			==In the Honorverse==
			The merchant marine, whether of the [[Star Empire of Manticore]], the [[Republic of Haven Navy\|Republic of Haven]] or any other star nation, is a civilian industry. The ships are owned by private companies or individuals in free market societies. In places like the old People’s Republic of Haven, in which the government owned every major capital intensive business, the ships are government-owned and are operated by a civilian bureaucracy, usually associated with the Ministry of Trade or similarly named non-military agency.
			The merchant marine is also known as the merchant navy, mercantile marine, merchant service, or hansemarine (in the [[Andermani Empire]]). The people who work on the ships are referred to as merchant mariners or merchant spacers, never as merchant marines.

			The Royal Manticoran Merchant Marine, or RMMM, is comprised of [[Manticoran]] flagged merchant ships that transported cargo and people during times of both peace and war. The Royal Manticoran Merchant Marine is the single largest merchant navy in the galaxy. The hundreds of companies that own the thousands of ships that fly the Manticoran flag operate a wide variety of ships, from small 100,000 ton couriers to 8 megaton freighters with a crew of about 25, to passenger liners with crews of 600 that can carry up to 5,000 passengers. We serve the carrying trade not only between the Star Empire of Manticore and other star nations, but also within the many star systems of the Galaxy, including in the Solarian League.
