SUMMARY
The Fall of Arcadia, also known as the Second Fall of Arcadia, was a Covenant invasion and subsequent loss of the colony world of Arcadia in the Procyon system on September 9th 2549. While Arcadia had been attacked by the Covenant already in 2531, the colony survived, and over the intervening years many colonists returned to resettle. The second attack resulted in the death of almost all inhabitants, and Arcadia was finally glassed.
