List of Dune planets

Below is a list of fictional planets named in the novels of the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. In the Appendix of Dune (1965), Herbert notes that there are over 13,300 worlds under Landsraad influence immediately after the Butlerian Jihad. The desert planet Arrakis is the primary planet featured in the Dune series of novels; it is the only known source of the all-important spice melange in the universe. Other notable planets introduced in the originating novel Dune are Caladan (ancestral home of House Atreides) and Giedi Prime (homeworld of House Harkonnen).

Since 2009, the names of planets from the Dune novels have been adopted for the real-world nomenclature of plains (planitiae) and complexes of valleys (labyrinthi) on Saturn's moon Titan. Planet names used to date include Arrakis, Caladan and Kaitain.

III Delta Kaising

III Delta Kaising is one of two planets on which shigawire is grown (the other being Salusa Secundus).

IV Anbus

In Dune Messiah, it is said that Tibana, an "apologist for Socratic Christianity" who lived "between the eighth and ninth centuries before Corrino, likely in the second reign of Dalamak", was a native of IV Anbus. Tibana famously said "The hearts of all men dwell in the same wilderness."
