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"<ref name="HoS">{{HoS}}</ref>.  It's current commanding officer is [[CAPT|Captain]] Aaron J Davis, [[MC]], [[OE]], [[GSN]].

==History==
==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<ref name="HoS">{{HoS}}</ref>. 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.  
Protector Benjamin Mayhew IX established the Protector's Own in 1914PD, using as its core the warships and volunteers of the Elysian Space Navy. The crews of the Elysian Space Navy were former State Security prisoners of war who escaped Cerberus System under the command of Admiral Harrington. Every member was offered a position in the Protector's Own, and nearly one hundred sixty thousand accepted. Like service members in the Grayson Space Navy, members of the Protector's Own are entitled to Grayson citizenship following six years of honorable service.  


==Enlistment in the Protector's Own==
In recognition of Fleet Admiral Harrington, its commanding officer, the emblem of the Protector's Own is a flame-enshrouded salamander.
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==
All Protector's Own Officers and general spacers make their oath to the Protector, as do all members of the GSN, but the Protector's Own has been established as a separate service branch, legally coequal to the Grayson Space Navy, the Grayson Army, and Grayson Planetary Security. A recruitment office run at the direction of the Protector on Mayhew Steading reviews applications and administers qualification testing quarterly.<ref name="HoS">{{HoS}}</ref>
Within {{trmn}}, 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 {{trmn}}.


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.

Reporting to: High Admiral

The Protector's Own Squadron is a special squadron under the direct command of the Protector of Grayson which exists coequal to the Grayson Space Navy.[1]

History

Protector Benjamin Mayhew IX established the Protector's Own in 1914PD, using as its core the warships and volunteers of the Elysian Space Navy. The crews of the Elysian Space Navy were former State Security prisoners of war who escaped Cerberus System under the command of Admiral Harrington. Every member was offered a position in the Protector's Own, and nearly one hundred sixty thousand accepted. Like service members in the Grayson Space Navy, members of the Protector's Own are entitled to Grayson citizenship following six years of honorable service.

In recognition of Fleet Admiral Harrington, its commanding officer, the emblem of the Protector's Own is a flame-enshrouded salamander.

All Protector's Own Officers and general spacers make their oath to the Protector, as do all members of the GSN, but the Protector's Own has been established as a separate service branch, legally coequal to the Grayson Space Navy, the Grayson Army, and Grayson Planetary Security. A recruitment office run at the direction of the Protector on Mayhew Steading reviews applications and administers qualification testing quarterly.[1]
