#0, A Day of Infamy question
Posted by Malkarris on Jan-05-11 at 03:18 AM
:waves: 'lo all. First (or maybe second) time poster, long time reader, usually a lurker, but I had a question about A Day of Infamy that I was hoping someone could answer seeing as the story seems to be missing, for revisions/rewriting I assume.

During the fleet assignment scene, with Gryphon giving out orders on who is going where, I seem to remember Honor Harrington, Miles Naismith (Vorkosigan?), and someone else being sent to one sector of space. All I remember is that I though at the time that sending Honor, Miles, and whoever the third was would result in the sector being a nav hazard for the next century. Assuming my mind is not making this scene up, who was the third fleet commander that made up this completely overpowered trio? Its been driving me nuts... Well, more than I usually am.

Thanks.

I think I remember that scene - I want to say it was one of the Freespacer contributions to the GATO task forces and it included Aya Nakajima.

Gryphon did take Infamy down because he said he wanted it to match better with the material that came after it. I can't find the original announcement but he clarified it here. http://www.eyrie-productions.com/Forum-docs/DCForumID1/2055.html

I did save a copy of the original. Is this the line you are thinking of?

CFMF Strategic Fleet, the Barrayaran Imperial Service, and the
Manticore Star Navy would clear out Enigma Sector; after much
discussion, overall operational command of this force went to Kris
Overstreet, who accepted with less than perfect grace.

As is somewhat evidenced by who was put in command of that fleet, I recall that Kris mentioned in one of the UF forums that the Manticore Star Navy and any references to it were his additions, to basically act as third-party fleets allied to the Freespacers, but wouldn't receive any actual screen-time or serious roles. If I remember right, Gryph wasn't overly fond of David Weber, but I could be mistaken.

Yeah, I guess that was it, my mind must have been playing tricks with me about the actual names being there. Thanks all for the help.

Naismith/Vorkosigan is mentioned as being a freespacer, Harrington wasnt though another RMN officer was in the past (You elected HIM as fleet admiral???) so its understandable where the confusion began\

His father, Admiral Aral Vorkosigan, was also mentioned in another story as being the Freespacer Ambassador to the Federation, and the individual who delivered the diatribe before the Freespacers withdrew and became PNG in Federation space.
