Behind the scenes
Antares is a star in real life, and the heart of the constellation Scorpius&mdash;the name is Greek, and means "counter to Mars", in reference to this star's striking red color&mdash;appropriate for a red-armored Imperial Knight. In other languages, Antares has also historically been known as "the heart of the scorpion".

"Draco" is the Latin word for dragon, and gives its name to a constellation of the northern sky. Draco was also the name of an Athenian ruler, supposedly of the seventh century BC, whose association with a harsh early penal code gave rise to the word "draconian", meaning "severe".
