Star Kingdom of Manticore | Honor Harrington | Audio Log Pilot
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 май 2018
- In 2878, centuries after man’s diaspora to the stars began, 50,000 colonists left Earth aboard the sub-light hibernation starship Jason, bound for the Manticore Binary star system. This was the unassuming start to a nation that would one day stand amongst the mightiest powers in known space; the Star Kingdom of Manticore.
In Audio Log, the Templin Institute describes the alternate worlds that lack the visuals for a traditional investigation.

So its Britain in space. Was this made by a Brit because they are the only ones I'm aware of who put Royal in everything
The "Honorverse" is a novel series by David Weber (American, living in SC) - apparently he wanted to write a Horatio Hornblower series IN SPAAAAAAAACE!
I was wondering if you could put in the description as to what you are talking about or from which universe/lore/tv etc? Usually you have the source in the video title but this i was just googling star kingdom of manticore and then realised this was from a book series called honorverse. Anyway I hope it doesn't come across a bit condescending/nit picky.
Do the Solarian League or Republic of Heaven next =D both also from honor verse.
Or maybe the kingdom of torch, that might be interesting.
can we have more of the honor verse plese?
Let me introduce myself. My Name is John O'Donnell, and I "work" for BuNine, a group of Honorverse fans who work directly with David Weber to expand on the Honorverse beyond the scope of the novels. We are semi-official, in that we come up with stuff and David then approves or disapproves it. We are the ones who wrote the technical, political, and military organization section of House of Steel: The Honorverse Companion. My job with BuNine is to create 3D models of the ships, based on David's descriptions both in the books and in person.
These models are as close to book canon as is possible, based on David's descriptions. OTOH, they're not quite finished. I've been with BuNine for over 10 years, and in that time, the models have gone through many revisions, updates, and other changes. Where they are at for the moment is that the general layout and design is locked, but we are currently working on adding more fine detail. The only ships I have modeled are those that have line art in House of Steel up to the Agamemnon. Things are on hold right now due to most of us in BuNine having Real Lives, as well as some recent health issues on my part.
I've seen many commenters here asking about artwork, so here's a link to my Deviant Art page with my Honorverse meshes: maxxqbunine.deviantart.com/
You can also check out my YT channel for four videos I've made with my models. For other art, I recommend thomasthecat on Deviant Art: thomasthecat.deviantart.com/ He's another BuNine member who did the line art and color plates for House of Steel. His day job is doing art and models for Star Trek Online. Another Deviant art recommendation is Genkkis, who does the cover art for the French editions of the books: genkkis.deviantart.com/
Anyway, just thought I'd post a comment pointing out some decent Honorverse artwork.
Honor Harrington is probably the best, least known military sci-fi hero. She needs her own movie.
Let's be about it, Hollywood!
Dear god no. After watching what they did with other timeless franchises, I'd prefer to keep Honor off of the silver screen, thank you very much.
Please, no. That would be a terrible thing to do. I don't have a faith in Hollywood's ability to not butcher the story.
Considering how they butchered ghost in the shell... they already had all the visuals and still they botched it.
There was talk of a TV show once and Claudia Christain from Babylon 5 was going to be Honor but the idea never got anywhere
I mark out immediately when seeing Honor Harrington content, and especially from you, I was delighted to see this. HH basically introduced me to the idea of taking a sci-fi war in space seriously, and treating it as basically a historical event. Like, the feeling you get when reading is that you're seeing 'future history'.
just want to say you videos feel like the most professional scfi oriented videos i ever seen. i love them
I really appreciate the quality of the audio and the quality of the work that has gone into it. I also think this would be better as a podcast. I understand that this subject has very little art work.
For all of the people complaining that they need pictures please remember this is audio only by design.
I would LOVE to see something like this done; for a couple of hours, just talk about one fictional universe's various factions. Star Wars/Trek could be good pilots
Seems like asking for Honorverse in almost every single video paid off in the end so thank you!
Anything from the Honor Harrington universe is always very cool.
Today, October 29, 2020, being born in 1981, is the first time that I have heard of the Star Kingdom of Manticore. Reading through comments on the Templin Institute's collaboration with Eckhart on Halo's UNSC Navy, I saw someone mention the Honorverse, and type searching about the Honorverse eventually led me to this video.
Let's be about it
Absolutely LOVED the Honor Harrington series of novels! This takes me back a good 20 years. Thank you Templin Institute!
Like for treecats and specially Nimitz best companion ever.
They could do an entire video on Treecat Clans.
It's great to see this on Templin. The Honorverse is one of my favourite sci-fi universes. My only wish is that the video included some art. There's so much available, both official and fan made that could have really helped illustrate some of the elements in the video. I'd love to see an edit of this.
Finally the Honorverse, my favorite series of books.
OMG, mandatory upvote for Honor !
The tradition Lives
Why, Templin Institute, I had hoped of course, but I had never thought you would do it. You just made my week.Also for all the fans of the Honorverse in the comments, please don't ask for a movie, that could not possible be detailed or nuanced enough (unless of course you have an movie of at least 4 hours). If you have to ask for something, ask for a Netflix series. Then it would have enough time to explore the history, depth and motivations of the Honorverse adequately.Also, the next book in the series:'"Uncompromising Honor" is set for release in early october. And rumors suggest that it may be the final one in the series. (I have pretty mixed feelings about that one, but am looking forward to reading every word of it)
And I've recently read 'On Basilisk Station'. I'm already hooked on the Honor Harrington series. Great audio. Its a real shame there's not more art on the Honorverse outside of the book covers, which I assume is the reason for you doing this audio.
Thankyou once again Templin
Thank you for the high quality overview!
The Honor Harrington novels are among my favorite science fiction stories, and I'm very impressed that you took the time to make a video on the Star Kingdom of Manticore. Now I'm hoping for an overview of either the Protectorate of Grayson, or the People's Republic of Haven.
Your videos constantly impress, and I'm already looking forward to your next one.
Wow this is perfectly timed, I'm heading to a Honor Harrington convention today.
Thank you so much! The Honorverse definitely needs some love!
YESS! This is my absolute favorite series of all time! I'm so happy to have this.
thanks for doing the honorverse, this is what got me into far future grand scale scifi, military scifi and space opera
I like the requirement that the heir to the Manticoran throne HAS to marry a commoner, not an aristocrat.
"The greater danger, however, was the outbrake of a unique alian plague on Manitcore itself. The epidemic, while severe, was overlooked as a serious healthrisk until it mutated into a far deadlier variant and spread to neighboring Sphinx and Griffin. Successive mutations prevented any vaccine from easing the crisis...."
This line is giving me COVID anxiety.....
Thank you so much for this!! The Honor Harrington series does not get nearly enough attention.
I am very pleased to see you covering the Honor Harrington universe. The books series, by David Weber, is one of my favorites.
Nice to see one of my favorite book series showing up here.
I'd like to see this updated with all the issues that led to the evolution of the Star Kingdom into the Star Empire.
This was awesome!! Do Grayson or Haven next, PLEASE!!
Or the solarian leaque.
I agree with David on this Honor is much to involved for a movie it would be best served in a long running television series that would truly be incredible
Holy Shit Honor Harrington is getting some love.
WOOOOOO MANTICORE!!!! Love honor Harrington ^.^
This is one of the best space Opera ever written...maybe the best.
The first book of the serie is more an intro to the Universe David Weber created, but the following books have the greatest space battles i ever read.
My vote definitely goes to this. This is the only way we'll ever see a video for series like Cthulhutech and Temeraire.
I love this channel. God keep Manticore!
I really love the way these videos are produced as if you are peering into alternate realities and retelling their history
As Honor Harrington is one of my favorite series of MilSF books, I loved this... As for visuals, you know there are visuals out there... The wargame, the companion both come to mind...
You should do the SCP Foundation next it would fit perfectly for this style.
"...looked upon with envious eyes." Nice little connection to "War of the Worlds" there and allusion to future events.
Honor verse video? Yay.
Please do the People's Republic of Haven!
This is great! I'm a long time fan of the Honor Harrington books but this covered a lot of information about Manticore itself I never knew. Good work!
I've been waiting for this one, well done!!!!! Perfect set up for the the first book, On Basilisk Station.
Need more from this incredibly under rated series and universe. To date I have found nothing in science fiction as pleasurable to read or as believable in its science and realistically possibility of being attainable. Unlike universes like Star Wars which relies on a belief in a type of magic in the force, or Star Trek which requires suspension of belief in all known rules of physics.
With the Honorverse, David Weber and fellow co-authors of the various side stories made it a policy to keep the "science" in the novels as consistent as possible. That's why it's so enjoyable to read. Actually, Star Trek sort of had the same idea when Gene Roddenberry was in charge of/monitoring the production of the show.
Star Wars, while entertaining, has inconsistent in-universe science. As do many other science fiction universes.
Science doesn't have to be realistic and follow the laws of physics in reality as we know them in science fiction, it just has to be consistent. Compare "old" Star Trek (TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager) with the "new" Star Trek of Abrams and the new productions, for example.
Halfway through War of Honor right now! This is perfect!
So, I got the link to this from my boyfriend and had to squeal for five minutes first. I looove the Honor Harrington series and have been throwing it at pretty much everyone I know. Some thoughts; SPOILERS AHEAD but you should go read the books because they're good.
When does history become series present? I assume from the description of Queen Elizabeth as ''recently anointed' (or was it crowned, I may have been too excited to remember...) that it's early, maybe even, like, dropping you in just before the first book? Which also explains why (SPOILER) the Lynx terminus wasn't mentioned, as it's a pretty big plot point/spinoff. So, I'd love (looooove) to have another video/log of the 'Star *Empire* of Manticore' and the (SPOILER) war with Haven, Oyster Bay, and the Grand Alliance. The latter point will have to wait for David Weber to write it, but that's a minor detail for a fangirl!
I'd also like to see other Honorverse governments in audiologs at some point in the (probably far distant- that's ok, I'll wait!) future. The Republic of Haven would be good, the Andermani Empire would be a laugh and the Protectorate of Grayson (Maybe I'm the only one who wants that... I know that Religion and Sci-Fi Do Not Mix, but honestly... please!). Just offering more candidates for the polls!
Just a minor quibble, and a poorly articulated one at best... but I didn't think treecats were declared fully sentient until (SPOILER) Nimitz and Samantha learned sign language. Before that, it was more like the Sphinxian government treated the 'cats as 'minor children' (distinct from the Manticoran government's treatment of the Basilisk natives as 'minor children; to be given control of their world as soon as feasible'). And of course, the permission for Naval personnel to stay with their companions aboard ship.
Treecats were allowed on board ship decades before the attack on Basilisk in their first book.
Been waiting for this one. Thanks!
This series should be required reading when we have space navies
Something from Honor Harrington? Good times.
I like it. Good to hear of older, lesser known realities and societies.
Pretty impressive on how much content this channel has been able to produce in recent days.
Thank you for doing this I love the Honorverse!!...now if only we could get a movie.
As a member of the Royal Manticoran Navy, this is perfect.
What would the Templin Institute have to do to include images?
Dream come true. Thank you!
Absolutely Awesome Video. I've been waiting a long time for someone to do a video like this. Please do another on this subject in more depth. Specifically focusing on the history of the Royal Manticoran Navy.
Very good again! Your professionality amazes me in every single vid.
One small critique this time: there´s plenty of "free" artwork of the Honorverse. And I´m sure at least some of the artists that generally want money for their work had given you the rights to publish some of their work for free in this case.
So happy to see you cover this superb series of books! It's still one of my favorite sci-fi universes.
HOW DO I LIKE THIS MORE PLEASE TELL ME!! Thank you so much for doing this video this is probably one of the most underrated sci-fi series.
Technically it is now the Star 'Empire' of Manticore.
Been waiting for this one... Thank you! Love David Weber's books and it is nice to see them getting some more recognition. also NAC? The Culture? more from my favorite series; I know what I'm voting for.
I'm so glad you are giving attention to a book series. The quality of your videos is unbeatable. Thank you for making them!
You know, there was a comic of this not that long ago. While not enough, you could’ve used some of the pages and panels for some visual material. At the very least on the treecats.
So far, in order from most to least desired, it’s Atlas, Audio Log, and Bestiary.
That order lines up with mine perfectly.
The comics took a few too many liberties with the source material in regards to visual aesthetics.
Mongler37 yeah if i remember it correctly Nimitz changed into a more lizardlike being... that had been a little too much
Omg I love the Honorverse :D
More Harrington! \o/
Amazing! Please do one for the Republic of Haven!
Honestly never heard about this series until now. Definitely will take a read!
All we need is a Short Victorious War.
I never knew you did David Weber. This is totally awsome !!! Also ty there was some lore that i never saw. It was not in the novels iirc. Have you ever considered a deep dive into the Live free or die universe? Its a good book series and if you read it i doubt you will come up for air till you finish it. Too bad that it has not been continued.
I"m still quietly crossing my fingers hoping for book 4 to come along with a satisfying conclusion.
Great video, will you be doing an update for the Empire of Manticore, that was established later? Also a video about the Republic of Haven would be great.
Sweet! Honor Harrington! Woot!
This may seem bad. I have read all of the books and spin-offs, but this video really helped clear up a lot of questions I had that I just never got from the material. Thanks!
Love this new audio log thing!
I was totaly wrong!!!... I like this a lot 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🖖🏽🖖🏽🖖🏽!!!
This is great. You should do: the Imperial Radch, The Laundry, The Polity.
I give you Steadholder Harrington......AND DAMNATION TO THE PEEPS!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, you've just made my day 😊
Wasn’t it People’s Republic of Haven? It didn’t drop the People’s part until much later in the series. That’s why they were called Peeps by Manticorans.
Charly Thompson Yes, but it was People’s Republic of Haven during the events mentioned in the video.
I Love the format of this channel.
I did not realise the institute had already made a Manticore video
I JUST started reading the Honor Harrington series and, as a long time subcriber, I must say this was a pleasant surprise and a joy to discover!
I like how you uses the Homeworld noises for your intro. I've always found those beeps and bloops a very attractive and quaint set of sounds, and it's good to hear them in use again
Very nice. I've seen a lot of Manticore on TV tropes, but finally getting a description of the lore is great.
Can't wait to see what the first debate will be. If I understand the concept right, I hope the first will be Geth v. Quarians.
Manticore was originally a Greek monster of myth. But this is a faction from a book series which is actually awesome. I highly suggest you read it
the books are available free online except the most recent three or so. You should read them; they're fantastic.
Bethany Humphrey
The first few books are great. An I have for a time considred myself a fan of the series.
But with the more recent books, I have lost most of my intrest. While I was able to - mostly - tollerate the marry-sue status of the Star Kingdom of Manticore, Webers shift from interesting "in the trenches" stories to the big picture and thus the tendency of more and more of the - fingerquotes - "action" now taking place in fucking confrence rooms and back offices as thrown me off.
yeah, the shift from military scifi to political thriller is a bit jarring. I also have issues with the time skip that glazes over immediately post-Cromarty assassination and the rise of High Ridge. But if you can get into the Shadow of Saganami and Crown of Slaves subseries' you get the naval action back. And it's realistic; admirals who win battles get kicked upstairs.
It's not even the naval battles I miss that much, it's just general people DOING something instead of just talking.There is a part in one of the last main books, where the plot jumps more than half a dozen times between people sitting in confrence rooms and talking without somuch as some bloke fixing the bloody coffee maker inbetween.
There is other stuff that started to go on my nerves as well.
Been waiting for his one!
I can tell this is going to be my favorite of the bunch. My imagination went crazy with this. Love your guys work. ☺
THANK YOU!!!
The Foundation?
Sounds like the British space empire
I mean they're not very subtle about The Star Kingdom of Manticore is a constitutional monarchy who's flag is an English lion and a welsh dragon with a formidable royal navy and a house of lords and a house of commons and monarch called Queen Elizabeth the 3rd.
Lol you don't say?
Pretty much. It has been described as Horinto Hornblower In Space, and the three planets are similar to the three countries of the UK. Manticore is Britain, Gryphon is Scotland, and Sphinx is Ireland
@@rogerw5299 and Haven is supposed to be Revolutionary France. With a Soviet touch.
@@rogerw5299 spinx seems more Irish/welsh
I am soooo excited to see this : )
Once again, a very awesomely made video. Your voice really is relaxing. But please, we need pictures!!! Keep up with the good work!!!
I adore how fast I'm watching this channels sub counts grow
Amazing Video
Honor Harrington and the Honorverse would make an really great TV series. It would be a better source of entertainment than Star Trek's latest attempts at reinvigorating that series. Manticore reminds me of the British Empire or America, while their enemies remind me of Russia and China.
I think Audio Log might be one of the better pilots to pick, just because it always books and such to added onto the Templin roster.
This is so funny I’ve been listening to that series on audible and I’ve watched your channel for about 5 years how did I just find this video
Not really sci fi but i want an audio log for the city of nightvale
gabriel marquez That would be... interesting.
seconded
They've done a ton of fantasy before, it doesn't have to be Sci-Fi
oh fuck yes
For Honor. For Nimitz. For Celery.
woo, one of the best sci fi book series
Love the topics you guy hit on. I've read the authors (Dave Weber) other series (Starfire) but only some of the books from this series.
Mesa Alignment for the next Honor Harrington entry please :D
@@JamesSavik I think going into detail on torch or mesa would lead to too many spoilers.
THE TRUDITON LIVES!!!
While never read the books, was aware of the universe in general.
The segment was interesting.
Didn't think there was much video or artwork out there, music was good.
Any chance you could do more of these for the Honorverse?
