[[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] faced the heaviest resistance yet seen from the DCMS, as the bolstered troops fought for every centimeter of ground and even forced the Jaguars to withdraw from a number of worlds attacked during the Fourth Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]] because they had underestimated the strength of the opposition and underbid when competing for worlds to invade.<ref name="ICp59">''Invading Clans'', p. 59: "Fourth Wave: The Jaguar Stumbles"</ref> |
The Fourth was reported to have been heavily damaged by Smoke Jaguar forces on Itabaiana in [[3050]] and driven into the mountains; with no contact from survivors as of [[3059]], the DCMS declared the unit to have been destroyed.<ref name="FM:DCp97">''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 97: "An Ting Legions: Return to Prosperity"</ref> When forces from [[Clan Nova Cat]] invaded Itabaiana in January [[3052]] the planetary government surrendered immediately to elements of the [[179th Striker (Clan Nova Cat)|179th Striker]] [[Cluster]] because they had no forces to defend the planet with, effectively confirming the destruction of the Fourth.<ref name="ICp119">''Invading Clans'', p. 119: "Itabaiana (DC)"</ref> | The Fourth was reported to have been heavily damaged by Smoke Jaguar forces on Itabaiana in [[3050]] and driven into the mountains; with no contact from survivors as of [[3059]], the DCMS declared the unit to have been destroyed.<ref name="FM:DCp97">''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 97: "An Ting Legions: Return to Prosperity"</ref> When forces from [[Clan Nova Cat]] invaded Itabaiana in January [[3052]] the planetary government surrendered immediately to elements of the [[179th Striker (Clan Nova Cat)|179th Striker]] [[Cluster]] because they had no forces to defend the planet with, effectively confirming the destruction of the Fourth.<ref name="ICp119">''Invading Clans'', p. 119: "Itabaiana (DC)"</ref> | ||

The IndustriPlex-C facility was the primary Diamond Shark [[OmniMech]] production site, but also produced a large part of their [[battle armor]] production. More importantly, the IndustriPlex-C facility was the center of Diamond Shark research and development, with [[Scientist-General]] [[Judy Bland]] on site, working on the development of rotary autocannon.<ref name="M&Mp152">''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 152: "Shark Mobile Production Sites"</ref> |

Each of the six major continents, Arado, Cauda do Macaco, Cerrado, Coelho, Mato Grosso and Tesouras, features substantial rhenium deposits, although the Tesouras continent has been largely depopulated after strip mining during the Combine period has largely destroyed the ecosystem on that continent. The capital city of the world, Brasilia, is located on the coast of Mato Grosso and has the only spaceport on the planet.<ref name="M&Mp154"/> | ||
