| System Type: | Binary system consisting of a Type F5IV-V (white main sequence) primary and a white dwarf companion.[2] |
| Location: | Sector 38G[3]/Andorian sector,[2] Beta Quadrant[2] |
| Affiliation: | United Federation of Planets[4] |
| Inhabited Worlds: | Andoria (Procyon A VIIIa)[2][1][Notes 1] |
| Other Planets: | Eight[2] planets of classes D, F, & J[5][1] |
| Other Stellar Objects: | A mineral-rich asteroid field in elliptical orbit beyond the orbit of Procyon VIII[5][2] |
| Artificial Objects: | Shipyards near Procyon VI,[5] Andoria VII Observatory[5] |
Eight planets orbit Procyon A, a Type F5IV-V white main sequence star, as well as a white dwarf companion, Procyon B.[2] Procyon A is known as Kuy'va to the Andorians.[5][3] Only Andoria, the moon[1] of the eighth planet,[2] is habitable.[5] The other worlds, which range from the class D and F inner planets to the Class J gas giants of the outer system, remain as they have been for millennia, owing to the Andorian dislike for terraforming.[5] These worlds nevertheless are home to Andorian colonies and outpoosts, as well as some Starfleet facilities.[5] The most well-known of these is the Andoria VII Observatory, one of the best-known interstellar observatories in the Federation.[5]
An asteroid field rich in crystalline minerals lies in an elliptical orbt beyond the furthest planet in the system.[5] It is home to a small mining operation run jointly by the Andorians and the Dytallix Mining Corporation, a partnership first established shortly after the founding of the Federation.[5]
The Procyon system's central location deep within Federation space would make it a prime target for an invading force, but few targets would be more difficult to take. The system has a permanent starship presence, typically hosting several starships at a time. Most of these are from Andoria's home fleet, but numerous Starfleet ships are often found in the system as well.[5]
Notes
- ↑ The Star Fleet Technical Manual listed the Andoria system as being the Epsilon Indii system. "Planets of the UFP: A Guide to Federation Worlds" and "Worlds" both listed Andoria as being the fifth planet of an otherwise-unspecified Andoria system, with a single G2III primary, also named Andoria. "Star Trek: Star Charts," however, established that Andoria was the eighth planet in the Procyon system, in keeping with the Star Trek: Enterprise episode, "The Andorian Incident," which established that Vulcan and Andoria were "neighboring systems." The episode "The Aenar" further established that Andoria was a moon in orbit of a ringed gas giant. To reconcile these conflicts, Andoria is listed here as Procyon A VIIIa, or the moon of the eighth planet orbiting Procyon A, in keeping with facts established in "Star Trek: Star Charts," which is most closely in line with those facts established on screen.
