Harris Assassination

Harris Assassination

The Harris Assassination was a landmark event in the history of the People's Republic of Haven in the Honorverse.

The Harris Assassination was the primary thrust of a coup d'etat coordinated and executed by then Quorum chairman, Rob S. Pierre, First Undersecretary for Internal Security Oscar Saint-Just, and Citizens' Rights Union leader Cordelia Ransom.

On President's Day, 1905 P.D., a group of naval shuttles dropped four five-thousand-kilo precision guided warheads onto the People's Palace where almost every member of the Legislaturalist class had gathered to celebrate Hereditary President Sidney Harris's birthday.
