In the television series Star Trek: Enterprise, the Battle of ProcyonFive was a battle fought in the 26th century in which the United Federation of Planets (alongside their former enemies, the Xindi) fought against the Sphere Builders.
Captain Jonathan Archer of the 22nd century vessel Enterprise (NX-01) witnessed a few minutes of this battle when he was transported aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-J) by the time-traveller Daniels during the midst of Archer's mission to investigate a Xindi attack on Earth.
The battle figures prominently in the "Azati Prime" episode of Enterprise.
The Adrenaline Vault Review of Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Battle at Procyon intriguingly embeds vessels and weaponry of 17th and 18th century pirates into a futuristic outer space realm.
The controls for Battle at Procyon are highly intuitive: You zoom in on the action using the mouse wheel, and press the right mouse button to pan around.
There are plenty of fascinating environmental noises, from the screeching of whales, to the whoosh of passing vessels, to the crack of a storm's fury, to the blast of machine-rocking explosions.
With a crew of Xindi and humans, among others, the Enterprise-J, along with a fleet of Federation ships, fought against and defeated the Sphere Builders at the Battle of ProcyonFive.
Daniels brought Jonathan Archer to this time (in the midst of the battle) for a few minutes from Archer's own place in the year 2154.
Following their defeat in the 26th century, the Sphere Builders traveled back in time to the 22nd century to convince the Xindi in that century that humans were a dangerous threat.
Procyon transported troops and equipment through August to Malevu Island, Noumea and Pearl, and then transfered to the Atlantic in September to join the Amphibious Force of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet for the planned invasion of North Africa.
Procyon departed Philadelphia 28 December for her second tour of Pacific duty, arriving Pearl Harbor 19 January 1945.
Procyon arrived Seattle 14 November, shifted to Portland, Oregon 18 November, and sailed two days later to report to the Mare Island Navy Yard for inactivation.
Procyon (AK-19) was laid down 15 January 1940 as MC hull 22, SS Sweepstakes, by the Tampa SB and DD Co., Fla. ; launched and acquired by the Navy, through MARAD, 14 November 1940; sponsored by Miss Dorthy Ramspeck; and commissioned 8 August 1941 as Procyon (AK-19), at Charleston, S.C., Comdr.
Procyon participated in the invasion landings at Sicily in July and at Salerno in September.
Procyon, with men of the 180th Battalion of the famed 45th Army "Thunderbird" Division embarked, participated in the landings at the Golfe de St. Tropez 15 August.

By approximately the year 2550, the Sphere Builders were on the verge of accomplishing their goal when they created a habitable sphere about 50,000 light years in all directions.
However, as Daniels showed Jonathan Archer on board the Enterprise-J, the United Federation of Planets engaged the Sphere Builders at the Battle of ProcyonFive and ultimately pushed them back to their trans-dimensional realm, preventing a galactic holocaust.
When Archer tried to tell the Xindi Council that the Sphere Builders were the enemy, Degra told him that the Council may not believe him.
Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon is more like a sequel to a movie that hasn't been released yet.
In any battle, there's a significant amount of strategy involved to maximize your weapons fire on the enemy by keeping yourself in motion and keeping your boat positioned to make the most devastating strikes.
However, the subsequent missions are better paced and during battles, the speed isn't too slow at all.
The Terran Empire is on the cusp of a peace treaty with the Procyon Empire, but space pirates have made space travel dangerous for both of these former enemies.
Meanwhile, coincidentally, a Procyon fleet is en route to the heart of Terran territory to finalize the peace treaty.
That conveniently leaves Jim pretty much alone in Terran space to battle pirates, as well as to extend a cautious welcome to the suspicious Procyon visitors and also to investigate alarming rumors that Ironclads have secretly penetrated the heartland of the Terran homeworlds.
The war culminated in 2554 with the Battle of ProcyonFive, in which the Federation defeated the invaders.
The war was fought sometime in the 2150s or 2160s and was one of the factors which led to the founding of the Federation.
It could be said to have began in 2364 with the Borg's assimilation of Federation outposts near the Romulan Neutral Zone, and might be considered to have finished in 2377 with Voyager's return to Earth after destroying a large chunk of the Borg.
Battle at Procyon follows Ensign Jim Hawkins (the protagonist of the film) five years after the movie as he finishes Royal Cadet Guard training.
Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon is a good game that features nice gameplay and great graphics, although the pacing problems could turn away some gamers looking for instant action.
Battle at Procyon uses some pretty nice gameplay elements, like the ability to grapple and board enemy ships.

Captain Archer decides he will fly the Xindi-Insectoid shuttle on a one-way mission into the weapon and detonate photonic torpedoes to destroy it.
Daniels pulls Captain Archer 400 years into the future, aboard the Enterprise-J during the battle of ProcyonFive, where the Federation will engage the Sphere-builders in a growing region of reconfigured space that extends 50,000 light years in all directions.
Daniels says that the Sphere-builders have technology to examine alternate timelines, and after seeing this future -- when the Federation defeats the Sphere-builders and drives them back into their transdimensional realm -- the Sphere-builders contacted the Xindi in the past and convinced them to attack Earth so that the Federation will never exist.

It wasn't overkill, but he certainly got the emotion of his anger across, which was clearly validated in his eyes and facial features.
In an effort to convince Archer that he must change his present course of action, Daniels whisks him 400 years into the future to show him the Battle of ProcyonFive, where the Federation was at war with the Sphere Builders.
I was a bit confused about this section of the show.
