== Military Technology == Military technology on Artemis, though highly advanced, remains carefully secured. All weaponry is stored within the ship's armory, accessible by the Sleeping Soldiers, the elite personnel held in cryogenic stasis. Current policy is to prohibit weapons for all colonists. This strict containment policy reflects the colony's commitment to peace while acknowledging the need for preparedness. Even the schematics and manufacturing protocols for these weapons are sequestered within the armory's database, ensuring that this technology cannot be reproduced without proper authorization. '''Weapons Technology''' In addition to traditional kinetic weapons, the Armory houses an arsenal of advanced offensive weaponry, including sonic wave disruptors, wormhole bombs, plasma rifles, and photon pistols. In contrast, the [[Artemis Colonial Constabulary|Artemis Colonial Constabulary (ACC)]] relies on non-lethal equipment for day-to-day security operations. This two-tiered approach to security equipment reflects Artemis's commitment to maintaining peace while retaining the capability to defend against more serious threats. '''Defensive Systems''' The Artemis Expeditor is ringed by an integrated defensive perimeter, combining surveillance and deterrent capabilities. The system's backbone consists of automated defense turrets equipped with multi-spectrum sensors that detect motion, sound, and thermal signatures. Each turret platform houses an array of countermeasures: precision spotlights capable of either flooding the terrain with illumination or focusing devastating bright beams, speakers that can emit targeted sonic deterrents, and a variable-intensity laser module for scalable threat response. As a last resort, each turret also includes a high-caliber barrel fed by a magazine of conventional ammunition, though colony protocol dictates that lethal force should only be employed when all other defensive options have been exhausted. '''Sensors''' Occupancy sensors track those present in public spaces, and exterior sensors monitor the area directly surrounding the habitat, alerting colonists to threats and, at times, managing those threats by triggering the defensive system. These automated defenses range from simple deterrents like high-intensity lights and sonic pulses to more sophisticated countermeasures that can neutralize both biological and mechanical threats. The sensor network also helps regulate the habitat's life support systems, adjusting temperature, oxygen levels, and power distribution based on population density in different sectors, making it as much about sustaining life as protecting it.
