| Antares was once the primary star of the [[Antares System]] bearing its namesake. It is an [[starwars:M-class|M-class]] super-giant star many hundreds of times larger than [[starwars:Coruscant Prime|Coruscant Prime]]. Nearing 5 billion years in age, Antares is a relatively young star with immense hydrogen reserves. It is reddish in color and its name translates as “Holds Against Darkness” in seven known languages. The irony here is not lost on the Brotherhood’s scholars. | | Antares was once the primary star of the [[Antares System]] bearing its namesake.

| | The star’s normal existence was violently interrupted in 2950 BBY during [[Tiamat]] and the [[Triumvirate]]’s failed ritual to harness the power of [[Ante]]. In a cataclysmic series of events, [[Antei]] and its children sheared loose from the fabric of space-time as the dark hand of gravity, augmented to unnatural proportions by the sorceress, reached across the stars beckoning them with irresistible force. |
| | Antares is now the sole source of light for both systems. The Dark Star orbits around it in a binary configuration not seen elsewhere in the galaxy. |
