnum, with the Imperium governed by the Landsraad, which refused to recognize any imperial claimants. This lasted until 2197,[1] when Peleus signed a truce with Baron Shahrukh Kenric, who was then proclaimed emperor.[2]
