Salusa Secundus
Salusa Secundus is the harsh ancestral world of House Corrino and the Imperium's prison planet, long suspected of being the place where Sardaukar are made.
Shigawire grows on only two planets in the known universe, and Salusa Secundus is one of them, which is about the kindest thing said of a world otherwise known for extreme temperatures, wild beasts and country that does not forgive. It is the ancestral home of House Corrino, and since the court moved away it has been the Imperium's prison planet, where those judged guilty under Imperial law are sent. Atreides generals in particular argued that the place was doing something else as well: that a population hardened by a world like that would account for where the Sardaukar come from and why they fight the way they do. Little was known for certain about the planet's climate, and the origin of the Sardaukar and the size of their numbers stayed a matter of speculation.
