Antares Crystal Asteroid Field
The Antares Crystal Asteroids are a natural crystalline asteroid belt located in the grid coordinates F-10 in the northern part of the square grid in the Antares system. The Antares system lies in the Unknown Regions and travel there is dangerous for the unprepared. The Antares system itself has five planets consisting of uninhabitable worlds designed with the system's name and a number (Antares-1, Antares-2 .etc) with closed in trinary stars

For the asteroid belt itself, it is notable in that the crystal asteroids are not just composed of any crystals, but mostly kyber crystals and an abundant yield of them.

Also strangely, the asteroids also have a balanced Force Nexus enveloped around them, one of the Dark Side and of the Light Side, likely due to the crystals. The nexus can be felt radiating in space around by force sensitives.

The Antares Asteroids were discovered by hyperspace explorers around 139 ABY, making them a relatively new discovery. After word spread back to the main galaxy, many unsavory people and groups, including the Mining Guild are attempting to set up operations in the asteroids, seeking to exploit their yields for profit. The Jedi have fought back legally by legal means to secure the rights to the crystals themselves and keep them away from the Mining Guild, but very recently guild vessels have very recently arrived into the system. The largest of the asteroids, Antares Alpha, has infrastructure set up on it such as mining platforms and other equipment set on it.

Not going to lie, saw the artwork for the write-up in Stellaris and thought 'what if they were kyber crystals'. Anyways, this location will add a location of mystery and wonder, as well as kyber, the balaned force nexus and can be a very nice hook for Jedi or Sith players, or anyone that would love a chance to exploit the asteroid fields value, which opens it up to anyone.

So the idea overall seems fine, but the idea that there's just massive chunks of pure kyber floating in the breeze just kind of hits me weird and I'm not sure I like it.

If you mention somewhere that any of the asteroids of considerable heft (like ones you could land on, or have mining ops on) are composed primarily of kyberite, but have nougaty kyber-crystal centers I can approve it.
