====Clan Invasion====
 
[[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/>
