(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 neighbors. Its closest neighbor is Luyten's star, 0.34 pc or 1.11 ly away.

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]

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]
