Procyon system
| System Type: | Binary system consisting of a Type F5IV-V (white main sequence) primary and a white dwarf companion.[1] |
| Astrography: | Andorian sector,[1] (Sector 38G,[2] Sector 006),[1] Beta Quadrant[1] |
| Affiliation: | United Federation of Planets[3] |
| Inhabited Worlds: | Andoria (Procyon A VIIIa)[1][4][Notes 1] |
| Other Planets: | Eight[1] planets of classes D, F, & J[5][4] |
| Other Stellar Objects: | A mineral-rich asteroid field in elliptical orbit beyond the orbit of Procyon VIII[5][1] |
| 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.[1] Procyon A is known as Kuy'va to the Andorians.[5][2] Only Andoria, the moon[4] of the eighth planet,[1] 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]
