Kaitain (Dune)
Kaitain is a fictional planet in the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert.
In Herbert's 1965 novel Dune, it is mentioned briefly as the seat of power of Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, the Imperial court being previously located on the planet Salusa Secundus.
The Prelude to Dune prequel trilogy (1999-2001) by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson further explores Kaitain and its origins.
On October 8, 2014, a real-world labyrinthus (complex of intersecting valleys) on Saturn's moon Titan was named Kaitain Labyrinthus after Herbert's fictional planet.
