A (non-captioned) picture on p. 9 of ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' seems to show General Aleksandr Kerensky and some of his officers in a planning session on the eve of his Operation Exodus. A large screen in the background depicts a starmap with what presumably was the planned Exodus route from [[New Earth]] via [[New Samarkand]] and into the spinward [[periphery]]; the same starmap and route are visible on the table they are gathered around.

Another large display in the background displays what seems to be a listing of WarShips giving their names, class and an unexplained percentage number. The display is partially obscured by people standing in front of it and is cut off where the image ends. Some people have claimed that the picture as printed is a cut-down version of what was originally a larger picture where even more ship names could be read on the display, but even if that is accurate, only the officially published version and the information contained therein can be counted as [[canonical]]. The discernible parts that can be read are:

*''[[Linsenmayer|??senmayer]]'', 7?% (cut off at the left, but spelled out as "''Linsenmayer''" by people who worked with CGL)

According to a comment<ref>In [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=58337.msg1343915#msg1343915 this] posting: "''The ZW is first named on a illustration which lists a bunch of warships with went on the Exodus - I forget which book, one of the first FanPro ones. FM: Updates perhaps?  The artists wanted a list of classes and ship names so we provided him with it :) Several writers have ships named after them (including me).''"</ref> from [[BattleTech]] writer [[Øystein Tvedten]] on the official [[BattleTech Forum]], several BattleTech writers had WarShips that went on the Exodus named after them in this picture.
