−	====Early History====
−	Matamoras was first established in the [[twenty-seventh century]] as a mining and industrial world. A poorly run and corrupt prison facility was used by the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] on the continent of Siberia until it—and the inmates—were abandoned in the mid-2700s. Their descendants were rediscovered in [[2913]] and rejoined the planetary community.<ref name="HB:HKp81"/>
−	====Succession Wars====	+	==Description==
−	During the [[Succession Wars]], Matamoras was home to three large military manufacturing centers producing conventional armaments and vehicles, but all three facilities were destroyed by [[2942]].<ref name="HB:HKp81"/>	+	Dominated by desert and rocky terrain, Matamoras is known as the windiest world in the Draconis Combine. With wind speeds known to exceed four hundred kilometers per hour, the landscape features unusual and aesthetically pleasing sculptures that provide artistic inspiration throughout the Combine. Matamoras' primary function, however, is as a key mining world within the Combine, providing the nation's defense industry with millions of tons of metals per year. It is not a world many migrate to by choice, and due to the high gravity and winds [[New Samarkand Metals]] and the other two mining corporations involved with Matamoras rotate their personnel every five and ten years, respectively.<ref name="HB:HKp81"/>

With wind speeds known to exceed four hundred kilometers per hour, the landscape features unusual and aesthetically pleasing sculptures that provide artistic inspiration throughout the Combine. Matamoras' primary function, however, is as a key mining world within the Combine, providing the nation's defense industry with millions of tons of metals per year. It is not a world many migrate to by choice, and due to the high gravity and winds [[New Samarkand Metals]] and the other two mining corporations involved with Matamoras rotate their personnel every five and ten years, respectively.<ref name="HB:HKp81"/> The [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery|DCMS]] also stations troops on the planet for a year's training with its high gravity and windstorms. In addition, the Red Clay [[yakuza]] clan is known to be heavily involved with Matamoras as well.<ref name="HB:HKp81"/> Around [[2997]] a sport known as "wind skirmishing" became popular with Combine youth. Utilizing a gliding bodysuit and paint pellet guns, participants skirmish with one another attempting to inflict the most hits while suffering the least in turn. The [[Draconis Combine Admiralty|DCA]] became interested enough to create the Matamoras Melee in [[3026]], with the best-scoring participant gaining entry into the [[Aerospace and Interstellar Institute]] on [[Midway]].<ref name="HB:HKp81"/> ===Planetary History=== ====Early History==== Matamoras was first established in the 27th Century as a mining and industrial world. A poorly-run and corrupt prison facility was used by the DCMS on Siberia until it - and the inmates - were abandoned in the mid-2700s. Their descendants were rediscovered in [[2913]] and rejoined the planetary community.<ref name="HB:HKp81"/> During the [[Succession Wars]] Matamoras was home to three large military manufacturing centers producing conventional armaments and vehicles, but all three facilities were destroyed by [[2942]].<ref name="HB:HKp81"/> ====Operation BULLDOG==== '''Matamoras''' was invaded in the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] [[Operation Bulldog|counterattack]]. The [[19th Striker (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Nineteenth Striker Cluster]] assaulted the [[1st Free Worlds Guards]], 2nd Night Stalkers, and the ''Ryuken-yon''; though the [[Clan]] invaders managed to damage much of the local infrastructure, they were completely wiped out during a night strike.<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p.32</ref> ===Military Deployment=== ====3038==== * [[Night Stalkers]]<ref name=H:Wo3039>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 139, "Deployment Table"</ref> :* [[McGavin's Regiment]] ====3040==== * Night Stalkers<ref name=H:Wo3039/> :* McGavin's Regiment ====3050==== * [[2nd Night Stalkers|Second Night Stalkers]]<ref name=20YU43>''20 Year Update'', p. 43, "Draconis Combine Deployment Table"</ref> ====3053==== * Second Night Stalkers<ref name=DBH>''Duty Before Honor''</ref> * [[Thirteenth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]]<ref name=DBH/> ====3054==== * Second Night Stalkers<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 70, "Unit Note"</ref> ====3059==== * Second Night Stalkers<ref name=FMDC135>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 135, "Draconis Combine Deployment Table"</ref> ===Planetary Locations=== {{scrollbox| * Vladivostok (capital): located mostly underground within The Brothers, a twin-peaked mountain. * Funn: A town near Wazukana Fortress that helped the [[Ryuken-yon]], the [[1st Free Worlds Guards|First Free Worlds Guards]] and the [[2nd Night Stalkers|Second Night Stalkers]] against [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Hang Mehta]] with [[Skyriders Keshik (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Alpha Command Nova]] accompanied by the [[19th Striker (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Nineteenth Striker Cluster]] during the assault on Matamoras in late July [[3059]].<ref> ''Grave Covenant'', p. 290-5</ref> * Pillartown:<ref name=DBH/> * Krasnogorsk: formerly a prison complex, became an isolated community following the prison's abandonment until it was rediscovered. }} == Map Gallery == <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> == Nearby Systems == <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Closest 24 systems (23 within 60 light-years)<br>Distance in light years, closest systems first: |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Seuta Bimyeong]] | class="lessthan30" | 16.9 | class="lessthan30" | [[Caesaera]] | class="lessthan30" | 19.9 | class="lessthan30" | [[Cheriton]] | class="lessthan30" | 22.1 | class="lessthan30" | [[Clearfield]] | class="lessthan30" | 24.4 |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Macksburg]] | class="lessthan30" | 25.0 | class="lessthan30" | [[Lonaconing]] | class="lessthan30" | 25.9 | class="lessthan30" | [[McAlister]] | class="lessthan30" | 26.6 | class="over30" | [[Herndon]] | class="over30" | 31.9 |- | class="over30" | [[Jeanette]] | class="over30" | 35.5 | class="over30" | [[Chupadero]] | class="over30" | 38.9 | class="over30" | [[Echo]] | class="over30" | 40.4 | class="over30" | [[Tuscarawas]] | class="over30" | 41.2 |- | class="over30" | [[Sawyer]] | class="over30" | 43.5 | class="over30" | [[Loysville]] | class="over30" | 49.0 | class="over30" | [[Duxfort]] | class="over30" | 49.1 | class="over30" | [[Maldonado]] | class="over30" | 49.2 |- | class="over30" | [[Kabah]] | class="over30" | 49.8 | class="over30" | [[Espakeh]] | class="over30" | 49.9 | class="over30" | [[Ebensburg]] | class="over30" | 50.2 | class="over30" | [[Hyner]] | class="over30" | 52.8 |- | class="over30" | [[Caracol]] | class="over30" | 53.8 | class="over30" | [[Stapelfeld]] | class="over30" | 55.8 | class="over30" | [[Chapineria]] | class="over30" | 58.3 | class="over60" | [[Bjarred]] | class="over60" | 60.2 |- |} == References == <references /> == Bibliography == * ''[[20 Year Update]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3052]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3062]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: SLDF]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Draconis Combine]]'' * ''[[Field Report: DCMS]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Kurita]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[Historical: War of 3039]]'' * ''[[House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[The Dragon Roars]]'' [[Category:Systems|Matamoras]] [[Category:Draconis Combine Planets]]
