The Antares System truly is quite a marvel and well thought out in detailed. It will be interesting to see how a system with so many habitable planets and many types of division progresses over the course of this season. I do have one question when it comes to the whole "There are no recognizable constellations" thing. We know they are still in the Milky Way, so what about using the Andromeda or other galaxies to help with there position? Or does the Miasma have the effect of preventing telescopes from seeing at that range or something?

Nikiska was probably home to some alien species and Arianne was a site for nuclear weaponry tests. Though I dont know how the drones didnt catch the high level cancer inducing radiation if it were the cause.

[@Vespuchian]

@@ThatsPrettyFunnyMan To be fair, some cancers can be triggered by infection, something that wouldn't be obvious to a planetary survey like radiation. I support the idea of Nikiska having an endemic species and the whole planet being declared a preserve. The reason for the secrecy is probably out of the (quite legitimate) concern that if the presence of a sapient but 'primitive' alien species was made public it would invite all kinds of interference. Far easier to declare quarantine and 'nothing of note here' than try and police an entire planet to discourage poachers/slavers/tourists

Only over 2 years later did I notice that Antares has planets that this video did not even mention (Konjit, and Kimberley).

[@brianbrady139]

I think it would be interesting to turn one of the planets in the Antares system into an ecumenopolis (Maybe Dakarai because it's the most populous), and see how this development of mass urbanization could affect the confederacy in the early years and how a city planet would impact it in the later. The urbanization of the planet could be used as a way to explain certain planets developing specializations (such as an Agri world of Forge world), It could then be interesting to see the different republics on the planet fight over the new land being reviled by the residing coastline and many of the republics fighting over trade with the different states of the developing ecumenopolis (this battle of trade rights could also extend to settling rights to newly discovered planets and the right to mine asteroids as well), which could be one of the events that challenge the continuation of the confederacy as each republic picks aside resaluting gride lock in the Antares parliament and could possibly cause or almost cause a civil war. One the ecumenopolis complete and the potential crisis is ovever it could also be interesting to see how it would affect the government of the confederacy is it could potentially lead to greater centralization (as often happened due to urbanization) and if some sort a civil war/conflict does occur perhaps it could be similar to what happened to the U.S after the civil war when people started seeing America as one nation instead of a nation of nations, just an idea I thought would be cool.
