| rdfs:comment | - The Antares maelstrom was a powerful and destructive astronomical phenomenon. In 2285, Khan, during his mission of vengeance against James Kirk, swore he would chase Kirk "'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames" before giving up. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) This astronomical object was only mentioned in dialogue. The quote is paraphrased from Moby Dick, in which Ahab merely vows to follow the titular whale round the Norway Maelstrom instead.
- The Antares maelstrom is an area of extreme radioactivity located inside the Antares system. The use of the phrase Antares maelstrom is seen as a curse in the Federation. In 2268, an exasperated Ambassador Zarv used it as such when Captain Kirk stopped to help an alien vessel in distress, instead of rushing to an urgent diplomatic mission in the Ammdon system. In 2285, Khan Noonien Singh vowed that he would chase Kirk, "from the moon rings of Nibia, into the Antares maelstrom and 'round Perdition's flames", before giving up his quest for revenge. (TOS novel: Mutiny on the Enterprise; TOS movie: The Wrath of Khan)
