	The smallest of the inhabitable words, Acheron is, technically, classified as a dwarf planet. The closest of the four worlds to the star, it has the highest temperatures, and, due to its lower mass and proportionally smaller atmosphere, it suffers greater fluctuations between day and night. These features, combined with the scarcity of water, make Acheron at least an unpleasant, if not fatal, place for any unprepared visitors that make it to the world. Acheron is also the only world in the system not currently under the dominion of the inhabitants of Antares 19. Acheron has the fastest orbital period as well, at 5.3 Earth years, but, like all the worlds, it uses [[Antares calendar\|Antares 19's years]] as a point of reference. The people are mostly tribal, but with the recent rebellion, the fighting amongst themselves has dropped dramatically, and the world is run by a militant government.

		+	As might be expected in a culture with such militant tendencies, the speech used by the natives of this planet and those nearby reflects this: greetings might range from "May your spear never rust," a neutral greeting which indicates at least no ill-will to the recipient, to the somewhat friendlier "Foes' blood guide you to shade;" still, there are a number of such phrases of varying degrees. Likewise, a farewell might range from the near-threat "When we meet again," to "Stills and shade" (stills being the main method of attaining water for many). The majority of both revolve around water, blood, shade, weapons, and battle. Amongst the people of Acheron, truces are usually kept, mercy granted except in the case of blood feuds, and offers of water or shelter close to inviolate offers of peace until the person departs, should they accept. These things usually do not extend as far as the Ninets, but for those from other world, it varies from Acheronian to Acheronian.

 The Antares cluster was never intended to be a permanent habitation; how it ended up as one is the matter of some speculation, whether it be a science mission gone wrong, a colony ship gone astray, or something else entirely.  Whatever the case, the harsh environment, in which no life existed prior to the arrival of the colonists and their highly ineffective attempts at terraforming, led to a swift decay of what technology might have been had by the first settlers, save on Antares Nineteen, upon which a very little survived.  Living conditions there have always been slightly more tolerable, but only recently did they redevelop interplanetary flight.  Their higher technology allowed them a conquest, by trade and coercion as much as by conquest, and allowed their culture to impose itself upon the primarily nomadic tribes of the other planets.

	Now that the Antares colonies have grown well beyond their own means, the prevention of mass death is held off by two things: the exporting of slaves to other worlds, and the constant stream of bodies which is sent to Sephii, although, with Nineteen never having truly suppressed the tribal warfare on the others, many find their services as bodyguards or mercenaries worthwhile and take them away from the system. What little technology the Antares people receive, for most of their trade is returned as food, falls into the hands of the Ninets, who use it to enforce their dominion.
