Procyon is a binary star system that consists of a white F-type main-sequence star, named Procyon A, and a faint white dwarf companion called Procyon B. Procyon A is currently in the last stage of its main sequence, showing signs of expansion as the last of its hydrogen core is used up. Though Procyon A is dying, the city-station Remus that orbits the binary pair is in no immediate danger, and as such continues to serve its vitally important role as a trading hub and academic beacon of the interstellar colonial network. Though technically within United Nations Aerospace Coalition's jurisdiction, Procyon (like Sirius) is a shared system.
