== History ==
Launched in 2399, the USS Artemis was one of the first of the Flight-II Vesta-class Explorers to be launched into service, utilising the most up-to-date technologies available. Under the command of Captain Tyra Crawford, she was assigned to test the new Quantum Slipstream Drive by flying to Pioneer Outpost, and along the way investigating a rogue planet discovered nearby. While the overall mission was a success, it ended in a terrifying discovery: the rogue planet was in actuality a gigantic Borg ship.
After a short recovery period, Starfleet assembled a task force to assault the newly-awakened Borg and put a stop to them before they could attack. Led by Admiral Thrawn on the Enterprise, the attack was overall a failure. The Megasphere itself was destroyed, but scores of support craft - regular sized spheres and probes - escaped, along with a pair of assimilated Doomsday Machines. Also, most of the ships attacking the Megasphere were lost, though fortunately the Artemis managed to escape without critical damage.
