WhenDarrow O'Lykos returns to Luna with Sevro and the 7th Legion after the Iron Rain on Mercury, Harnassus remained on the planet with Orion and the rest of the Free Legions to guard the planet and battle the remainder of the Society Remnant's legions that were stranded on the surface when the Ash Armada retreated.[2]
When Darrow and Virginia discuss their future, she suggests that when her term as Sovereign ends in two years, she should let the torch pass to someone else, and that Darrow may consider handing the reins of the Republic military over to either Harnassus or Orion.[3]
When defending his decision to go ahead with the Iron Rain to the senate, Darrow tells Dancer that Harnassus supported his plan.[4]

After Darrow fled Luna when the senate ordered his arrest, Harnasses was formally appointed to replace him as ArchImperator. On the senate's orders, Harnassus sent half the fleet back to Luna over Orion's objections. When Darrow returned after rescuing Orion following her capture after the Battle of Caliban, Harnassus continued to recognize Darrow as his superior officer and serve as his Imperator.
