Sigma Draconis (Honorverse)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sigma Draconis is a star system in the Honorverse.
Around Sigma Draconis is the planet Beowulf. Sigma Draconis hosts a wormhole terminus for 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.
Sigma Draconis and Beowulf are members 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 (as opposed to the Battle Fleet or the Frontier Fleet), and form a reserve force akin to the United States' National Guard.
The Sigma Draconis terminus is the closest wormhole transit to Old Sol and Old Earth, the capital of the League.
Beowulf is renown for its medical technology, and lax moral standards. It is also where the Cherwell Convention and Beowulf Code originated.
