The Honorverse refers to a series of military science fiction Novels by David Weber.

Honorverse technology

Honorverse drive technology is somewhat unusual, using artificial gravity fields known as Impeller Wedges for acceleration. Said Drives create an effectively impenetrable field above and below the craft. They can also protect the sides of their ship using sidewalls, less robust versions of the Impeller Wedge able to destroy any matter which comes through it and disrupts directed energy (such as energy beams) to a lesser degree.

The primary spacecraft weapons of the Honorverse are Grasers and missiles equipped with X-Ray Pumped warheads launched in massive salvos.

The Honorverse on SD.net

The Honorverse is fairly well known among the military science fiction community and verses debates involving Honorverse powers such as the Star Kingdom of Manticore or the People's Republic of Haven or Honorverse warships are fairly common. While not being able to stand up to the like of major Star Wars factions, the major powers in the Honorverse will perform well against factions such as the United Federation of Planets or the main Babylon 5 (series) powers.

While appreciated for space combat and world building, the Honor Harrington series of Novels is often criticized for its political positions and character interactions (most notably the protagonist generally being classified Mary Sue).
