MTF ARTEMIS Destroyer Mk 2

Medium sized vessel that can attack both smaller and larger opponents with focused firepower.

Derived from the experience with the prototype (now mothballed) MTF CALYPSO Class Cruiser, the Artemis was built with the intent to provide a mass production multi-role ship at a low cost that is easy to maintain; focusing on the combat capabilities rather than the more experimental ones. The Artemis houses a MK201 Gravity Accelerator Cannon in her bow to fire high-power unguided munitions and is designed for all conventional weapons to be able to shoot forwards for Close Quarters Battle (CQB). In an all aspect engagement, the main battery of turrets can shoot forwards and sideways and the defensive turrets can shoot in every direction. For ship to ship combat the vessel is equipped with 4 guided torpedo tubes which can fire a variety of munition types. The Artemis is the smallest Mars Territorial Fleet (MTF) ship-of-the-line combat vessels that internally carries a fully upgraded refinery and a large cargo container, which combined with her drone capacity makes her a good flotilla leader. When operating within the larger fleet environment, such as a pitched battle, the Artemis can act as a squadron leader. Due to its size, it can function well as a fast attack ship or to harass the enemy with hit-and-run tactics. The ship can also house various support or strike craft within its hangar.
