“The red supergiant heart of Scorpius, wide enough to swallow Mars's orbit, whose very name means 'rival of Mars' — and she takes the title personally.”

The living story
The story so far
Antares has been the heart of the Scorpion since before the constellations had names, a red supergiant wide enough to swallow Mars's orbit. Her name means 'rival of Mars,' and she earned it the hard way.
Happening now
She and Betelgeuse are locked in their oldest argument yet: whose supernova will be grander. The court has stopped trying to mediate.
What may come
The Primordial Suns drift closer to something no one will name, and Antares has begun polishing her heart-jewel. For a war or a wedding, she won't say.
