The destroyer Hawkwing; the cruiser Fearless; the heavy cruiser Nike; the, ah, armed merchantman (Q-ship) Wayfarer. The sixth vessel is the ESN (Elysian Space Navy) Farnese, which Honor commanded as the newly formed ESN fought it's way out of the PRH's prison system.

The ability to read a person's thoughts is called telepathy.
The ability to affect an object mentally is telekenetics.
The ability to tell the future is clairvoyance.

6. What is the Silesian Confederacy known for?

Answer: Piracy and corruption

There may be more corrupt systems in the Honorverse, but nowhere suffers more from lack of central government control over the provincial governors who are in cahoots with the pirates that prey on all merchantmen travelling the Confederacy's spaceways.

Answer: Amos Parnell

Bukato would have been Chief of Naval Operations had not the People's Committee dropped the title (if not the workload).

Caperelli was the Manticoran First Lord of the Admiralty.

8. Why did Samantha take the kittens with her to Grayson?

Answer: The treecats wanted an off-world population 'just in case'.

Thanks to Honor's association with Nimitz and Samantha the 'cats are aware of the powerful weapons the two-legs have available and can recognise their destructive powers...

LACs can only be carried between systems by larger ships as they don't have the volume to hold a hyperdrive.

Third Fleet is tasked with the defence of Trevor's Star after its capture.
