==Description==
'''''Historical: Operation Klondike''''' is Catalyst Game Labs sourcebook that outlines events that happened to General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]'s Exodus fleet after leaving the [[Inner Sphere]]. The history outlines the Exodus fleet's journey to the Deep Periphery and its colonization efforts in the in the [[Pentagon Cluster]]. The book provides accounts on important historical characters, events, and opposing factions that help shape the formation of the [[Clans]]. In later sections, the book focuses on the Clans' [[Operation KLONDIKE|campaign to retake the worlds]] lost to the rebellious factions that rose from the ashes of the Star League-in-Exile. 

==From the back cover==
{{quote|In the wake of the [[Star League]]'s collapse, [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] led the bulk of the [[SLDF]] into deep space to escape the inevitable [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. But war soon came to the "[[Star League in Exile]]" anyway, prompting General Kerensky’s son [[Nicholas Kerensky|Nicholas]] to form a new society, based on the principles of honor and strength. Fifteen years later, the newborn [[Clans]] were unleashed against those who abandoned Kerensky’s vision.}}

==Notes==
*A companion PDF book was published shortly after the PDF version of the book was released. ''[[Record Sheets: Operation Klondike]]'' is an electronic book of record sheet giving stats to [['Mech]]s, vehicles, and other new BattleTech units listed in the sourcebook's Rule Annex section.

*The ''[[Exterminator]]'' of the front page bears the insignias of Clan Wolf, so it appears to show [[Andery Kerensky]] last battle, or other prior to that.
