OVERVIEW

A lawful and modern city of beauty that is the seat of the Empire.

HISTORY

Kaitain was untouched by humans or thinking machines during the Butlerian Jihad and afterwards. House Tantor blasted the capital planet Salusa Secundus with atomics, laying waste to it. The current near-uninhabitable state of that planet forced Emperor Hassik Corrino III to choose a new seat of power. His advisors provided several alternatives, and Hassik III selected Kaitain.

The planet’s natural beauty, temperament, and malleability made it an optimal choice for a new capital world. Hassik III destroyed House Tantor in retaliation for Salusa Secundus and wanted to install a sense of confidence in the people afterward, to prove House Corrino’s strength and capability to move forward. Legions of Imperial construction forces set out to build cities to parallel the planet’s natural beauty.

The capital planet is a picturesque world of grace, opulence, and abundance. Immense buildings made of glass and metal reach skyward with breathtaking art displayed throughout each city. Each angle, stone, and tree has been precisely planned to instill the perfect sense of wonder.

CULTURE

All worlds within the Imperium are respected but none more than Kaitain as the seat of Imperial power. The citizens obeyed the laws and roles set out before them. Anything less risks the eye of the Imperial bureaucracy. The people are lawful and happy, or at the very least appear to be to avoid repercussions.
