Antares Star Systems and Planets

There are a wide range of planets and systems named in the guide to the Antares Universe, the V1 supplements and in some of the background and scenarios here on the Nexus. This article is a high-level gazetteer to those systems and planets of Antarean Space.

As new planets and systems were mentioned or identified, this will be updated. And as worlds are expanded upon, links to their detail articles will also be added here.

The ‘Where found’ column indicates where a reference to the planet or system was originally stated: ‘Universe’ refers to Antares 2: The Universe (2022); ‘BtGoA v1’ refers to the original core rulebook (2016) and is only mentioned where it gives substantial information above that of the A2 Universe; ‘Xilos’ to The Battle for Xilos supplement (2016); ‘Chryseis’ to The Chryseis Shard supplement (2017); ‘Dronescourge’ to The Dronescourge Return supplement (released mid 2018); ‘Splintering ‘refers to the PDF mini-supplement The Splintering Shard (2019); Bronvar refers to The Bronvar Campaign mini-campaign scenario PDF (2019).

Systems and Planets of Antares

System	Where found	Notes
Aan Four	Universe	System on the borders of the PanHuman Concord and Vorl Synthesis in the Seventh Segment in which Kamrana Josen single-handedly destroyed a shield generator and Vorl commander. Part of the Aan Shard led by the Mandarins of Aan (p.39).
Algor (Enbris/Onebris)	All	Capital of the Algoryn Prosperate and homeworld of the Algoryn. Orbits binary star system of Enbris and Onebris. See the Algoryn faction.
Alzantha	Universe	Capital of the Alzanthan Federation which dominated the Human League during the 6th Age (one of the Trisapients with the Isorian Senatex and NuXon Empire). Now lost.
Antagon IV	Core	An agricultural world, demense unknown. Chiefly known for poisonous whortleberries, a common weed with hallucinogenic pollen, prolonged exposure to which leads to delirium and paralysis.
Artica Tentu	Universe	A ruinous but complete Gatebuilder world discovered by the Alzanthans close to the northern polar axis in 2956, 6th Age. Exploration and exploitation of the world becomes a major source of dispute between the Trisapients. This is the last complete Gatebuilder world to be discovered prior to the Xilos Event and a source of several key technologies, including the Isorian realspace interstellar drive.
Averahn	Splintering, Universe	During the Splintering, a strategic lynchpin on the Northern Interface between the Senatex and Concord.
Bhanoon	Core	A world on the Southern Interface between the Senatex and Concord. Chiefly known for its equatorial volcanic jungles.
Bronvar	Bronvar	A volcanic, mining world part of Concord Shard Blue 519.
Borom	Universe	The First Age origin of the Boromites, now lost. A star surrounded by rich asteroid belts for which the Boromites were genetically tailored. See the Boromite faction.
Chryseis	Chryseis	System in which The Chryseis Shard supplement was based. The Chryseis Shard is a deadly machine intelligence that views life as erroneous. Chryseis-1 is a radioactive, acidic, boiling and storm-blasted planet that requires iso-drones for survival; the idyllic, pastoral Chryseis-2 had a Concord settlement (now wiped out); Chryseis-3 is a cold-dark mining planet and home to Tas Geren’do and eventually the Chryseis Locus itself.
Ch’ym	Chryseis	An unwelcoming world inhabited by crystalline life-forms living beneath the surface. Chiefly known for its crystal mines and for where Tas Geren’do received the injuries that resulted in his machine body.
Dama Tu	Core	System in the Aan Segment (part of the PanHuman Concord-Vorl Synthesis border and Seventh Segment) in which Kai Lek Atastrin gained fame.
De’el	Core	System bordering the Vorl Synthesis. Notable for its violent Storok volcanic belt in which Kamrana Josen fought.
Delhren III	Fiction; Chryseis	Home system of the Vardos Delhren. The Delhren capitol ship, Vard of Delhren, and the Delhren embassy host ship, Radiance of Delhren, orbit the star.
Djarn	Universe	Former Tsan Kiri colony 35 light years from Isori on which Tsan eggs were found, now Isorian human-Tsan Ra colony.
Dormon IV	Fiction	Warm, dry world just outside the borders of Ghar-Algoryn space used by Ghar Rebels to exchange goods for Outcasts.
Ephra	Universe	Frontier world in the Algoryn Prosperate (capital Set Five) in which General Tar Es Janar won fame leading the 63rd Armoured Infantry Division against the Ghar. Fartok 12-40-13 was framed to lose the attack on the Algoryn Sentinel here by Karg 12-40-9 and was declared Outcast, along with the survivors of Battlegroup Nine, initiating the Ghar Civil War. The capital is also called Ephra.
Exeth	Splintering	Criticial military frontier system for the Isorian Senatex from early in the Splintering.
Felseron	Splintering, Universe	A Concord system from around 7A700 amongst the most northerly of all Concord systems. After the fall of Averahn and the shrinking of the rift, Felseron lasted until around 7A1200 before it was absorbed into the expanding Senatex.
Forward C3-602	Splintering	A major C3 military base that is the locus of the Concord’s military might against the Isorian attempts to absorb the Concord. Almost captured in the 7A700s, it is a critical part of the defence against the Isorian’s Weleth salient.
Gethderah	Splintering	Originally (c.7A540) an Isorian frontier base against the rift of the same name. Captured by Concord forces from Foward C3-602 and Fermoght sometime in the mid 7th century when it became a critical C3 HQ system bolstering front-line systems against the Prosperate, the rift raiders and the Senatex. Operations centre for C3 Intelligence Mandarin Jai Galeyous.
