As one brief remark for today, which sf series am I describing? -
there is a threat of rebellion in an interstellar civilization;
the heroine of a novel dies violently;
she is subsequently canonized.
Clue: The blog title is "Saints," not "Saint," so look for two series answering this description.
Addendum: 512 pageviews by midnight.

Good, 512 blog visits by midnight! I can only urge readers who see this to drop by and leave their own remarks! I would greatly enjoy it if someone commented on what I say here, and I won't be offended if they disagreed with me.
First saint: you plainly had St. Kossara Vymezal, whom we see in Anderson's A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS. St. Kossara was crucial in preventing her home planet of Dennitza from sparking a civil war inside the Empire if it had rebelled against it (and the rebellion was being instigated by Merseia).
Second saint: you meant Jon Remillard, who became St. Jack the Bodiless. Whom we see in Julian May's JACK THE BODILESS. Jon Remillard, along with his wife Diamond Mask, was important in preventing the Metapsychic Revolt led by his brother Marc from wrecking the Galactic Milieu.

Sean,
A curious parallel between two series.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
Once you pointed it out, I agree.
