===Planetary History===
+
== Planetary Info ==
====Clan Invasion====
+
'''Rockland''' is a small planet with large mountain range across the surface which gave it its name. Most of its population is concentrated on the southern continent called Granite, which is where the capital city is. The northern continent, Limerock, has numerous spread-out settlements concentrated on mining and quarrying.<ref name=BT:AaFp145/>
[[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] invaded Rockland during the [[Clan Invasion]], which was defended only by the [[Rockland People's Army]]. Determined to make their stand on the patch of land which served as a memorial to their freedom, the RPA chose Liberty Park to confront Alpha and Bravo [[Star]]s of the [[Skyriders Keshik (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Skyriders Keshik]]. Their valiant fight would last but minutes as the Smoke Jaguar's heavy [[OmniMechs]] completely decimated the defenders shortly after landing.<ref name=ICp64>''Invading Clans'', p. 64</ref>
 
  
The Jaguars used the experience of Rockland's people to create numerous monuments which were spread across their entire territory.<ref name=BT:AaFp145/>
+
Rockland was invaded in March [[3050]] by Clan Smoke Jaguar with two [[Star]]s of [[BattleMech|'Mechs]] which crushed the Rockland People’s Army within minutes. The Jaguars used the experience of Rockland's people to create numerous monuments which were spread across their entire territory.<ref name=BT:AaFp145/>
  
====Operation BULLDOG====
+
In [[3061]] the [[ComStar]] [[1st Division (ComStar)|First Division]] moved its HQ to Rockland.{{cn}}
In [[3059]], Rockland was invaded in the third wave of [[Operation BULLDOG]] by the [[11th Legion of Vega|Eleventh]] and [[16th Legion of Vega|Sixteenth Legions of Vega]], the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[91st Division (ComStar)|Ninety-first Division]], [[Stirling's Fusiliers]], and the [[Northwind Hussars]]. The defending [[10th Garrison (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Tenth Garrison Cluster]] fought little and instead chose to retreat off-world.<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 44</ref>
