Template:Ratings The Procyon System (pronounced /'proʊsɪən/) is a planetary system situated five days slipspace travel from the Epsilon Indi System. Arcadia, a UNSC colony world, which was invaded by the Covenant in 2531, is orbiting the system.[1]. The eventual fate of the planet and its star system are unknown.
Trivia
(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.
