'''The Most Noble Order of the Star Kingdom''' (''abbrev'': '''OSK''') is a [[dynastic order]] of the [[Star Kingdom of Manticore]].  There are no known recipients of this order within the Honorverse canon. The only mention is that [[Bridgadier-General]] [[honorverse:Stephanie Harrington | Dame Stephanie Harrington]] was offered this honor and declined it.<ref>{{HHA2.2}}</ref>
 
==TRMN Information==
Appointment to this order is awarded to recognize extraordinary and pre-eminent achievement or merit in service to the Honorverse or TRMN at large. Those awarded this order are permitted to use the prefix ‘[[Sir]]’ or ‘[[Dame]]’ and the post nominal letters of ‘KSK’. This order comes in only one class, Knight, and is hereditary (can be passed to the eldest offspring upon the death of the knight).<ref name="aman2014">[http://www.trmn.org/portal/index.php/documents/finish/4-general/92-rmn-5-002-awards-manual TRMN Bureau of Personnel Awards Manual 2014 Edition]</ref>
 
The Order of the Star Kingdom was first awarded 3 August 2013 at [[Shore Leave 35]] in Hunt Valley, MD.  At the end of the TRMN Annual General Meeting, an investiture ceremony was held in which David Weber and Martin Lessem were each in turn invested with a blue velvet mantle embroidered with the star of the order and then were dubbed with a sword.  The sword used was of [[Grayson]] design and had been custom made for presentation to Weber.  [[Lady]] Sharon Rice-Weber, then-Duchess of Leutzen Vale, stood in for the sovereign and dubbed David Weber.  David Weber then dubbed Lessem.
