Procyon was a planetary system. This system had binary companion stars, Procyon A and Procyon B, and at least five planets. It was located near Sol, Alpha Centauri, and Sirius. This system was located in the Alpha Quadrant.
On several occasions in 2364, viewscreen readouts aboard the USS Enterprise-D showed the location of the A and B Procyon stars, in the form of a star chart from the Enterprise library computer. (TNG: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost", "Conspiracy")
Procyon was most notable for the fact that in an alternate future, the Battle of Procyon V, where the Sphere Builders were defeated, was fought here in the 26th century. (ENT: "Azati Prime")
Background
Star Chart
This chart naming stars within 20 light years of Sol was drawn by Rick Sternbach for the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology in the late 1970s. Found on page 77, this chart showed Earth commercial and exploration routes after the use of warp drive began. There were no commercial or exploration routes to this system. The stars Alpha Centauri, Sol, Sirius, and Tau Ceti were identified on "The Explored Galaxy" wall chart as being located in the Alpha Quadrant..
