Tereshkova is a star system located in the Armstrong cluster. Tereshkova is a binary star system, although both suns have a low energy output compared to Armstrong's other binary system, Vamshi. The system is moderately sized, and lacks the capability to support permanent civilization due to its six planets lacking any real capacity for habitation: nevertheless, pirates, slavers and mercenary bands enjoyed using the region to stage their operations, due to this very reason. A small Alliance force would be dispatched to the region prior to the Skyllian Blitz to secure it against batarian attack until 2183 CE, where they were expelled from Armstrong by a geth heretic invasion force looking to establish a base there, with the geth establishing a base on Antibaar in preparation for this invasion. This was thwarted by the Normandy Squad however, who waged a week-long campaign and eventually kicked the geth out of the system: following the war, the Alliance tightened control over Tereshkova, turning the former geth stronghold on Antibaar into an outpost to monitor pirate activity. When the Reapers invaded in 2186 CE, the entire cluster was swiftly abandoned.
At the height of the Galactic Dominion, the Republic of Rannoch, Systems Coalition and Tuchankan Military Confederacy co-jointly began colonization efforts across Armstrong, although Antibaar was used primarily by Prometheus for establishing classified black sites. After the Dominion Civil War, the Unified Galactic Republics established numerous research posts on Antibaar, with the hope of terraforming it to be livable some day, but these were eventually abandoned in favor of focusing on other worlds, leaving Tereshkova largely abandoned. In 2446 CE, Patamalrus' atmosphere was totally stripped away, and by 2525 CE, Mawinor had been ejected from the system entirely.
