| | The '''Procyon System''' (pronounced /'proʊsɪən/) is a planetary system situated five days [[slipspace]] travel from the [[Epsilon Indi System]]. It is orbited by [[Arcadia]], a [[UNSC]] colony world, which was [[Battle of Arcadia|invaded]] by the [[Covenant]] in [[2531]].<ref>''[http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=U5mTz1lOhsQ Halo Wars]''</ref>. The eventual fate of the planet and its star system are unknown. |

| The '''Procyon system''' is a planetary system. Procyon is orbited by at least four planets,<ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 12''</ref> including the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] world of [[Arcadia]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P50|Enc22|Page=50}} It is situated approximately five days [[slipspace]] travel from the [[Epsilon Indi system]].<ref name="city">'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Arcadia City]]''</ref>
| | ==Trivia== |
| | [[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. |

| ==Overview==
| | 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. |

| ==History== | | ==References== |
| In [[2429]], the fourth planet orbiting Procyon, Arcadia, was [[Human colonies|colonized]] by the [[Unified Earth Government]],{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P50}} becoming a human colony known for its recreational amenities. Arcadia was [[Battle of Arcadia|invaded]] by the Covenant in [[2531]]. The system's defense fleet engaged the Covenant ships, suffering heavy casualties.{{Ref/Reuse|city}} 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 [[Fall of Arcadia|return]] to Arcadia later in 2549, glassing it.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P50}}<ref>'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''', ''September 9, 2549''</ref>
