There is more information available on this subject at Procyon system on the English Wikipedia.

The Procyon system is a planetary system. Procyon is orbited by at least four planets,^[1] including the human Outer Colony world of Arcadia.^[2] It is situated approximately five days slipspace travel from the Epsilon Indi system.^[3]

Overview[edit]

Planetary system[edit]

Arcadia - Human colony world, glassed by the Covenant in 2549.
Laconia - An uninhabited world.

History[edit]

In 2429, the fourth planet orbiting Procyon, Arcadia, was colonized by the Unified Earth Government,^[2] becoming a human colony known for its recreational amenities. Arcadia was invaded by the Covenant in 2531. The system's defense fleet engaged the Covenant ships, suffering heavy casualties.^[3] However, the Covenant left the system soon after without glassing the planet. A small number of human colonists remained on the planet in the town of Abaskun. It would remain a mostly lawless region, but continued to supply the UNSC with food. The Covenant would return to Arcadia later in 2549, glassing it.^[2]^[4]

-[[Image:Position Alpha Cmi.png|thumb|Alpha Canis Minoris, or Procyon.]]
-(α CMi / α Canis Minoris / Alpha Canis Minoris) is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Minor. To the naked eye, it appears to be a single star, the eighth brightest in the night sky with a visual apparent magnitude of 0.34. It is actually a binary star system, consisting of a white main sequence star of spectral type F5 IV-V, named Procyon A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA, named Procyon B. The reason for its brightness is not its intrinsic luminosity but its closeness to the Sun; at a distance of 3.5 pc or 11.41 light years, Procyon is one of our near neighbours. Its closest neighbour is Luyten's star, 0.34 pc or 1.11 ly away.
-It is possible that the system and the star are one and the same. However, its close proximity to [[Earth]] and short travel time from Harvest make this unlikely.
