History
Antares Major, as was the case with the rest of the Antares System, was chaotically merged with the Antei system during the Obscuration. These titanic cosmic events very nearly saw the destruction of the gas giant. As it were, the planet’s rotational axis was violently realigned nearly perpendicular to its former axis.
Now rotating almost on its equator, Antares Major is an atmospheric hell of electrically-charged super-storms. These turbulent climatic events have recently garnered even more attention from the Brotherhood as findings have shown a causal relationship between vagaries in the Force and the intensities of these storms.
Recent traumatic events within the Brotherhood have noticeably increased the fervor of the Antaran storms. According to climatological records, the storms have abated in times of relative quiescence. The specific nature of this relationship remains unknown as do its effects on the planet or the Brotherhood.
Moons
Antares Minor
Orbiting Antares Major at a distance of 364,000 km, Antares Minor is the former home to the now-extinct Antaran civilization. Another failed core, minor planet, Antares Minor was made habitable by the warlike Antarans through the use of geodesic pressure-domes and massive subterranean constructs that allowed the relatively small, yet capable civilization to not only survive the merger of the two systems, but thrive.
A short time after the Exodus, sometime in the year 21 ABY, a feud between the Antaran Columnate and the fledgling Brotherhood erupted. Wiped off the face of Antares Minor to the last, the Antaran civilization had faced nothing like the wrathful Lord Cotelin.
Their insurrection at an end, nothing remained of their civilization save its name and place as a footnote in the sanguinary history of the Brotherhood.
Naustlia
Antaran for “shell”, Naustlia is an iron-nickel core rock in elliptical orbit some 221,450 km round its parent body. Devoid of any valuable resources or notable features, the moon remains in both commercial and academic neglect.
Political Outlook
Formerly of the Antaran Columnate, Antares Major is without political affiliation save for its stewardship by the Brotherhood.
