| Designer Notes |
| Modern anti-aircraft duties are usually handled by a dedicated laser or particle beam weapon system. Their direct line-of-sight and practically instantaneous response time generally mean that once a target is acquired, it is shot down. Energy weapons are temperamental beasts, however, require more mtaintenance and specialized training than standard projectile weapons. The Artemis anti-aircraft vehicle has been designed to address this problem. It was commissioned in TN 1888 by the Southern MILICIA itself (with the always benevolent advice of the Republic) to prepare for the chaos and tensions which would eventually lead to the Judas Syndrome. Instead of assigning the contract to an independent company, however, the MILICIA formed a group of specialized military engineers working under its command and ensured the Artemis would be designed following their specifications. The vehicles would then be assembled by proven sub-contractors. The Artemis was finalized in TN 1892 and entered production earlyh Spring 1893. Several thousand Artemises were built and deployed near Badlands borders, where Northern operations were disturbing the peaceful relationship of the Republic with the neighboring Badlanders. The Artemises served as a reminder that the South was ever vigilant and would not be challenged, either on the ground or in the air. |
