Antos IV

For other uses, see Antos.

Antos IV, also known simply as Antos, or Dorafane to its natives, was the fourth planet in the Antos system and homeworld of the reclusive humanoid Antosians, a member of the United Federation of Planets.

The Federation starship USS Antos IV was named for this planet.

History[]

See Antosians.

Some native organisms, including the people of this world, had cellular-energy releasing properties. Xenobiologists noted the Antosian dryworm, to a degree, naturally gave off an electrical charge. (TOS episode & Star Trek 7 novelization: Who Mourns for Adonais?)

Before its people mastered technology, one of their natural sources of transportation was a riding animal called an elleis. Similar to a Terran horse (TNG movie, novelization & comic adaptation: Generations) or Klingon sark (TNG episode: "Pen Pals"), these beasts thrived in the wild, while some were tamed for usage. (TOS novel: Garth of Izar)

Antos IV was discovered sometime in the mid-22nd century, shortly before the Earth-Romulan War. The inhabitants called their planet Dorafane. (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation)

In 2251, the USS Heisenberg, commanded by Captain Garth, visited the planet. While beaming down to the surface, a transporter accident massively disfigured the captain, who was taught the Antosian technique of cellular metamorphosis as a healing measure. Unfortunately, the technique caused Garth to go mad and attempt to destroy the planet. (TOS episode & Star Trek 5 novelization: Whom Gods Destroy, TOS novel: Garth of Izar)

The world supported class 0 orbital starship facilities (ST reference: Star Trek Maps). By the late 2280s had a technological/sociopolitical index of 667685-67, but had not yet been assigned a planetary trade profile. (FASA RPG module: The Federation)

King Pyrim was coronated on Antos IV at some point, an event that was attended by Federation representatives. (Adventures RPG module: Core Rulebook)

Alternate timelines[]

In the Kelvin timeline, Heisenberg's crew presumed Garth had died during the transporter accident. In 2263, Garth kidnapped Eurydice on Antos IV, prompting her daughter Thalia to retrieve James T. Kirk to help search for her. Unfortunately, it was a trap, and Garth was able to depart Antos IV aboard Eurydice's ship Spectral to seek revenge on his former crew. (TOS - Boldly Go - Whom God Destroys comics: "Issue 11", "Issue 12")

Politics[]

In the early 2250s, Antos IV was not yet a member of the United Federation of Planets. (Last Unicorn RPG module: Star Trek: The Original Series Core Game Book)

After becoming a member, Antos IV, prior to 2270, restricted its participation in Federation matters to subspace radio only. (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation)

A dissident movement slowly formed after Garth's visit and became prevalent in 2269. Garth returned to Antos IV in 2270 and stopped the rebellion. He was appointed as Federation ambassador to the planet soon afterward. His term of office became a personal, lifelong commitment. (TOS novel: Garth of Izar)

Planetary information[]

Astronomical Data[]

Antos was a planet in the Alpha Quadrant. (ST reference: Star Charts)

It was reported either to have five moons (FASA RPG module: The Federation) or none (ST references: Star Charts, The Worlds of the Federation).

Location[]

A few locations for Antos IV have been put forth over the years.

Socratii (FASA RPG module: The Federation)
Antos (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation)
Kappa Delphini (ST reference: Star Charts)

The Federation FASA supplement mistakenly referred to this planet as the seventh planet.

Geography[]

Antos IV is uninhabitable at the upper and lower latitudes due to the extreme cold. The equatorial region is where life is supported with a reasonably warm, temperate climate. (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation)

Some of the stronger metals used for building had luminescent properties. (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation)

Antosian dryworms resided in the world's desert regions. (Decipher RPG module: Creatures)
