'''Delta Pavonis''' is an [[independent]] system in the [[Core Systems]] within the [[Inner Orion Spur]]. It was first colonised between 2190 and 2230.<ref name="TB0168">Tourist Spot 0168, "Early Colonies"</ref> Alongside [[Sol]], [[Tau Ceti]], [[Altair]], and [[Beta Hydri]], it was one of the original signatories of the [[Federal Accord]] of 2242 and is regarded as a founding member of the [[Federation]].

== History ==
=== Founding the Federation ===
Following the settlement of [[Tau Ceti]], other colonies followed soon after. Delta Pavonis, [[Beta Hydri]] and [[Altair]] were all explored and settled between 2190 and 2230, and an uncontrolled expansion followed with [[corporations]] and all sorts of groups of private individuals heading off into the stars. There was a "wild west gold rush" atmosphere to it all, as news of vast tracts of land, huge wealth, giant dinosaur-like beasts, and heroic acts filtered back to [[Earth]], with the romance of the process causing many to want to leave the mother planet.<ref name="TB0168" />

In 2182, fragile indigenous life, still at an early stage of its evolution, was discovered in the Delta Pavonis system and through a bacteriological accident, completely wiped out in the same year. When further alien ecologies were discovered in the Beta Hydri and Altair systems, and with the failure of the project to [[Terraforming|terraform]] [[Mars]], it looked like humanity would bring the cosmos to its knees, much as it had managed to do to its own planet.<ref>Tourist Spot 0170, "Accidental Extinction"</ref>

However, the 23rd century saw new leadership and initiative. The Earth Environmental Recovery Programme to restore the polluted and radioactive regions of the planet was much more successful.<ref>Tourist Spot 0171, "New Leadership"</ref> The renewed sense of purpose this strategy brought to the planet extended outwards to the interstellar colonies. Agreements were reached with Beta Hydri and Altair. In exchange for further self-determination each system agreed to maintain and preserve the natural habitats of indigenous life in their star systems. Shortly after this, Delta Pavonis also agreed to act with restraint should any further life be discovered in the system.<ref>Tourist Spot 0172, "New Agreements"</ref> Following the conflict in 2240 between Earth and [[Taylor Colony]], Delta Pavonis became one of the original five signatories of the [[Federal Accord]] and a founding member of the [[Federation]] in 2242.<ref>Tourist Spot 0174, "Federal Accord"</ref>

=== The Delta Pavonis conference ===
Delta Pavonis remained a loyal member of the Federation until August 12, 3307, when the [[independent]] Autocracy of Delta Pavonis pushed the Federation-aligned minor faction Delta Pavonis Galactic Interstellar out of power. On September 17, 3307, Grand Duke [[Simion Petrescu]], the leader of the Autocracy of Delta Pavonis, permitted the Federation and the [[EG Pilots]] to send delegations to present proposals for his faction to join them. The Federation sent [[Ambassador]] [[Delphine Dumont]] of the [[Federal Diplomatic Corps]] aboard the [[megaship]] Freedom's Foundation, while Dictator [[Yuri Grom]] of the EG Pilots decided to attend the conference in-person and traveled on the Indomitable. The negotiations, which would be the first time Federal officials diplomatically engaged with Grom since his defection from the [[Federal Navy]] in 3301, were to take place in [[Kessler City]] on the planet Reagan's Legacy.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6144868d80ba29040f2bbdd4 GalNet: Delta Pavonis Hosts Political Conference]</ref>

Unexpectedly, Dumont and Grom developed a rapport over the course of the conference, and on September 24 it was reported that a possible compromise deal was in the works that would allow the Autocracy of Delta Pavonis to remain independent, while permitting the Federation and EG Pilots to share trade and political ties with it.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/614dbf3b10d993146c5fbd1e GalNet: Progress Between Federation and Yuri Grom]</ref> On September 30, however, undercover [[Federal Intelligence Agency|Federal agents]] suddenly detained Grom's delegation at gunpoint. Grom was only able to escape from Kessler City thanks to the sacrifice of his personal guards, and when he arrived aboard the Indomitable he found his forces already under assault from Federal ships deployed by Delta Pavonis Galactic Interstellar. [[President of the Federation|President]] [[Zachary Hudson]] confirmed that the Federation had attempted to capture or eliminate Grom, who was still considered a traitor and a threat to Federal security. Grand Duke Petrescu issued a statement denying his faction's involvement in the Federal plot.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6155b717ad7f731bc054e57d GalNet: Yuri Grom Targeted by Federal Strike]</ref> The Federal Diplomatic Corps denounced Hudson's violation of the conventions of diplomatic immunity on October 4, 3307, with Ambassador Dumont insisting she had no foreknowledge of the entrapment plot and extending Grom a personal apology.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/615aec709ec24f4f7d51a8eb GalNet: Ambassador Condemns Entrapment of Yuri Grom]</ref>

The battle in Delta Pavonis concluded on October 7, 3307 with the EG Union's dramatic boarding and capture of the Freedom's Foundation megaship, signaling a decisive victory for Yuri Grom over the Federation. In a show of mercy, Grom granted the surviving Federal troops and crewmembers safe passage out of the system, but he also issued a direct warning to President Hudson that the ambush would not be forgotten.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/615ed9c98e209c1d44186095 GalNet: Yuri Grom Victorious Against Federation]</ref>
