The Horizon Project
In 2381, Admiral Harold Anton put Rutledge in charge of the Horizon Project, a Starfleet research project based on creating a folded space drive. By 2382, the project was read for field tests, and Rutledge formerly requested the use a ship from Admiral Dustin McCloud, who leaned towards declining the request, until Admiral Anton approved it, giving Rutledge his choice of ships from the fleet. Annoyed by this, McCloud and Admiral Pavoc assigned Janice Pelar to "supervise" Rutledge handle of the new starship which would bare the name Horizon. ("Horizon")

Stranded
While aboard the USS Horizon (NCC-91901), Rutledge, along with the rest of the crew, became lost in an unknown part of space when the Horizon had to make a jump while under attack from Breen forces. Since the ship's commanding officer, Captain Gavin Pryce, died during the Breen attack, Rutledge promoted Commander Jack Keller to the post of commanding officer. He then asked all of the crew to "get behind and support him during this tough time." ("Jump")
