History
The Artemis Class frigate, along with the Atmos class destroyer, was developed in parallel to the Amon Star Class battleship. The Artemis class was primarily designed as a highly-capable area defense platform, providing anti missile and small-craft coverage for a battlegroup or convoy.
Design
The Artemis class frigate is a small, fast sublight warship incorporating advanced area defense technology. Sensor systems are designed with missile interception in mind, sacrificing some range to achieve both high angular resolution and a fast scan rate. Most of the sensors aboard the frigate operate in hyper or subspace, in order to facilitate the detection of relativistic and faster-than-light attacks.
Armament
- 120 Vertical Launch System cells, primarily reserved for interceptor missiles
- 1 medium beam canon
- Various point defense systems
Sublight Propulsion
- Gravitic Drive, maximum acceleration: 3000 G
- Plasma Thrusters, maximum acceleration: 18 G (used as backup)
- Reaction control system
