All four colonists were played by recurring stunt performers, who received no credit for their appearance.

Colonists []

These colonists lived in the settlement on Tau Cygna V which was visited by Lieutenant Commander Data in 2366. They've gathered for a public meeting held on a free place and witnessed the discussion between Data and their leader Gosheven. Following the destruction of the aqueduct by Data they all left the planet which was then colonized by the Sheliak. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")

Focus group []

This focus group consisted of 56 colonists who were asked for their opinion by Data on what should be done in the light of the fact that the Sheliak Corporate claimed dominon over Tau Cygna V and were demanding the evacuation of the colonists from the planet. Of the group, 10 did not believe a threat existed, 22 were in favor of staying and fighting the Sheliak, 16 preferred negotiation or passive resistance, and 8 were in favor of evacuation. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")
