Antares system

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

The Antares system is a binary star system, (TOS: "A Piece of the Action") located in the Antares sector. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle") The primary star is called Antares (or Alpha Scorpii). (TOS: "Charlie X")

The Antares system may be home to the Antaran species, (ENT: "The Breach"), the location of the Antares maelstrom, and the source of Antarean brandy (TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?") and Antarean glow water. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles") The Starfleet-operated Beta Antares Ship Yards are also located in this system. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")

• Antares A
• Antares B
  • Beta Antares I
  • Beta Antares II
  • Beta Antares III
  • Beta Antares IV (TOS: "A Piece of the Action")

[edit] Background

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual claims that the Antares Ship Yards are located at Antares IV, which conflicts with on-screen evidence that puts the same yards in the Bajor sector (DS9: "The Search, Part I", "Valiant") and also in orbit of Earth. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

Antares should not be confused with the similarly named homeworld of the Antarian species from the Delta Quadrant.
