 Ara and The Scorpion
It is thought that this is the direction in which the centre of the Galaxy lies, and that this represents the greatest "thickness" or concentra­tion of stars as seen from the earth.
Returning to the Cross and follow­ing the line of its axis upward, i.e., away from Achernar, beyond the zenith, one sees the distorted square of Corvus, the Crow, and close by, a very bright star which is Spica or Alpha of the Virgin.
This constellation, together with Scorpio and Sagittarius, are southern parts of the Zodiac—the belt of the sky along which the Sun, Moon and planets ap­pear to travel.

Alpha Pavonis VII is a Noble World in the Alpha Pavonis star system.

 Re: E-Space: MacroSpace: When we get moving again . . .   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
According to my understanding (which might be wrong), and assertion of how to use, the idea, you could reference the boogie woogie alien flu outbreak on Alpha Pavonis if and only if the outbreak on Alpha Pavonis is mentioned in the larger timeline.
If it isn't mentioned in the larger time line, then it shouldn't be mentioned in the lexicons of other eras, because that's some other era, and whoever writes that era's lexicon may decide that no such outbreak happened.
Or that no one knows about it because Alpha Pavonis was later cleansed with thermonuclear devices and all records of such an outbreak (and all forensic evidence of such an outbreak) are completely lost.
