Three vessels within the Storm Crow Naval Pursuit Star took fleeing civilians from Galedon as ''[[isorla]]'' only to subsequently discover that the civilians had brought the [[Curse of Galedon]] with them - an [[Age of War]] bioweapon later identified as [[XCON-73]] that had been unleashed accidentally during an earlier conflict on the planet. Not only were the civilians infected, but XCON-73 was also being carried through the ventilation systems on all three ships. The three infected ships - the ''Mountbatten'', ''Nestling'' and ''Storm Crow'' - were declared as targets of a [[Trial of Annihilation]] by [[Star Admiral]] [[Troy McKenna]], the senior officer among the uninfected vessels. The ''Nestling'' immediately vented her holds into space, killing all the civilians aboard, but McKenna's forces pressed the attack; the Captains of all three infected ships fought back, but the ''Ark Royal'' and the ''Kerensky's Hope'' prevailed, disabling or destroying all three ships.<ref name="WoRp43"/>

Having survived the [[Wars of Reaving]] and the [[Jihad]], the ''Kerensky's Hope'' was one of the WarShips to be reactivated by the Snow Ravens during the [[Dark Age]]. In [[3145]] the ''Kerensky's Hope'' was a part of the [[Conqueror Naval Star (Clan Snow Raven)|Conqueror Naval Star]], which consisted of the ''Kerensky's Hope'', the ''Conqueror''-class carrier ''[[Conqueror (Individual Conqueror-class WarShip)|Conqueror]]'', the ''[[Thera]]''-class carrier ''[[Raven's Nest]]'', the ''Storm Crow'' and the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser ''[[Lord Death]]''.<ref name="FM:3145p166">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 166, "The Alliance Fleet"</ref> As part of the Conqueror Naval Star in 3145 the ''Kerensky's Hope'' was operating from [[Kirbyville]] as part of [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Snow Raven)|Beta Galaxy]].<ref name="FM:3145p173">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 173, "Beta Galaxy (Storm Crow Galaxy)"</ref>
