a senior officer of the Andermani Empire. Commodore Harrington When Harrington is captured by Haven en route to a new command in In Enemy Hands, the death sentence for the Basilisk Station action—delivered in absentia in a show trial under the pre-revolutionary government of old Haven—is ordered to be carried out by the new revolutionary regime. En route to the secret prison planet of Hades, Chief Petty Officer Horace Harkness, who pretended to be a turncoat, hacks into the ship's computers and stages a jail break when the People's Navy Ship (PNS) Tepes arrives in orbit. Honor loses an arm in the breakout, which costs the lives of a number of subordinates dear to her heart. However, her party manages to escape in two shuttles while using a third to destroy the Tepes, killing the most sadistic member of Haven's ruling triumvirate, Cordelia Ransom. Harrington's shuttles set down on the planet undetected, except by one officer, who informs her commander. He, appalled at Ransom's brutal treatment of Harrington during the voyage, keeps quiet and erases the record of the escape. As Echoes of Honor begins, assuming Harrington was also killed in the explosion, the PRH propaganda office releases a fake video recording of her "execution". As a result, simultaneous state funerals are staged for her on both Manticore and Grayson, while she is recuperating and formulating plans to take over the prisoner-of-war camps on Hades. She and her people eavesdrop on Hell's communications, contact and organize the prisoners and overthrow the guards. One shuttle is used to neutralize the People's courier boat in orbit, so no alarm is raised. Eventually, Harrington manages to capture sufficient PNS naval ships and transports to carry the well over 100,000 prisoners, including political and military figures Haven reported as having been executed, to freedom. They also take records and interviews revealing who was really behind the revolution and the bloody attack on the former government of the People's Republic of Haven. Admiral Harrington Forced to undergo extensive reconstructive surgery for the missing limb and re-rehabilitate the prior reconstructive surgery to her face and eye which the Peep guards had short circuited, Ashes of Victory sees the newly minted Duchess Harrington offered the opportunity to take charge of the alliance's premier naval academy at Saganami Island. She is jumped three grades in Manticorian service (skipping the ranks of rear admiral and vice admiral), giving her
