Artemis Corporation

***"The future is in our hands."*** - The Artemis Corporation's slogan

## Introduction

The **Artemis Corporation** (stylized "**ARTEMIS**") is the largest corporation the world has ever seen in **Alternative Reload**, controlling all of Hana and at one point, Jaucania. They are a private military corporation founded by Ander Lockheed in 2092. They hold sovereign power in Hana and produce a plethora of tech and hardware, all mostly civilian and military based. While they do have public adversaries for their "shady" operations, they still receive money from investors worldwide and from their enticing civilian products that improve the quality of life.

## History

With prosthetics in high demand after the Eastern-Western War, Artemis initially made modern and affordable prosthetics, but later branched out into producing military tech, creating weapons, vehicles, gear, etc. Ander Lockheed sought to create a large military superpower that would allow him to act on any plans he desired. In this case, it was overthrowing the Hanian Government.

After overthrowing the Hanian Government, the Artemis Corporation became Hana's sole military and began providing global security against terrorist organizations, international criminals, and enemies that may threaten their might. Due to this, they quickly became a very large corporation, with Lockheed's dream of forming his own private-military coming to fruition.

As time progressed, the Artemis Corporation continued to grow, with Lockheed wanting to seize Jaucania for its fertile soil and natural resources. With military might on their side, the Artemis Corporation successfully seized Jaucania and established a sphere of influence, forcing Jaucania to exclusively trade with Hana, starving the other continents that relied on imported goods from Jaucania. Needless to say, the United Global Council was not happy about this. They berated Lockheed for his actions, claiming that he influenced a world war.

### The MANTICORE Suits

Sometime later, a scientist for the Artemis Corporation, Dr. Tsuris pitched the idea of advanced powered-exoskeletons. Lockheed liked the idea and Artemis began producing powered-exoskeletons known as the MANTICORE Suits. However, they were found to be quite expensive, so only four exoskeletons were created. These four exoskeletons would be dawned by the few in the large group of candidates who graduated from a rigorous five-month-long training that would comb out the best soldiers they had to offer. These soldiers would be Hayden Halyasha, Niko Krasnyy, Maya Misaka, and Reverend. Once graduated, the graduates were all able to customize their MANTICORE Suits in anyway seen fit, whether those be cosmetic or practical. Hayden, Niko, and Maya would all be assigned as a team members, with the exception of Reverend, who preferred to work alone. These top-soldiers would be sent on many dangerous missions not fit for the regular soldier.

## Private Military

Artemis' military is the largest and most powerful military in the world, and act as Hana's sole military. They are led by General Scarlett Neith have the most advanced weaponry and gear, with their soldiers being outfitted with the most modern military tech. Their troops are very organized, coordinated, and tactical, moving in a machine-like manner. Artemis is known to pay their soldiers quite well.

### Appearance

Most basic soldiers wear a light purple fatigue, black combat gear, and a black helmet with a glowing purple visor.

## Design

Almost all of the Artemis Corporation's tech, gear, and outfits all abide by the color scheme of white and black, purple, or orange. Occasionally, they use turquoise. They also have "**ARTEMIS**" printed on all of their gear.
