[[caption-width-right:315: Move over, Tribbles. The Klingons have a new adorable furry menace to conquer!]]

''Honor of ___'' is a ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' Foundry mission series by Tropers/{{sirboulevard}} that starts with a conspiracy on Ferasa and eventually reveals a plot of divide and conquer against the Klingon Empire. The first mission of the series, [[http://community.arcgames.com/en/news/star-trek-online/detail/3032073-spotlight-on-the-foundry "Honor of Ferasa"]], was released on December 23, 2013 and quickly earned a place as an STO Spotlight Mission in the rather rapid time of a single month (in fact, it became the spotlight mission for the 4th Aniversary, giving it publicity next to the then new featured episode "A Step Between Stars"). "Honor of Orions" was released on February 20, 2014. "Honor of the Empire" was released February 28th, 2014 and has since gained higher ratings than "Honor of Ferasa."

The story follows the player after the Ferasan Patriarchy contacts the High Council and the Romulan Republic regarding a mysterious incident involving Orions; an exiled rogue Ferasan clan, the Shiassi; and stolen biological samples from New Romulus. Along the way, the player and Ambassador S'taass find themselves trapped in a dangerous, deep, [[{{Narm}} if almost comical in nature]] conspiracy that threatens to destroy the Klingon Empire.

The series wildly swings on the SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness starting very serious, getting silly, then serious and so on until becoming deadly serious towards the end of "Honor of Orions" and staying that way through the finale.

[[folder: Series-wide Tropes]]
* AdaptationExpansion: Originally, "Honor of Ferasa" was meant to be a one-shot story. The villains and supporting characters were so compelling that combined with high reviews, 2 sequels were put into planning.
%%* {{Ambadassador}}: S'taass and Jilia.
%%* TheAlcoholic: S'taass.
%%* BigBad: The Shiassi clan of Ferasans in general.
%%* CatFolk: The Ferasans and the Caitians.
%%* EnergyWeapon: [[spoiler:Attached to the heads of small woodland animals and cephalopods.]]
%%* FacePalm: A standard reaction to the mutants.
%%* FluffyTheTerrible: [[spoiler:Mutant Epohhs and other wildlife.]]
%%* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: The Orions. [[spoiler: Melani D'ian actually hides herself as one for a private intelligence operation.]]
* NoTranshumanismAllowed: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig Zagged]], the Ferasans are augements, but the Shiassi take it to the next level up to including flame sacks, telekinesis, and venom sacks. The other Ferasans felt a more conservative approach is necessary.
* RuleOfCool: The series ''breathes'' this trope. If it was a Federation or Romulan mission, no one would take it seriously. Klingons fighting Fire-Breathing Epohhs and Cat-people? '''''AWESOME.'''''
%%* SceneryPorn: Ferasa, Club Quv Bel, and the Qo'Nos Coffee Shop.
* ShamefulStrip: Part of (unseen) Ferasan exiles' punishment. Individuals are left with nothing but their bodies alive and unharmed. Averted in practice, but still part of the punishment for exiling entire clans. They are left their clothes but it is only to reinforce what they are losing. Within a year or two most clans are naked (no way to obtain replacement cloth) and feral, [[RuleOfSymbolism the deterioration of clothes resembling the dissolution of the Clan's civility]]. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness The fact this ''didn't'' happen to the Shiassi was a warning sign to the Patriarchy]].
%%* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagged.]]
* SupportingProtagonist: Ambassador S'taass, to make up for the Gorn not having a dedicated episode to themselves. Instead, S'taass helps paves the way [[spoiler: for the Ferasans and the other vassal races to earn membership on the High Council]].
* TwoPartTrilogy: Fereseans was meant as a solo episode and can stand alone. The following two are not as self-contained.
%%* WhatTheHellHero: All over the place.

[[folder: "Honor of Ferasa" Tropes]]
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: The Ferasan the player speaks with at the sign-in desk speaks of one botched augmentation attempt where a Ferasan grew big enough to [[ImprovisedWeapon use a shuttlecraft as a makeshift club]].
* ADayInTheLimelight: For the Ferasans, who have yet to get any screentime devoted to them in the main game.
* EvilPlan: [[spoiler: Use genetically modified pets from New Romulus to create a mutant army.]] In a rare case, its valid.
* MirroringFactions: Its made clear early on that the Ferasan clans behave similarly to the Klingon Great Houses. However, they can be just as sneaky as Romulans due to their Felinoid nature.
* SceneryPorn: Ferasa's capitol city is a very well redressed Defera map. Also notable in that its mostly seen out of windows.
%%* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The Orion ambassador has this reaction when accused of being a Syndicate spy during the conference.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** The Ferasans gave one of these to the Shiassi clan. Eventually they were thrown into exile with no supplies.
** Ferasan players can give an epic one to Zekah the Depraved about how the Ferasans are doing much better thanks to the KDF.
** {{Subverted|Trope}} with the speech that the player, Jilia and S'taass give to the Shiassi Patriarch. They think he's ''stoned'' for coming up with this plan.

%%* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: The entire section in the player's ready room.
* AlcoholHic: One occurs in the background by a drunk gorn passed out on a table in the nightclub.
* TheCavalry: Subverted. S'taass beams over a team to help on your away mission, but they end up on the other side of a window where they can't do anything. [[spoiler:Except be slaughtered by mutants. S'taass [[HeroicBSOD bluescreens]] from the loss - and absurdity - when he sees what happened.]]
* ContinuityNod: The nods indicate the location of the mission chronologically. It's post-discovery of the Solanae Dyson Sphere but pre-"A Step Between Stars".
%%* TheDogWasTheMastermind: Or rather, the Orion slavegirl was [[spoiler:Melani D'ian]].
%%* EasterEgg: Several in the nightclub.
%%* HeelFaceTurn: The Orions. Sorta. [[spoiler: They [[SubvertedTrope never were a heel]].]]
* InterspeciesAdoption: [[spoiler:S'taass adopted a Shiassi orphan who was exiled by the clan by refusing further modification. She's now on the player's crew.]]
%%* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:The Shiassi.]]
* OrphansOrdeal: Niaru Urwau basically explains what happens when a Ferasan individual is exiled. It involves a ShamefulStrip and being left outside in the rain with no possessions, no way to obtain food legally and only your life.

%%* WhamLine: [[spoiler: "There is a red flag on this file."]]

** The mission opens mere days after ''Honor of Orions'' and is heavily built up on it.
* FinalBattle: Occurs in the Klingon Great Hall.
%%* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Not a traditional example, but S'taass gives this as his reason for standing up to J'mpok and the Klingons.
* OhCrap: [[spoiler: "Sir, that wasn't the Ambassador's ship! It was a hologram masking a gravetic mine. We're disabled!"]]
* PunBasedTitle: One of the mission stages is titled "Ferasan and Loathing".
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Not given to the villain. [[spoiler: ''Given to the '''KLINGONS''' by '''S'taass!''''' ]]
%%* StandardStarshipScuffle: ''Over Qo'noS'' no less!
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: [[spoiler: S'taass taking advantage of the situation to give non-Klingons equal rights.]]
