The Imperial House Corrino was once the deadliest and grandest House Major found within the Known universe, and for many thousands of years the imperial family of the Imperium. The official residence of the Imperial House Corrino was the planet Kaitain while their personal fief was the ancestral exile planet Salusa Secundus.

The events after the Battle of Corrin saw the newly formed House Corrino capture rulership of the new Imperium.

Rule: Over the subsequent millennia, the Imperial House Corrino maintained a firm grip on the Empire.

House Corrino's rule was defined as absolute while one of its members sat on the Golden Lion Throne. Moreover, House Corrino maintained a large vote in the Landsraad Council, larger than any other Great House.

During their Imperial rule, House Corrino maintained arguably the most powerful army in the known universe - the Sardaukar. Through their superior abilities the Corrinos were capable of crushing any military opposition. It was said that the only way the Corrino Sardaukar could be defeated would be through the combined forces of all the Great Houses of the Landsraad.

The Corrino were, presumably, just rulers of the Imperium as no known issues other than Arrakis were known, but they would backstab and use treacherous tactics in order to maintain their seat in power but without getting openly involved, such as when they supplied Sardaukar to the Harkonnen to deal with the Atreides.
