| 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>

A small number of human colonists remained on the planet, which was eventually glassed when the Covenant [[Second Battle of Arcadia|returned]] in [[2549]]. |
