Procyon

Procyon is an orange dwarf star at 074.2 : 226.8, the home star system of the Chenjesu. The star system contains five planets and two moons. At the end of the First War, the Chenjesu requested to be slave-shielded together with the Mmrnmhrm on their homeworld in this system. The two races began a 35 Earth year-long synthesis, which they call "The Process," powered only by the radiant energy of Procyon. Since the energy output of Procyon is not entirely constant, the exact duration for The Process is uncertain.¹ It was the hope of the two races to join their species to create a unified race of crystaline machines. However, with the aid of the Sun Device, The Captain accelerates the Process, allowing a new race, the Chmmr, to emerge and join the New Alliance.

The following is a list of planets and moons in this star system:

• Planet I - Halide World
• Planet II - Sapphire World - Chenjesu homeworld (slave-shielded)²
  • Hierarchy Starbase - abandoned
• Planet III - Gas Giant
  • Moon IIIa - Alkali World
  • Moon IIIb - Dust World
• Planet IV - Azure World
• Planet V - Copper World

Notes and references

¹In-game dialogue with the proto-Chmmr gives the 35 year duration. The Role Playing Resource Guide gives a duration 90-110 years for The Process (p. 23).

²The Ilwrath start guarding Procyon II with an endless number of Avenger starships when The Captain obtains the Sun Device. The Captain removes the enemy starships by sending them on a jihad against the Thraddash.
