The Antares Sector (Imperial Coordinates 1/1) is located Coreward of Fornast Sector and Trailing of Lishun Sector.
- The sector is named after the star Antares, a class M supergiant that is one of the most luminous stars in the galaxy and is the largest in Charted Space.
- Another notable astrographic feature is the Antares Main, a grouping of systems within the sector forming a chain of worlds all reachable by jump-1.
- It is part of the Third Imperium's eponymous Domain of Antares.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Portions of Antares were settled during the First Imperium.
- As early as -8150 the Bureaux Naasirka won the right to develop a region in the Antares Sector, as well as bases and colonies connecting to the region.
The traditional symbol for Antares -- a series of triangles -- has been in use for more than 5000 years, but interpretations changed with time. Classically, the symbol represented a mountain range on Gaakish, the Vilani capital world for the region. As the Vargr population increased, Vargr came to see the triangles as Vargr claws.

The Ancients also constructed the artificial environment at Brygwaid.
