It is home to magnificent cities. Its planets' oceans and seas--and skies--are open to its people, yet they have maintained the beauty and the magnificence of their natural habitats. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But that was not always true. Pioneers, especially \u003ci\u003einterstellar\u003c\/i\u003e pioneers, must be tough, smart, and self-reliant, and the people who built the Star Kingdom knew that. They prepared carefully for their enormous voyage, incorporated every measure they could think of, and even so, their new worlds did their best to kill them all. They very nearly succeeded, as the Plague Years pushed the human interlopers to the very brink of survival, forcing them to grow and change in ways they never could have anticipated. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the process, they became the people who could one day produce Honor Harrington, Elizabeth Winton, and the remarkable people willing to stand in the path of the People's Republic of Haven's insatiable advance . . . and then to \u003ci\u003eally\u003c\/i\u003e with the Republic when both of them learned who their true enemy was.
