Pecos is a larger moon composed of rock and ice caught in a 37 year cycle of melting and thawing as its orbit around Salina brings it closer and then further away from the sun. The IMG established a small mining colony during 812 A.S. after completing work on Barrier Gate. Pecos possesses a breathable but dangerously thin atmosphere. Elevations over 30 meters above sea level require machine assisted breathing. Deep within the moon crust are frozen deposits of what IMG knows to be natural frozen heavy water and Pecos is on track to become one of the largest sources of [[Deuterium]] in Sirius once the mining operations reach their maximum efficiency. The arrival of the Republic in Coronado has helped reinforce the Guild's position in the system while also providing a viable market to buy and sell from. Although the Guild and Republic colonies are separate, they enjoy a fair amount of interaction.

Pecos is a larger moon composed of rock and ice caught in a 37 year cycle of freezing and thawing as its orbit around Salina brings it closer and then further away from the sun. The Independent Miners Guild (IMG) established a small mining colony in 802 A.S. not long before Barrier Gate was finished. Pecos possesses a breathable but dangerously thin atmosphere which must generally be heated to prevent rapid heat loss. Deep within the icy crust the IMG found large deposits of frozen heavy water which the miners are extracting and refining into Deuterium, a critical component of H-Fuel and other fusion reactor fuels.

In 817 A.S, after their defeat at the hands of the Gallic invasion fleets entering Tau 44, the Colonial Republic resettled a large part of their civilian population on the planet's only landmass, where the IMG had built some Deuterium refineries. Pecos is unable to support a large population however, so a constant supply of Food and other goods are needed to supply the refugee population.

The mining colony never had more then 700 people on the surface at any given time. However, the arrival of the Colonials has, most likely temporarily, boosted the population to well over 175.000 people. The Colonial Republic is attempting to make the much more hospitable Planet Yuma suitable for colonization.
