On February 14, [[2784]], General Kerensky announced his plan for an [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]], calling upon all loyal Star League citizens and SLDF troops to join him in building a new society that would uphold the morals and traditions of the Star League. Jorgensson and Tseng, stationed on [[New Samarkand]], the rallying point for the [[Exodus Fleet]], at first doubted Kerensky's ability to lead such a massive operation and decided to stay behind to defend the remaining Star League citizens, but on the eve of the scheduled mass jump on November 5th, Kerensky delivered an impassioned speech about his Exodus. Kerensky's words moved Jorgensson and Tseng so much that they decided to leave everything (including their families) they knew behind in order to start a new life together.<ref name=ICp10-12>''Invading Clans'', pp.10-12</ref><ref name=HOKp120-121>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', pp. 120-121 - "Tseng & Jorgensson Profile"</ref>

That evening, Jorgensson and Tseng boarded the [[WarShip]] ''[[Prinz Eugen]]''.

==Alas, Babylon==
When the Exodus Fleet reached its "destination", the [[Pentagon Worlds]], Jorgensson and Tseng settled on [[Babylon]] and tested out of the SLDF ranks. For more than ten years, the couple helped build Kerensky's new society and raised their son. However, old nationalistic rivalries continued to exist, and during a riot between former citizens of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and [[Draconis Combine]], the couple's son was killed. Grief soon turned into anger: Jorgensson and Tseng petitioned [[Nicholas Kerensky]] to join his [[146th Royal BattleMech Division]] and were quickly accepted. After the death of General Aleksandr Kerensky in [[2801]], the many nationalistic rivalries exploded into outright war.<ref name=ICp12/><ref name=HOKp120-121/>

From the very start, Khan Tseng and saKhan Jorgensson wanted their entire Clan to have the same camaraderie, respect for one another, and strong bonds of friendship that were prevalent among the soldiers of the SLDF, thus making every member of Clan Ghost Bear a valued member of society and instilling a strong sense of loyalty to their leaders and overall, their Clan. Tseng and Jorgensson also gave their lower castes the right to vote on all matters affecting their Clan as a whole (similar to the voting policy later used by [[Clan Diamond Shark]]). These are traditions that continue to this very day.<ref name=ICp14/>

When the Clans returned to conquer the Pentagon Worlds during [[Operation KLONDIKE]], [[Clan Ghost Bear]], [[Clan Blood Spirit]], [[Clan Steel Viper]] and [[Clan Star Adder]] were assigned to retake [[Arcadia (Clan System)|Arcadia]]. Due to the [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|Ghost Bear ''touman'']]<nowiki>'</nowiki>s loose command structure, encouragement of personal initiative, thorough analysis of their targets, and the familiarity of the tactics of their fellow warriors, the Bears had the fewest casualties of the Clan "liberators". The Bears were also noted for their lenient and honorable treatment of their numerous [[bondsman|bondsmen]], taken as ''[[isorla]]''.<ref name=ICp15>''Invading Clans'', p.15</ref>

Khan Tseng personally led her warriors on the front lines, showing great skill and valor. Even today, Ghost Bear Loremasters proudly emphasize how Tseng's courage and leadership by example should be the role model for all Clan warriors and Khans to follow.<ref>''Invading Clans'', pp. 14-15</ref>

Sanra piloted an ''[[Imp]]'' gifted to her by Nicholas Kerensky. She named it ''Bearclaw'' and piloted it through Operation Klondike and the rest of her life as Khan. The battle-scarred ''Imp'' was later preserved by the Ghost Bears for centuries on [[Strana Mechty]], guarding their Clan's shrine on Svoboda Zembla.<ref>''Historical Operation Klondike'' p.175</ref>
