The ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruiser SLS '''''Hermes''''' was one of the [[Star League Defense Force]] naval [[WarShip]]s that survived the [[Hegemony Campaign]] to liberate [[Terra]] from the forces of [[Stefan Amaris]] and subsequently followed [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]], apparently under the command of [[Admiral]] [[Robert Nicholls]]. Among the [[DropShip]]s it carried was the ''[[Mule]]''-class ''[[Triptych Soliloquy]]''.<ref name=FFG>''Fall from Glory''</ref>

On 27 June [[2785]], the ''Hermes'' was scheduled to host an (unofficial) meeting to address civilian concerns about the fleet’s destination and schedule for arrival. The ship was noted to be packed with civilians, with a noticeable reek.

[[Andery Kerensky]] was duped into attending the meeting by "[[Jes Cole]]" (and implicitly his brother [[Nicholas Kerensky]]). Admiral Nicholls delivered a subtly critical speech and other speakers then made a political show of complaining about the particularly poor living conditions on the ''Triptych Soliloquy''. Andery Kerensky was cornered into voicing his sympathies, his words being twisted into a statement of support by Admiral Nicholls.<ref name=FFG/>

Andery Kerensky's presence would indeed turn out to have been engineered to orchestrate a rebellion. Some six weeks later the ''Hermes'' joined Admiral Votok of the ''[[Prinz Eugen]]'' in what would become known as the [[Prinz Eugen Mutiny]].<ref name=FFG/><ref name="FM:WCp133">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 133: "Circe Battle Star"</ref><ref name="TRO:3057p158">''Technical Readout: 3057 Revised'', p. 158: "Potemkin (Troop Cruiser)"</ref>

As of [[3061]], the ''Hermes'' had been renamed '''''Treachery''''' and was a [[WarShip]] within the [[Clan Snow Raven]] [[Clan Snow Raven Touman|''touman'']]. Serving as the CSR ''Treachery'', the ship was one of five WarShips that made up the [[Circe Battle Star (Clan Snow Raven)|Circe Battle Star]]. Like the other ships of the Circe Battle Star, including the ''Treachery's'' sister vessel, the [[Rook (Individual Potemkin-class WarShip)|CSR ''Rook'']], the ''Treachery'' was tasked with transporting personnel and matériel belonging to [[Clan Nova Cat]] from the [[Clan Homeworlds]] to the [[Inner Sphere]] at this point in time. The fact that the ''Treachery'' was the former SLS ''Hermes'' was a fact kept quiet by the Snow Ravens.<ref name="FM:WCp133"/>

After the Snow Ravens relocated to the [[Inner Sphere]], the ''Treachery'' was placed in orbit around [[Quatre Belle]]. There it served as the home of [[Facility 12-A]], producing OmniFighters for the Ravens. In the late [[3070]]'s however, most of Facility 12-A was removed from the ''Treachery'' and attached to the [[Quatre Belle ShipYard]] to form [[Crest Foundries]].<ref>''Objectives: The Clans'', p. 20</ref>

In or around [[3090]], the [[Raven Alliance]] found its need for a dedicated transport fleet of WarShips lessening, and Diamond Shark Khan Nagasawa saw an opportunity for a beneficial trade. In [[3091]] he proposed to [[Clan Snow Raven]] that four Diamond Shark WarShips be exchanged for four Snow Raven WarShips. This proved a contentious proposal for the warriors of the Snow Raven ''[[touman]]'', but ultimately the trade was agreed. The Diamond Sharks transferred four WarShips to the Snow Ravens—the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship ''[[Terror of the Deep]]'', the ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyers ''[[Tracy]]'' and ''[[Architeuthis]]'', and the ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class transport ''[[Kutkh|Swift Strike]]''—and in exchange received three ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruisers (the ''[[Epimetheus (Individual Potemkin-class WarShip)|Epimetheus]]'', ''Treachery'', and ''[[Wild Swan]]'') and the ''[[Volga]]''-class transport ''[[Scavenger (Individual Volga-class WarShip)|Scavenger]]''.<ref name="ER:3145p74">''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 74–76: "Alliance Naval Star"</ref><ref name="FM:3145p166">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 166: "The Alliance Fleet"</ref><ref name="FR:Cp18">''Field Report: Clans'', pp. 18–19: "Fleet Assets"</ref>

The Diamond Sharks evidently renamed the four ships, although it is unclear exactly what the four ships were renamed to. Three ''Potemkins'' were active amongst the various Khanates of [[Clan Sea Fox]] in the [[Dark Age]] with names previously unseen in canon, suggesting that the ''Epimetheus'', ''Treachery'' and ''Wild Swan'' correspond to these three ships, but this has yet to be confirmed. The three newly-detailed ''Potemkins'' are the ''[[Atlantean]]'', the [[ArcShip]] of the [[Skate Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Skate Khanate]], the ''[[Abyssal]]'', home to the Skate Khanate's [[Beta Aimag (Skate Khanate)|Beta Aimag]] and the ''[[Voidswimmer]]'', home to the [[Delta Aimag (Spina Khanate)|Delta Aimag]] of the [[Spina Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Spina Khanate]].<ref name="FM:3145p169">''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 169–170: "Clan Sea Fox"</ref>
