The Procyon system, (pronounced /'proʊsɪən/) also referred to as α CMi or Alpha Canis Minoris, is a binary star system situated 11.46 light years from the Sol system. The system consists 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.
Its closest neighbor is Luyten's star, 1.11 ly away.[1] It is situated five days Slipspace travel from the Epsilon Indi system.[2] Arcadia, a human Outer Colony world is located in this system. Procyon is orbited by at least four planets.[3]

History[edit]
In 2429, the fourth planet orbiting Procyon, Arcadia, was colonized by the Unified Earth Government, 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.[2] 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.[4]
