Purpose
ARTEMIS was designed to preserve and reintroduce animal life to Earth, headed by the Alpha Charles Ronson. Once the terraforming systems restored the planet to a habitable level, ARTEMIS would introduce necessary "pioneer organisms" (micro-organisms and insects, rabbits, hawks, foxes, geese, wolves, wild boars, and turkeys) to the Earth, further reviving the biosphere. The new humans would be taught by
APOLLO how to reintroduce the other species.
Results
ARTEMIS' primary objective was for the most part successful, as evidenced by the fauna occupying the world. However, much like ELEUTHIA, its success was hindered by the purging of
APOLLO. Without the database, humans had no idea what ARTEMIS was, let alone how to use it for its intended purpose. As a result, the re-introduced fauna remained limited to pioneer species and smaller animals. However, as seen in the Cut, there is limited diversity across biomes, as several species of fauna unique to that region can be found.
The Signal
A mysterious signal caused it, like all other subordinate functions, to become a rogue AI. After its escape from the GAIA Prime facility, its whereabouts are unknown. Unlike the majority of
GAIA's subordinate functions, ARTEMIS has shown many changes in behavior upon becoming an independent entity. Without the guidance of GAIA, ARTEMIS has begun creating numerous animal species not limited to their original biomes. This has led to highly diverse biomes not originally seen before the new world.
