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

Antares vicinity.

It was 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 was 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 were 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)

In the 2360s decade, this location was noted on a star chart showing deployment of Federation and Cardassian Union ships displayed in Captain Benjamin Maxwell's ready room aboard the starship USS Phoenix. (TNG episode: "The Wounded")

In the year 2366, a viewscreen display of a tactical situation monitor where the Klingon Empire was at war with the United Federation of Planets listed Antares on a star chart.

Background[]

Antares was listed on the "Yesterday's Enterprise" alternate timeline tactical situation monitor showing progress of the Klingon war with the Federation, and a later re-use of this chart in "The Wounded". No history or specifics are established for this location in Starfleet Command III, as its name was arbitrarily selected for a Federation system on the game map by the game software, with random attributes.
