I am using the events from the story "A Call To Battle" published in Away Team Log for a convention game in September. Specifically, I am looking for published data on the Delta Pavonis Colony such as location, planetary data, and key members of the colony.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Ha, I thought "That's an RPG thing, let Jean answer it." and she thought "That's an SFU knowlegebase thing, let Steve Cole answer it."
There is no planetary profile (although if you do one that fits the data in the story send it to us and we may print it, as we have printed similar articles before).
The story is full of little bits of knowlege. I know that the AWL version of the story is shorter than the CL44 version of the story, but I think Delta Pavonis data is complete in both.
Anyway....
In Y171 the colony had been there five years.
It has no defenses against space attack, no ground-based phasers, no defense satellites, so it's too small to be a target for Kligons or even pirates.
A total population of.two thousand ... four hundred and ... eleven?
About half of those were in The Town and the rest were at outlying villages, work stations, farms, or the mine. A hundred were at a remote fishing village 4,000 kilometers away, and a dozen or two loners were who knows where, but dutifully checked in by communicator with a passing shuttle every month as required by their hermit permit. No real need to mention that three of the hermits had in fact not checked in for months.
139 million square kilometers of land area. There apparently are some ocean areas since there is a fishing village. There are entire continents that the colonists have never explored. If you assumed that 139 million square kilometers is (pick a number between 30% and 70%) of the total area (the rest being oceans or icepacks) you could then reverse calculate the diameter. Pick any reasonable number for the orbital distance and length of the year.
The air is breathable without assistance, Gravity is not an issue meaning it is between .90 and 1.10.
The colonial economy is driven by a single gadolinium mine which pays for everything, but ingots of raw metal are not much interest to pirates who could otherwise steal only food. The colony is self-sufficient on food.
There is a limited road network from the town to nearby locations such as a lumber mill. There is no road network beyond maybe 50Km of The Town.
There is a local radio station with music, local news, and weather reports.
One Dunkar owns a store where he sells goods imported from the Klingon empire, which is very close.
The colony was so boring and non-threatening that the Klingons dumped Federation prisoners of war there (no guards) rather than bother setting up a prison planet. The Klingons said they would send a freighter to the planet every 60 days to pick up the gadolinium and give the colonists whatever medical supplies and spare parts they decided to provide.
