[3067]The rugged, resource-rich world of Procyon was first settled in 2134 and eventually became a stronghold
of the old Terran Alliance. The world became a major naval base for the Star League as a Hegemony planet, but
was infamous for being the staging world from which Oliver Marik and his supporters planned the start of the
Marik Civil War.
After the Star League's collapse, the Free Worlds League seized Procyon and held it for nearly 200 years
before the Capellan Confederation captured it in 2370. The Federated Commonwealth became Procyon's next
steward after the Fourth Succession War. In early 3059, after two hellish years under the control of a former
Blakist renegade named Alisendar Gyn, the Free Worlds League recaptured Procyon.
Despite this frequent changing of hands, however, the natives of Procyon have retained a fairly indifferent attitude
toward conquerors, clinging to most of the customs handed down from the days of the long-vanished Terran
Hegemony. The greatest sign of this planetwide sense of apathy was the long-abandoned Brigadeer Corporation
'Mech factory in the virtual ghost city of Cleveburg. Located on the pockmarked and rocky southern continent
of Halbiero, this factory and its surrounding city experienced a small revival when Earthwerks finally decided to
purchase and restore the decrepit complex in the 3050s.
Today, Procyon is a largely agricultural world of sparsely populated farmlands and forests, though the new
Earthwerks-Procyon Engineering Vehicles plant produces and exports enough industrial vehicles and 'Mechs to
form a secondary planetary industry. The less mountainous supercontinent of Greene, home to the majority of
Procyon's small cities and large agro-plexes, is located just north of Halbiero, and extends into the planet's polar
regions. The capital city of Guilded Halls, located on Greene, along the Wantu River, also boasts Procyon's
largest spaceport and the nearby ruins of a Star League-era Castle Brian that was destroyed during the Amaris
crisis by an orbital bombardment.
Aside from Greene and Halbiero, the bulk of Procyon's surface land takes the form of the Unspoiled Isles, a
chain of miniature island-continents stretching along the southern hemisphere, east of Halbiero. The Unspoiled
Isles are heavily wooded, but dotted with the remains of abandoned cities and destroyed Castles Brian, a nearly
forgotten vestige of the days of the Star League.

[3132]Procyon was originally part of the Free Worlds League until the creation of The Republic. Pollux became
part of Prefecture X under the control of The Republic. After the fall of the HPG Network Fortress Republic
was created and many of the worlds under its control were set free.
[3135] Pollux remained part of The Republic and is now under its protection, inside the Fortress Republic.
