List of regions of space in the Honorverse

This is a list of regions in the Honorverse, and short descriptions.

Sectors in the Honorverse

; Haven Sector: Haven Sector is based around the star Haven. Haven is capital of the (People's) Republic of Haven. The sector was named by Solarian League cartographers. The entire sector lies within the Republic. The Republic is larger than the sector.

; Maya Sector: Maya Sector is headquartered in the Maya system, on the planet Smoking Frog. The sector is economically advanced and several of its planets are candidates for membership in the Solarian League. At the time of the Honorverse stories, it is nevertheless still under the control of the League's Office of Frontier Security. The current OFS sector governor, Oraville Baragos, has adopted policies (including support for an independent Torch system) which are sufficiently popular in the sector that OFS is unable to directly remove him. The tension between the sector and OFS has been high for some years.

; Monica Sector: Monica Sector is named for the Monica system. The Talbott Cluster and its Lynx Terminus of the Manticore wormhole junction lie within the sector, as does the Lynx system itself.

; Silesia Sector: Silesia Sector is named after the star "Silesia", which has been the capital of the Silesian Confederacy. The Sidemore system is also part of the sector, but outside the claimed extent of the Confederacy. The Confederacy occupies most of the sector. Pre-annexation, a few systems of the Andermani Empire lay within the sector. Post-annexation, the Confederacy was split between the Andermani Empire and the Star Kingdom of Manticore.

; Sol Sector: Old Sol is the star around which the Sol sector has been defined. The oldest human colonies lie within the sector. It is the heart of the Solarian League. The League capital of Old Earth is in the Sol system and the planet Beowulf and the Sigma Draconis terminus of the Manticore wormhole junction are relatively near.

Inhabited clusters

; Talbott Cluster: The Talbot Cluster lies near the Lynx Terminus of the Manticore wormhole junction. It is part of the "Verge", just outside the "Shell" part of the Solarian League.

Star Systems

Manticore Star System

; Manticore Star System: The Manticore Star System is a binary star system composed of Manticore A and Manticore B, containing three human habitable planets, Manticore, Gryphon, and Sphinx, and one native intelligent species, treecats.

; Manticore A (star): Salamander (Manticore-A I):: A small planet orbiting very near Manticore A.: Phoenix (Manticore-A II):: a red planet: Manticore (Manticore A III):: Capital world of the Star Kingdom and one of Manticore-A's inhabited planets.: Sphinx (Manticore-A IV):: One of the Star Kingdom's worlds. Homeworld of the treecats.: Draco (Manticore-A V):: A gas giant.: Roc (Manticore-A VI):: A gas giant.: Wyvern (Manticore-A VII):: A gas giant.

; Manticore B (star): Erinye (Manticore-B I): Gorgon (Manticore-B II): Aphrodite (Manticore-B III): Damocles (Manticore-B IV): Gryphon (Manticore-B V):: Manticore-B's only inhabited planet.: Unicorn asteroid belt: Nibelung asteroid belt: Titan (Manticore-B VI): Gorgan asteroid belt: Fenris (Manticore-B VII):: A gas giant.

The planet Manticore is the seat of government for the Star Kingdom of Manticore, which long included only that system, and its three planets. The SKM now includes Trevor's Star (within the Republic of Haven and a terminus system of the Manticore wormhole junction), the Basilisk system -- another terminus of the junction -- (but not the planet Medusa in that system), about half of the now defunct Silesian Confederacy in the Silesia sector, and many of the systems of the Talbott Cluster in the Monica sector near the Lynx terminus of the wormhole junction.

Manticore Wormhole Junction

;Manticore Wormhole Junction

The Junction is the basis of the Star Kingdom's well developed economy, and the reason for the growth of the SKM into something more approaching an Empire. The Talbott Cluster petitioned for annexation by the SKM because of the proximity of the newly discovered Lynx terminus, and Basilisk had earlier been annexed because of the Junction terminus discovered a few decades earlier. Because of the Junction, the Star Kingdom of Manticore now includes a disjunct (except through the Junction) collections of systems which, together, extend are 2/3 of the way around the Solarian League's periphery. The termini of the Manticore wormhole junction's include:

* Lynx Terminus, near the Talbott Cluster (the most recent discovery)
* Basilisk system, in which the planet Medusa is located (the next most recent and the first extra-system annexation by the Star Kingdom)
* Trevor's Star system, in which the heavy gravity planet San Martin is located. It is within the territory of the Republic of Haven, and was independent until it requested annexation after being liberated from its conquest by the Republic of Haven.
* Hennessy star system, within the Phoenix "Wormhole Junktion"
* Sigma Draconis, in the Solarian League, near Beowulf. It is the closest wormhole terminus to the Old Sol system.
* Gregor-B, in the heart of the Andermani Empire (The Andermani owns the Gregor-A component of the Gregor binary system, Manticore owns the B component.)
* Matapan, "southwest" of the Andermani Empire

igma Draconis star system

;Sigma Draconis star systemThe planet Beowulf orbits "Sigma Draconis". Sigma Draconis has a wormhole terminus of the Manticore wormhole junction. The "Sigma Draconis terminus" is jointly owned by the Manticore Star Kingdom and "Beowulf". Security for the terminus is the responsibility of the "Beowulf System Defence Force".

The Beowulf system is a member of the Solarian League. As such, the System Defence Force is nominally part of the Solarian League Navy as part of the Systems Defence Fleet, and forms a reserve force akin to the United States' National Guard. It is not part of the Solarian League Battle Fleet or its Frontier Fleet)

The Sigma Draconis terminus is the closest wormhole transit point to Old Sol and Old Earth, the capital of the League. Indeed, Sigma Draconis itself is relatively near to Old Sol and was one of the first settled colonies in the days of slowboat (ie, no hyperspace travel) colonization.

Beowulf is renowned for its medical technology, and for its tolerance of social/sexual behavior thought scandalous on some other planets. Beowulf has a strongly held libertarian approach to such matters. It is also where the Cherwell Convention and Beowulf Code originated.

Epsilon Eridani star system

;Epsilon Eridani star systemOrbiting "Epsilon Eridani" is the planet on which the Epsilon Eridani Massacre occurred. The Eridani Edict was created in response to that incident. It is a Solarian League system.

Old Sol

;Sol star system
Sol is the name of Earth's sun. It is the system of origin for humans in the Honorverse. It contains Earth, the planet of origin.

Earth is the capital of the Solarian League, and at the rough center of the sphere that the Solarian League encompasses. The nearest "wormhole" to Earth is the Sigma Draconis terminus to the Manticore wormhole junction.

Earth has suffered greatly in the history of the Honorverse, including the attempt by genetically engineered Ukranian Supermen to takeover in the Final War.

Dating in the Honorverse is Post Diaspora, dating from the exodus from Earth's problems in the centuries before the Final War.
