Castor - Leader of the team, he had a broken leg as a result of the accident on the third planet which took the life of Beldona and therefore was not able to accompany the other team members to the planet's surface.This planet showed evidence of once supporting life, but they found that it had been bombarded by meteors and meteorites which boiled off much of the water and atmosphere. Sevvie Asturias, a paleontologist and medic, as well as Flora Neveshan, a zoologist and botanist, were killed in a climbing accident on the fourth planet they visited, which was labelled D.which meant (Good Only for Large Diversified Interests).

However, because very little information exists about the true length of the various Passes and Intervals, this page uses the old « After Landing» dating method with the 'Aivas Adjusted Turn's listed alongside if they are known. In All the Weyrs of Pern, it was revealed by Aivas that this was incorrect, and an adjusted system - dubbed the « Aivas Adjusted Turn» - was implemented to fix this. Prior to the publication of All the Weyrs of Pern, it was thought that a Pass lasted exactly 50 years and an Interval lasted exactly 200 years, as such events on Pern were dated using this method.
