Brief history...

Role

Antares was employed by Task Force 62's Firefox Strike Group as a ship of the line. The cruiser was compact, yet formidable and able to trade fire with much larger vessels like the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. Antares was assigned to support II Legion, 13th Starborne Division.
