===Planetary History===
 
−
The fourth planet in the system, Itabaiana was originally known as '''Salem IV'''. The planet had been surveyed by the Terran New Habitat corporation, who had identified abundant deposits of rhenium and wanted to mine those deposits; the corporation felt that contracting with an ethnically homogenous group to provide the workforce would represent an efficient way of profitably colonizing and developing the world. As a result, Salem IV was settled by a group of Brazilian workers seeking their fortune in the early 2200s.<ref name="M&Mp154">''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 154: "Itabaiana"</ref>

====Demarcation====

===Demarcation===
−
Following the rise of the Liberal party in the [[Terran Alliance]] in [[2237]] and the subsequent [[Demarcation Declaration]], the Salemites found themselves forced into unsought independence, left to survive—or not—on their own. After a few decades it was obvious to the population of Salem IV that they had been abandoned for good by [[Terra]], and a national referendum was held to select a new name for the world that better reflected the population's origins and homeland. As a result, Salem IV became Itabaiana.<ref name="M&Mp154"/>

====Absorption====

===Absorption===
 
Itabaiana soon attracted the attention of the [[Ozawa Mercantile Association]], and shortly after, the [[Alliance of Galedon]]; [[Shiro Kurita]], leader of the Alliance, was prosecuting a war against the Mercantile Association, and Itabaiana was soon absorbed into the growing Kuritan stellar empire. The ethnically Brazilian founding population would eventually become a minority section of the population on Itabaiana, but periodically the fashion for giving children Portuguese names would arise in the resident population, evoking those original colonists.<ref name="M&Mp154"/>

===The Star League===

Itabaiana became one of the top suppliers of rhenium to companies contracted to the [[Star League Defense Force]], and as a result attracted a small SLDF garrison; this garrison was a source of some tension with [[House Kurita]], who wasted no time annexing all of the factories, mines and industrial plants associated with the rhenium industry in the fallout from the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]].<ref name="M&Mp154"/>

===The Succession Wars===
 
Following the seizure of the rhenium production industry on Itabaiana, the planet continued to produce industrial-grade rhenium, this time supplying the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]]. The population found themselves feeling exposed to predation from the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] throughout the Succession Wars, as the Combine High Command never bothered installing a significant garrison on Itabaiana, a decision that would remain in effect until the [[Clan Invasion]].<ref name="M&Mp154"/>

===The Clan Era===

When ''[[Gunji-no-Kanrei]]'' [[Theodore Kurita]] received word from [[First Prince of the Federated Suns|First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]] that the [[Federated Commonwealth]] wouldn't launch attacks on the Combine while both states were committed to fighting the Clans, Theodore redeployed units from along the Commonwealth border to the front line against the Clans,<ref name="ICp59"/> and it was during these months that the [[Fourth An Ting Legion]] were most likely redeployed from [[Valentina]]<ref name=20YUp41>''20 Year Update'', p. 41</ref> to the battlegrounds of the [[Alshain Military District]]. [[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>

In contrast with the former owners, the Nova Cats installed a substantial garrison to protect the planet and its various riches. The planet would remain a Nova Cat holding until the Nova Cats and the Combine entered into an alliance and reconciliation, at which point the Combine captured the world through a spirited soccer match between the [[44th Nova Cat Cavaliers (Clan Nova Cat)|Forty-fourth Nova Cat Cavaliers]] and the [[Fifth Sun Zhang Cadre]].<ref>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 117</ref> Despite having effectively conceded control to the Combine, the Nova Cats would continue to be a presence on Itabaiana as the world would be incorporated into the [[Irece Prefecture]].<ref name="M&Mp154"/>

In contrast with the former owners, the Nova Cats installed a substantial garrison to protect the planet and its various riches. The planet would remain a Nova Cat holding until the Nova Cats and the Combine entered into an alliance and reconciliation, at which point the Combine captured the world through a spirited soccer match between the [[44th Nova Cat Cavaliers (Clan Nova Cat)|Forty-fourth Nova Cat Cavaliers]] and the [[Fifth Sun Zhang Cadre]].<ref>''Field Manual: Comstar'', p.126 </ref> Despite having effectively ceded control to the Combine, the Nova Cats would continue to be a presence on Itabaiana as the world would be incorporated into the [[Irece Prefecture]].<ref name="M&Mp154"/>

The Nova Cats would remain in administrative control of Itabaiana until a series of Trials between the Nova Cats and Clan Diamond Shark in [[3065]] reached a mutually beneficial trade agreement between the two parties, the terms of which included the Diamond Sharks receiving control of Itabaiana as a holding in the [[Inner Sphere]] in exchange for the Nova Cats receiving 2% of the [[HarJel]] production from the [[Twycross]] system, first refusal on the rhenium exports from Itabaiana for ten years, and a discount on all rhenium purchases.<ref name="M&Mp154"/>

Following the agreement, Itabaiana became the Diamond Shark capital in the Inner Sphere, with the Diamond Shark [[Khan]], [[Barbara Sennet]], setting up her office in Brasilia and a Clan Council Hall was established some ten miles outside Brasilia. The Diamond Sharks expanded the factory complex that the Nova Cats had erected on the Tesouras continent, and by [[3076]] had established two more factory complexes on Mato Grosso and Coelho.<ref name="M&Mp154"/>

In the mid-3070s the Diamond Shark ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class [[WarShip]] [[Nagasawa (Individual Sovetskii Soyuz-class WarShip)|CDS ''Nagasawa'']] was in orbit above Itabaiana as a permanent naval garrison, and the [[Clan Diamond Shark IndustriPlex-C|IndustriPlex-C]] plant had become the Diamond Shark's largest planet-bound mobile factory, brought to Itabaiana from their homeworld holdings. 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>

An agreeable world with an exceedingly pleasant climate, Itabaiana lacks much by way of distinguishing geographical features. 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"/>
