--------------
Three years ago the original Selfridge Class suffered from a failed slipstream test and therefore Starfleet engineers were forced to decommission the vessel, however they kept its general design when they constructed the Selfridge A.
The success of this vessel proved to be better than expected for Starfleet, and therefore it was decided to re-introduce the original Selfridge design however featuring the tried and tested components of the Selfridge A.
The Selfridge project was re-opened and the U.S.S Artemis, which was originally scheduled to be the second Selfridge Class was constructed.
The intention of Starfleet was that ships such as the Artemis would prove to be efficient and reliable vessels that are able to traverse space at higher speeds using slipstream whilst keeping all essential systems.
The failures of the original Selfridge had been overcome and a more reliable frigate with the intentions of deep exploration was born.
Originating from the Selfridge Class design, the USS Artemis is intended as a deep space exploration frigate, however it is equipped to deal with any threats which may arise.
The phaser arrays fitted onto the Artemis have been considerably upgraded since the first Selfridge, derived from the Enterprise Initiative they are a downgraded version from those onboard the Selfridge A.
The Artemis also features an enhanced hull plating which was first used with the Selfridge A to counter the stresses of Slipstream drive, this makes the ship more stable and less likely to come under heavy stress during warp or slipstream.
