The Protector's Own is a special fleet formed as a part of the Grayson Space Navy. The Protector's Own's crest shows the Salamander owing to the nickname of Honor Harrington, the motto is her regular phrase of "Let's Be About it"[1]. It's current commanding officer is Brigadier General Christopher Bayonet, KCE, OG, RMMC.

History

The Protector's Own was established by Protector Benjamin Mayhew IX from the ships of the Elysian Space Navy. Service in the Protector's own for more then six years will gain a foreign member Grayson citizenship[1]. This was in part to solve the problem of Honor Harrington creating her own force which is much larger than the 50 armsmen a Steadholder can commission.

Enlistment in the Protector's Own

The Protector's Own remains open to any steader or foreigner who wishes to apply and passes the strict entry criteria. It functions independently to the main Grayson Space Navy and is often given orders directly by the Protector.

TRMN

Within The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc., assignment to the Protector's Own is one of the highest honors for members of the Grayson Space Navy and Allied navies. A recruitment is conducted each year for that years "class", and applications are reviewed by a panel. Appointment to The Protector's Own doesn't require the member to leave other ships, but it is counted as an honor society much like HMS Unconquered (CL-16) is for the Royal Manticoran Navy and the Royal Manticoran Marine Corps. Differently from some of the other similar groups, as the Protector's Own was formed by people from multiple services, this has continued with it's membership within The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc..

An annual command triad consisting of a Commanding Officer, Executive Officer and Bosun are appointed. They are responsible for the update of the list with billets as crewmembers select them.
