Morgan Hasek-Davion Memorial Park

The Morgan Hasek-Davion Memorial Park was the final rest place of Morgan Hasek-Davion, Duke of New Syrtis.

History

Morgan was murdered the 2 January 3060[1] aboard the WarShip Invisible Truth, during Task Force Serpent expedition. However, his body was preserved and returned to New Syrtis to be buried there. The tomb of Morgan was laid on Mawreddon Glacier, over a ferrocrete foundation over the bedrock. It was a technological marvel than, however, required to be constantly maintained to prevent it to be crushed from the ice.[2] Over the ferrocrete extension of three acre, artists from all the Capellan March and from other worlds in all Federated Commonwealth space help made more than a thousand of ice-sculptures, from a robin's egg frozen in a perfectly sculped nest, a New Syrtis polar bear staling an aquqtic creature in the water, a mother cradling a new-born to her breast, looking at Morgan's tomb, a mythological unicorn, a magnifican lion roaring, and a JumpShip with his solar sail extended. The bigger statue, however, in the center of the park, was a full-scale replica of Morgan's last BattleMech, a [[Daishi/Dire.[3] Morgan's son and heir, George Hasek II, visited the tomb before it begun the invasion of New Syrtis in the FedCom Civil War.[4] Unfortunately, during the battle of New Syrtis, the Loyalist unit Ridgebrook CMM made a fighting retreat through the Park, and the unit of New Syrtis Fusilers than pursued them, enraged, attacked them. In the fight, both sides destroyed most of the statues nad damaged the Daishi's.[5] The destruction of the so beloved Duke's monument galvanized the world defenders against the Loyalist, showing them no mercy from that point.[6]
