==History==
===Ultraman Tiga===
The Artdessei was built in utmost secrecy inside the F4 Dock, located on the underground level 133 at the Dive Hangar. It was equipped with the revolutionary but controversial Maxima Overdrive engine, which played a key role in the defense against the Gobnu and their space fortress Mechanical Island.
Accompanied by several GUTS Wing 1s and Wing 2s, the Artdessei participated in the operation to exterminate the Clitters. The fleet bombarded one of the Clitter clouds with their most powerful weapons, but to no effect. When the fleet was about to recharge for a second attack, all of the Clitters left Earth and thus ended the conflict between them and the human kind.
In an attempt to stop a global conspiracy planned by world leaders of the TPC, who were under the manipulation of Alien Desimo, the Artdessei was deployed to nearby waters surrounding the Coreomeos Island. There, the Dolphar 202 was launched from the ship and infiltrated the island. In the final stages, the Artdessei pursued Desimonia to space with Ultraman Tiga. The biological weapon was destroyed by a synchronized attack from the two.
The Artdessei was among some of the TPC's assets to become hijacked by Karen E-90. The ship departed from the Dive Hangar, unmanned, and threatened to destroy the metropolis of Japan with its Maxima Cannon. The incident was resolved after Faivas was defeated.
When the Dive Hangar succumbed to the Shadow Mist, the Artdessei became the survivors and chain of command's temporary base of operations as it ferried them to safety. Piloted by GUTS member Rena, the ship located and landed on a nearby coast. There, the crew monitored global events as well as devised plans in response. The Artdessei remained stationary throughout the operation to revive a defeated Ultraman Tiga, where it deployed a EX-J and Captain Hayate's Garowa to the mission area.
===Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey===
Some time after the battle against Gatanothor and its Zoiger servants, the Artdessei returned to a repaired Dive Hangar. In 2011, the Artdessei underwent a modernization refit despite already being considered obsolete by newer ships that were under construction. It was used for one last time by GUTS members to rescue Captain Iruma, who was trapped in the ruins of the ancient city of R'lyeh. The Artdessei struggled in the battle against the Shibito-Zoigers but were helped by four GUTS Wings, piloted by TPC pilot trainees and their instructor. The Artdessei fired the Deluc Cannon at the cave opening that was spewing out the flying kaiju, ceasing the Zoigers' attack.

Some time after the completion of the TPC's new headquarters, the Grandome, the Artdessei and other pre-existing mecha were relocated from the Dive Hangar to the Grandome.
Along with other mecha, the Artdessei was forcibly fused with Lovemos into Satan Lovemos, with its hull forming the central body. The ship and other mecha reverted back into their normal forms after the incident.
In Asuka's dream, the Artdessei was stolen by ex-TPC member Seiichi Munakata and modified into a pirate ship-esque design. It was then renamed into the . It was commanded by the now-Captain Munakata and his pirate crew to assist the TPC in the battle against General Zoaka and his forces.
