Antares (or Alpha Scorpii) is a binary star system located in the Antares sector of the Beta Quadrant.

History and specificsEdit

The twin stars that make up this system are referred to as Antares A and Antares B. The system's stars are spectral class M and spectral class B, respectively. (TOS episode: "Charlie X", ST references: The Worlds of the Federation, Star Charts)

It is one of the Federation's most remote systems as well as being its most coreward. (ST reference: Star Charts)

At many points in the vicinity of the Federation, Antares is one of the brightest bodies visible. Shortly before stardate 7502.9, at 0739 hours, the USS Enterprise observed in line-of-sight when Antares occulted Deneb, meaning the two brightest stars visible to their ship appeared to merge. As it wasn't an exciting mission, most of the Enterprise crew attended a viewing of the spectacle. (TOS novel: World Without End)

The system's inhabitants are known as the Antarans, who have spread out across the system from Beta Antares IV. (ENT episode: "The Breach")

The numerous inhabited worlds are politically united as the Antares Corona Worlds, and are represented on the Federation Council. (TOS novels: Death's Angel, Prime Directive) In the 23rd century, the Antaran ambassador to the Federation was an individual named Marmeluke. (TOS novel: Death's Angel)

Starfleet's Beta Antares Ship Yards were in the Antares system. (VOY episode: "Message in a Bottle")

Several Federation starships named USS Antares were named for this system.

One of the planets in the Antares system was Andros. (TOS novel: Yesterday's Son)
