The head of that Komarr expedition was Aral Vorkosigan, aka the ‘ Butcher of Komarr’. In recent years, Barrayar has taken on a very aggressive colonizing stance, and is infamous for the bloodbath on the planet of Komarr. Barrayaran empire is aristocratic, military-led and patriarchal (and strangely reminiscent of ancient Russian empire). In fact, Barrayar is very different from Beta. Beta is a peace-loving world, which is much more scientifically advanced than other systems - like Barrayar. Cordelia’s Honor is actually an omnibus edition of two books: Shards of Honor (1986) and Barrayar (1991), and won the Hugo and the Locus Awards for best novel in 1992.Ĭommander Cordelia Naismith is the head scientist for an expedition from Beta Colony to study life forms in other planetary systems.
