Knute Kurita was an officer serving in the Rasalhague KungsArmé on the eve of the Clan Invasion.
History[edit]
A distant relation to the ruling family of the Draconis Combine, Knute was the son of Mies Kurita. Like every member of his family going back generations, Knute grew up in the Rasalhague Military District. When Rasalhague declared its independence in 3034, his loyalties were torn between his liege lord on distant Luthien and his friends, family, and upbringing.
Knute took part in the fight against renegade ronin units, and later joined the newly established KungsArmé.[1]
He attained the rank of Överste in 3046, and by 3050 was the commander of the First Freemen regiment, stationed on Last Frontier.[2]
The First Freemen faced the Clan juggernaut in June 3050 when Clan Ghost Bear attacked Last Frontier during their third invasion wave. Outnumbered and outmatched from the start by the Bear's elite First Bear Guards and Silveroot and Ourse Keshiks, the fanatical First Freemen fought to the last man, extracting a heavy price for their defeat after a lucky strike mortally wounded Bear saKhan Theresa DelVillar.[3][4][5]
It is likely that Knute Kurita died along with his unit.[citation needed]
