Artemia Majoris is an Imperium Forge World.[1a]
History
It was the scene of the Hieronymite Heresy[1a] when the Hieronymites (followers of High Magos-Alchemys Hieronymus) were outlawed and eventually eliminated for their experimentation into prescribed bio-chemical compounds.[1b]
During the Fourth Tyrannic War, Artemia Majoris was isolated by the Shadow in the Warp. A Solblade strike force led by Captain Euclysto of the Sons of Medusa Chapter responded after detecting the Forge World's distress summons, but it was determined that the Tyranids' numbers were too great for a conventional engagement to be successful. Instead, a number of tech-magi and relics were evacuated from Artemia aboard the Strike Cruiser Warcog.[5]
Patterns
Artemia pattern Hellhound flame tank - has a remotely operated turret, reducing the number of crew to two, and the cargo space is replaced with a much larger capacity fuel cell. This fuel cell is by necessity very heavily armoured.[2]
Artemia-pattern Hellhound
Artemia Mk III Purgation Flamer[4a] - Hailing from the same forge world as the mighty Hellhound flame tank, this weapon uses volatile promethium to scour heretics with fire.[4b]
