Antares Fleet Yards Patch

Has there ever been a patch produced for the Antares Fleet yards? I took an old Fire department job shirt and put a UFP flag on the Right side chest and a Defiant Development patch on the left chest ( to cover up embroidery). I want to add two patches to the sleeves but want to keep it Defiant themed. I am going to get a DS9 Bajor sector patch I saw an ebay for one and was hoping to find Antares patch for the other. I then want to put the her name and registry on the back.

What do you think?
 
All I could find was this, from deviant art, and it says it is in the 'Antares Sector'.

That could be remedied using photoshop (I could even do it for you if you like, a bit later on, I'm just on my way to go sit on a hill nearby and contemplate Nimoy) - and you could get a professional patch maker to make it for you using the image, like these guys http://www.thestudio.com/patches/

I'm not sure how canonical the picture is, but there doesn't seem to be much out there about the Antares Fleet Yards at any rate.

Good luck my friend!! :)

ps. hangon.. is beta antares yards the same as the antares yards? The title of this pic is McKinley Station. I'm confused!

Looking at Memory Alpha it looks like they are two different yards. Also if you look at the dedication plaques, for Defiant: http://www.bolarus.de/sibs/pic/plake8.jpg
and for Prometheus: http://www.neutralzone.de/database/...metheus_USS_Prometheus_Dedication_Plaques.htm
the Defiant was built at Antares Fleet yards Bajor sector while Prometheus was Built at Beta Antares , Antares Sector. I researched several different sites for both these and they all say the same.

yeah... that's exactly what made me confused. Antares and its companion star Antares B is approximately 550 light years from Earth (other sites say 600+), but I have no idea if that puts it in the Bajor sector (which is actually pretty big) within Star Trek canon.... I think that obsidianfleet site might be getting things wrong... or is there a possibility that both are true? Perhaps the Bajor sector became named as such later on when the area became of more interest to the UFP, after the Fleet Yards at Antares had already been long operational?

edit: that's still a 150 day trip to Antares even at Warp 9, assuming a distance of 600 light years :/
