−	The ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser '''''Thunderbolt''''' was a [[WarShip]] serving within the spaceborn navy of the [[Star League Defense Force]] at the height of the [[Star League]] era. The ''Thunderbolt'' survived the chaos and destruction of the [[Amaris Civil War]] and the [[Hegemony Campaign]] and was one of the WarShips to follow [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]] into the [[Deep Periphery]]. When General Kerensky's efforts to found a society for the [[Star League in Exile]] failed after his death and the [[Pentagon Worlds]] degenerated into internecine warfare the ''Thunderbolt'' was one of the vessels to accompany the forces loyal to [[Nicholas Kerensky]] on the withdrawal to [[Strana Mechty]]; after the founding of the [[Clans]] by Nicholas the ''Thunderbolt'' became a serving vessel within one of the nascent Clan ''[[touman]]s''.<ref name="H:OKp44">''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 44: "Circe Outposts"</ref>	+	The ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser '''''Thunderbolt''''' was a [[WarShip]] serving within the black water navy of the [[Star League Defense Force]] at the height of the [[Star League]] era.

	===Operation KLONDIKE===		===Operation KLONDIKE===
−	The ''Thunderbolt'' was one of the vessels assigned to the naval group commanded by the [[Khan]] of [[Clan Snow Raven]], the former [[SLDF]] [[Admiral]] [[Stephen McKenna]], for the pacification of the spacefarer communities and their naval forces in the [[Circe]] system during [[Operation KLONDIKE]]. Alongside the ''[[Avatar (WarShip class)|Avatar]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Korat|''Korat'']] the ''Thunderbolt'' was deployed against the spacefarer community known as [[Outpost One]], a conglomeration of [[JumpShip]]s, [[DropShip]]s and [[WarShip]]s built around what had been the nadir [[recharge station]] of the Circe system, which the spacefarers had established eighteen years previously and relocated far afield from its original location, and which now contained tens of thousands of spacefarers.<ref name="H:OKp44"/>	+	The ''Thunderbolt'' was one of the vessels assigned to the naval group commanded by the [[Khan]] of [[Clan Snow Raven]], the former [[SLDF]] [[Admiral]] [[Stephen McKenna]], for the pacification of the spacefarer communities and their naval forces in the [[Circe]] system during [[Operation KLONDIKE]].

−	Initially, the visible defenders of Outpost One consisted of a pair of WarShips, a ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz (WarShip class)|Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class heavy cruiser and a ''[[McKenna (WarShip class)|McKenna]]''-class battlecruiser. The ''Korat'' and the ''Thunderbolt'' initially jumped in close enough to Outpost One that the WarShips were already in engagement range, and both the ''Sovetskii Soyuz'' and ''McKenna'' moved to intercept the Clan ships; while the ''Korat'' and the ''Thunderbolt'' had well-trained crews and theoretically were superior to the spacefarer WarShips, none of the crews had any experience of actual naval combat. As a result, the combat between the four ships was far more even than it might have appeared; the ''Korat'' and the ''Thunderbolt'' destroyed both opposing WarShips, but the length of the engagement gave the spacefarers time to jump away a trio of JumpShips in an attempt to evacuate Outpost One. More critically, the battle and evacuation revealed the existence of a ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruiser which had been docked with Outpost One and which escaped with the lion's share of the population of the colony. Despite this the Clans still captured dozens of assorted JumpShips and DropShips as well as thousands of spacefarers.<ref name="H:OKp44"/>	+	Initially, the visible defenders of Outpost One consisted of a pair of WarShips, a ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class heavy cruiser and a ''[[McKenna (WarShip)|McKenna]]''-class battlecruiser.
