The Artemis-class battlecruiser is a model of heavy cruiser utilised by the UNSC in the latter half of the Human-Covenant War. One of the largest dedicated cruisers of its time, the Artemis was built off the frame of a heavily-modified Marathon-class cruiser. As a result, it shared its cousin's emphasis on speed and firepower at the expense of durability. It was also an technologically advanced warship, incorporating the latest in weapons and sensor systems to allow it to destroy almost any opponent that has the misfortune to be designated as targets. This made it uniquely-suited to the role of artillery, staying away from the thick of combat to pick off opposing capital ships. They were also well-suited to the role of heavy patrol, searching remote systems for any signs of Covenant activi

abstract
| - The Artemis-class battlecruiser is a model of heavy cruiser utilised by the UNSC in the latter half of the Human-Covenant War. One of the largest dedicated cruisers of its time, the Artemis was built off the frame of a heavily-modified Marathon-class cruiser. As a result, it shared its cousin's emphasis on speed and firepower at the expense of durability. It was also an technologically advanced warship, incorporating the latest in weapons and sensor systems to allow it to destroy almost any opponent that has the misfortune to be designated as targets. This made it uniquely-suited to the role of artillery, staying away from the thick of combat to pick off opposing capital ships. They were also well-suited to the role of heavy patrol, searching remote systems for any signs of Covenant activity. These ships became the equivalent of living legends during the Human-Covenant War, with each member of this class boasting dozens of kills to their name. While it's true they were very vulnerable to bombers and didn't have the armour to withstand Covenant weaponry, they proved difficult to detect or destroy in practice thanks to their usage and onboard systems. Due to their inability to adapt to other roles and their high cost of replacement, these ships were only given to the most talented and level-headed captains to ensure their survivability.
