How did Dorian know about the Liberator crew being stranded on Terminal? He seems to get there very quickly, and knows about them all, knowing their numbers and names (and possibly clothes sizes going by recent posts!) I don't think Avon would have waited very long before checking Servalan's ship, so that must have been the same day; Dorian arrives the next day.
Did the 'creature' in the basement tell him? If so, it must have been telepathic.
Did Servalan tell him, as a backup plan in case her explosive charges didn't get them? If so, she had to know about Dorian and his secret. But then, she would have known just where to find Avon's base afterwards.

Maybe Slave was more sophisticated than we ever suspected - it could have followed a line through the pattern of infinity (and possibly that's how Orac learned how to do it).
Alternatively, perhaps Dorian used the year-long gap between seasons to catch up on his Blakes 7 video collection.

Not necessarily. If Dorian managed to keep his secret from Soolin, there's no reason Servalan would know. Maybe it was the other way around -- Dorian told Servalan about Terminal (for whatever reason... money, whatever...) and he managed to get wind of her plan, and made plans of his own. After all, Tarrant was very surprised to find Terminal where it was, and he was the only person on the Liberator who'd even heard of it, yet here Dorian comes swanning up saying he's here on Terminal for salvage. He of course knows the location and history of Terminal because he's so old, and hasn't forgotten.

And the flight to Xenon doesn't exactly take long, and Scorpio's not up to much in the way of speed at this pre-Stardrive stage, so the two planets probably weren't all that far apart. Dorian might simply have been checking out intruders in his backyard. I think it's reasonable to suppose that he knew of the Liberator, and could put two and two together if the specs on the new arrival were detailed enough. So it was probably a case of, "Hmm, what's this? Big ship heading for Terminal. Fast too. Big enough and fast enough to be .... Hold the fort, Soolin, I've got something to check out."
