Whale Fur Industries on the planet Kaitain produce the most sought after fur coats. The Whales on this planet have fur atop their skin...and blue fur at that...
Kaitain is the capital planet of the Imperium and the seat of power of House Corrino. Originally, Salusa Secundus was the capital world of the Imperium of a Million Worlds and the seat of House Corrino, but an attack from a Great House of the Landsraad rendered the planet practically uninhabitable. House Corrino erased the Great House from all historical records, and overtook their planet, Kaitain. Therefore, the name of the attacking Great House remains unknown.
It is very lush and verdant with city-sized palatial buildings and spaceports, and its best primary exports are the minerals, whale furs, champagne, precious gemstones, fine furs, and rare metals (especially Heigliners, artillery, ormi-thopter, and ormi-tank missiles).
