Committee of Public Safety (Honorverse)

The Committee of Public Safety, aka CPS or the Committee, governed the People's Republic of Haven (PRH) between mid-1905 and mid-1915 P.D. in the Honorverse. It is considered to be analogous to the Committee of Public Safety that ruled Revolutionary France.

Established by the Quorum after the Harris Assassination in 1905 P.D., the Committee was originally set up as a temporary caretaker, but never dismantled. Its reign was marked by great upheaval with purges in the military and civilian sectors. However, the economy improved as did the public education system.

• Leonard Boardman - Secretary of Public Information (1912-1914)
• Angela Downey - Secretary of Technology (1905-1914)
• Henry DuPres - (unknown position) (1905-1914(?))
• Admiral Esther McQueen - Secretary of War (1911-1914)
