== History ==

The Antares was testing a new type of [[hyperdrive]], believed to be a prototype of the [[Frame Shift Drive]]. It malfunctioned catastrophically due to a power regulator failure. This culminated in the ship's destruction and the deaths of all crew and passengers when it attempted to jump. Although no wreckage was found at the time, it was concluded that the Antares Incident was enabled by insufficient safety precautions in the hyperdrive's design. This damaged Sirius Corp's reputation and delayed the commercial release of the new hyperdrive model by decades. The loss of the Highliner Antares has been frequently compared to the loss of [[Starship One]] in 3301, which occurred under similar circumstances.

In December 3301, Sirius Corporation CEO [[Li Yong-Rui]] sponsored a new search for the Antares, resulting in the successful identification of its wreckage in Luyten 205-128, in a Salvageable Wreckage cluster orbiting the system's star. According to Sirius Corp's analysis of recovered pieces of the wreckage, the malfunction that caused the ship's destruction was more likely than not simply the result of a tragic accident. The late [[Federation|Federal]] [[President of the Federation|Vice President]] [[Nigel Smeaton]] was thought to have been assassinated in January 3301 for uncovering possible evidence of [[Core Dynamics]]' involvement in the Antares' disappearance, but this theory was never substantiated. In July 3302, Sirius Corp unveiled a memorial to the victims of the Antares Incident crafted by renowned artist Delvin Hoorgan.<ref>Tourist Beacon 0691, "Memorial to the Highliner Antares Unveiled"</ref>
