In October 1913 PD, PNS KutuzovThe ship was likely named after Field Marshal Prince Mikhail Kutuzov, a prominent Russian military leader in the Napoleonic Wars. joined a reinforcement squadron commanded by the senior StateSec officer in the Shilo Sector, Major General Prestwick Thornegrave, which had been sent to the recently-recaptured Seabring System to secure the system against either a Manticoran counterstrike or an uprising. (HH8)
As with all other units of General Thornegrave's squadron, Kutuzov was compelled to surrender after entering orbit of the planet Hades for a scheduled stop, as the planetary garrison had been previously overpowered by an uprising led by Admiral Honor Harrington. Unable to evade the rebel-controlled planetary defenses of Hades, Kutuzov surrendered with the rest of the StateSec squadron.
After her surrender, Kutuzov was incorporated to the so-called "Elysian Space Navy", and Captain Harriet Benson was named her commanding officer. ()
Kutuzov participated in the Battle of Cerberus which resulted in the destruction of General Seth Chernock's entire task force. After the battle, Kutuzov and the rest of the Elysian Space Navy embarked as many former inmates as she could and left the Cerberus System to join the Allied forces in Trevor's Star.
Shortly arriving at Trevor's Star, ENS Kutuzov and the rest of the ESN's ships was incorporated into the brand-new "Protector's Own Squadron" of the Grayson Space Navy. ()
