Cordelia Ransom is a fictional character in David Weber´s Honorverse series of novels.
A citizen of the People's Republic of Haven, Cordelia Ransom was a leading member of a radical faction called the Citizens´ Rights Union.
Cordelia Ransom used the capture of Honor Harrington as a propaganda weapon against Manticore and personally took Harrington to her scheduled execution on the planet Hades, but she died during Harrington´s escape when her personal battlecruiser PNS Tepes was destroyed with all hands.

 - Chapter 7
He'd punched the buttons of expediency in the name of survival, embracing the rhetoric of people like Cordelia Ransom because it was the language the mob understood and he'd feared the mob.
Cordelia had recognized its need to see itself as the victim of enemies working perpetually for its downfall rather than admit the system it demanded work couldn't work, and she'd given it those enemies.
After half a T-century of total apathy and disinterest in whoever the Republic was conquering this month, the mob was willing—even eager—to defer demands for a higher BLS in order to finance the destruction of Manticore and all its works.

 Fictionwise eBooks: In Enemy Hands [Honor Harrington Series #7] by David Weber
Although she wipes out Ransom in the process, her latest exploit ends up as a true cliff-hanger, with Honor, minus an arm and an eye, and a hard core of 20 loyal followers marooned on a Havenite prison planet.
Ransom didn't, and that was why Pierre would never have given her the position Saint-Just occupied.
Cordelia's ministry had turned Trevor's Star into a sort of metaphorical redoubt for the entire People's Republic--the "line in the stars," the point from which no retreat could even be contemplated--despite his own suggestions that she might want to tone the rhetoric down just a bit.

For example, Queen Elizabeth could press for Ransom to be declared in violation of the Deneb Accords for the death of Nimitz (and the phony grounds for killing Honor).
