Does anyone know what book or article the planet "Pinsk IV" comes from? I cannot remember. I was playing Starwar 2250 this last weekend and got sidetracked trying to remember. Here is the planet description from Starwar 2250:

"Earthlike but cold and wet (Pinsk IV), large ice caps will cover most of the planet. Oceans will be mostly frozen. Surface temperature –70deg to 85degF (note subtropical areas may exist as a result of geothermal heat as on Pinsk IV), Amcrys chance 1%, surface gravity .8 to 1.2, orbit 1 to 1.7 A.U., rotational period 1‑36 minus 4, satellites 1 to 6 minus 4, life chance 30%."

Based on the description, I was thinking Traveler. But I can't find anything…I think Google is broken.

I tried to google it also with no luck. Thanks for trying. It may be in an old book. I just can't remember.
