The ''Tsume'' was originally a JumpShip with the [[Ninth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]] when they staged a raid against [[Mara]] in [[3013]] as essentially a training exercise. Over the course of the fighting the defending Kell Hounds' [[DropShip]] ''[[Lugh]]'' moved out to the JumpShip at the zenith [[jump point]] under the pretense of mutiny and indicated they wanted to surrender. However, upon docking with the JumpShip the ''Lugh'' released anesthetic gas into the ''Tsume'' where the Sun Zhang cadet crew had gathered to accept their surrender. The ''Tsume'' was captured and, now under the command of [[Janos Vandermeer]], was renamed ''Cucamulus''. He remained in command through [[3029]].<ref>''The Kell Hounds'', pp. 27-29</ref>

The ''Cucamulus'' and Vandermeer were present on [[The Rock]] for the initial encounter with the Clans in [[3049]] and her fate is unknown. However, Vandermeer's presence on [[Sudeten]] in [[3050]] during planning for the [[Battle of Twycross (3050)|Battle of Twycross]] suggests they managed to escape capture by [[Clan Wolf]].<ref>''Lethal Heritage'', Ch. 8</ref><ref>''Lethal Heritage'', Ch. 31</ref>
