  Delta Pavonis
As Delta Pavonis has become one of the top 100 target stars for NASA's planned Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF), images of this star and its position relative to the Milky Way in Earth's night sky are now available from the TPF-C team.
Delta Pavonis is a yellow-orange main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type G5-8 V-IV.
The orbital distance from Delta Pavonis where an Earth-type planet would be "comfortable" with liquid water is centered around 1.09 AU -- just a little farther than Earth's orbital distance in the Solar System.

 Darwin / Delta Pavonis
At almost 20 light years, Delta Pavonis was over four times as far as the former, and nearly twice as far as the latter.
Delta Pavonis was indeed a rich systems (scientists had long expected this, as the star's heavy metal abundance was almost twice that of Sol's), and in addition to the fourth planet which had an oxygen atmosphere, Earth -like conditions, and large oceans, there were a number of other rocky planets and gas giants.
Although a majority of orbitals and moon and asteroid habitats were on the Pavonis administration side, the pro-bio-development and pro-surface colonization habitats increasingly sided with the development and biotech corporations.

 Phoenix & Arizona
In the year 2265, the first human colonists entered the Delta Pavonis system, and established small settlements on both of its habitable worlds, which they came to call Arizona, and Phoenix.
Combined with the fact that both planets had regions that were extremely fertile for agriculture, thus making self-sufficiency practical, Delta Pavonis became a very attractive place to settle.
Delta Pavonis remains one of the smaller colony systems (in population) within the Empire’s possession, but its importance agriculturally is still what makes it a very prosperous colony, even today.

 Strelas'tha
The Minbari Governement was well happy to transfer the management of the situation to the ISA and to the Anla'Shok, because this allowed to avoid an eventual fratricide encounter between a rebel crew of an higly debated Warrior Clan, and a Warrior crew that could find himself in a loyalty conflict.
The exploitation of such resources went on well: the sector 88 is still today an almost unexplored area at the border of the EA, and the Delta Pavonis system, because of the lack of inhabitable planets, was claimed by none of the known powers excpt the EA.
In accordance with a request of the Industrial consortium, that in that period was concerned essentially by some piracy activities in the sector 87, Earthforce organized a regular patrol service in the system, with a task force of two Hyperion cruisers and a squadron of Starfuries based on the logistic orbital facility.

Delta Pavonis is a single star (no known planetary companions) in the far-southern constellation Pavo.
It is a relatively old star (at least a billion years older than the Sun, and possibly older).
Although Delta Pavonis is evolving off the main sequence, and hence is gradually becoming less Sunlike, it is still the sort of star that could support Earthlike planets (at least for some more millions of years).

Pavonis never got high enough at these latitudes to provide much useful illumination; now, sinking towards the horizon and clotted by great cauls of dust, it was little more than a rusty-red smear, hard for his eyes to focus on.
Sylveste examined his own state of mind and found it was the last thing he had expected total calm.
But it was like the calm that existed on the metallic hydrogen oceans of the gas giant planets further out from Pavonis only maintained by crushing pressures from above and below.

Klastor Prime was an Earth-grade world, second in the orbit of the G-2 sun Delta Pavonis, and separate from normal routes.

At first it was a far-off wisp of sound but soon their was an urgency to the cries as more beasts shook themselves and roused, and they saw several striding from the lakes to investigate the new growths.
