"She saw mankind's future, with space-folding ships connecting a vast empire...a civilisation that remained linked to the past through a long line of Sorceresses dressed in black, hooded robes."
Norma Cenva's vision of the Corrino Empire[src]

The Corrino Empire, also known as the Corrino Imperium, Galactic Imperium or simply Imperium, or the Holy Empire, was a galactic-wide empire ruled by House Corrino.

The empire was established in the year 88 BG by Faykan Corrino following the Battle of Corrin, and lasted until Paul Atreides usurped Shaddam Corrino IV after the epochal Arrakis Revolt and founded the replacing Atreides Empire in 10193 AG. The seat of power of the Imperium was initially the planet Salusa Secundus, the traditional home of House Corrino. However, during the reign of Hassik Corrino III, it was moved to Kaitain after House Tantor devastated Salusa in an atomic attack.

The Corrino Empire provided a socioeconomic and political framework within which the Faufreluches class system operated.
