Benjamin Maxwells tactical monitor — The location of Antares on the tactical situation monitor

Antares was the primary of the Antares binary system. The secondary was Beta Antares. This system was located in the Antares sector. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King"; TNG: "Conspiracy", display graphic; TNG: "The Wounded", display graphic)

Antares was mentioned as a distant location, "somewhere, beyond the stars", in the song Beyond Antares. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King", "The Changeling")

In 2367, the location of Antares was depicted on a tactical situation monitor in Captain Benjamin Maxwell's ready room on the USS Phoenix. This chart illustrated the location of Cardassian and Federation fleet deployments within a year of the peace treaty between the two powers. (TNG: "The Wounded", display graphic)

In an alternate 2366, this same monitor illustrated the fleet deployments in the Federation-Klingon War. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise" display graphic)

Background

The Federation starships Antares and USS Antares and the Antares class freighters were presumably named after this star.

According to Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets II"), Antares (or Alpha Scorpii) was located in non-aligned space, in the Beta Quadrant. This was a binary star system. Antares A was a M-class star with a magnitude of -3, which was a thousand times brighter than Sol. Antares B was a B-class star.
