Manticore (Honorverse)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manticore is a fictional planet from the Honorverse, a series of books written by David Weber and published by Baen Books.

It is the 3rd planet of Manticore A (Manticore-A III), one of the binary stars of the Manticore system. Now named Manticore, it is the capital of the Star Kingdom of Manticore. The capital city is Landing City.

Although it is much like Old Earth, long years (1 terran year (T-year) equals approximately 0.6 Manticore year) and extended seasons required small adjustments compared to the indigenous disease it harbored. This plague had killed over 60% of the colonists (almost 90% of those born on Old Earth).

HMSS Hephaestus is in permanent orbit around the planet.
