| 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. | |||||||
