Mu was a continent of Arcadia, a UNSC colony in the Procyon System. After the rest of the planet was abandoned due to the First Battle of Arcadia, a small group of settlers established the rural community of Abaskun, which supplied the UNSC with much needed foodstuffs until the colony was attacked again by the Covenant in 2549.[1]
