Artemis, Asteroid

Asteroid Number 105

Asteroid Group Main Asteroid Belt

Sidereal Period 3.7 years

Diameter (Mean) 119.1 kilometres



Named for the Greek goddess of the hunt, Artemis pursues a course beyond the orbit of Mars. Artemis belongs to the Phocaea Group, a collection of asteroids whose highly inclinced orbits fall between that of Mars and the true Asteroid Belt.



The Asteroid origially was part of an alternative plan to Operation Steam Roller. There was the possibility that the plan would not work and human kind needed an alternative option to escape extinction caused by a possible Xunx attack.

One such plan was to create an Asteroid ship.

A concept long proposed by Earth scientists even before the Ascent.

Asteroid 105 was chosen and construction begun as early as 2095.

Construction was abandoned after Steam Roller and Raid were a success.

The half finished Asteroid ship became a United Earth Fleet Base.

During the Y'All war, the posibility of an at leastpartial evacuation of Earth was considered and the Asteroid ship was finished.

Artemis is to this day a fully functional asteroid ship, but has never been used.

Today it is used as a Sol Defense base and fighter base.
