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]
