Vor of Barrayar

The Vor of Barrayar are a fictional military caste and essentially aristocracy of the planet Barrayar in the sci-fi book series the Vorkosigan Saga.On Barrayar, there exist two sets of people: the Vor and everyone else, occasionally referred to in the books as plebes or proles. Vor status is considered genetic, hereditary, and inescapable. All Vor surnames begin with the syllable Vor-, often prefixed to a recognizable surname from some Earth nation (e.g. Vorsmythe).
