The Honorverse is a military science fiction series created by David Weber and published by Baen Books. The series is set primarily after Honor Harrington's birth; although she is the protagonist in most of the stories, more recent entries make only passing references to Harrington. This appendix sketches in some of the salient points of the galaxy into which Honor was born . . . and which she, willingly or not, was to play a major part in changing forever.
