Mora System Astrophysical Data

[Vargr]

On Living Traveller Adventure #01 "Of Dust Spice and Dewclaws" the setting data contains a wealth of information on the Mora system, including a complete breakdown of systems components, orbital zone limits and physical data on planet Mora itself (diameter, gravity, temperature, axial tilt, orbital eccentricity, day lenght and orbital period).

I was just wondering, was this information copied verbatim from a previous version of Traveller, mostly made-up based on existing data or generated using some MGT rules we haven't seen so far?

And if the latter is true, can we expect forthcoming MGT rules to generate systems and planets with the degree of details presented on this adventure?

These is a bit of prior coverage - see http://traveller.wikia.com/wiki/Mora_%28world%29

Thank you, but your answer is not very helpful.

You see, I had already checked that page on the link; in fact I own the two supplements and the magazine mentioned as sources and none of them contains astrophysical information about Mora system with the detail or variety found in MGT Living Traveller Adventure #01, not even close. Political/social/historical details about Mora are found here and there, but I was refering specifically to the physical/astrophysical data.

Hence my curiosity, just where did the data come from? Did the author just made it up based on what info was already available? Did he use an older set of rules to generate that precise physical data? Which ones? Did he use home-brew, or as-yet-unseen MGT rules? Was is already fully done before and just copied in a 4th product that the WikiTraveller page failed to mention?

The physical data of Mora and the planetary system look suspiciously
like they have been determined with GURPS Space, both the termino-
logy and the sequence of the data are almost exactly what I get when
I use GURPS Space for one of my own settings.

However, there seem to be differences between the data in GURPS Tra-
veller - Behind the Claw and the adventure, for example the diameter
of Mora, so I do not think that the data have only be copied from that
source.
