Revision as of 18:56, 23 August 2011
The Artemis Necklace (Japanese: アルテミスの首飾り) was a planetary-defence system composed of a large number of spherical satellites orbiting in a ring.
Each satellite was shaped like a 'bead' — hence the name. Similar in nature to fortresses like Geiersburg and Iserlohn|, these satellites were small stations encased within armored spheres of liquid metal. Powerful anti-ship cannons could be raised above the surface to attack, and submerged beneath the impenetrable liquid metal barrier for protection.

History
The Necklace was most famous as the last line of defence for the planet Heinessen, capital of the Free Planets Alliance. However, elements in Fezzan also sold an Artemis Necklace to Maximilian von Castrop, who had it constructed in orbit of the planet Castrop.
The Castrop Necklace was destroyed during Castrop's rebellion by Rear Admiral Siegfried Kircheis, who ordered highly combustible zephyr particles to be spread around the satellites, causing them to destroy themselves when they opened fire. Yang Wen-li later destroyed the Heinessen Necklace by ramming each of the individual satellites with asteroids. (LOGH: 'The Castrop Rebellion')
Design
As seen in the animation. Spheric automated defense satellite, with a liquid metal armor that can absorb any type of weaponry effect. The armor can open up at specific locations to reveal weapons ports. Located at the equator is the main energy weapon which can destroy any ship in one shot. At least four smaller energy weapons are located at equal meridian distances along the equator. Six missile ports are each located at the northern and southern 35th parallels. A group of defense satellites form a ring-like defense network. The system has a weakness of ignoring anything that is not a spacecraft or spaceship.
Differences between Anime and Novel
-The power of the weapon is not described in the novel. -The Castrop weapon is a moon based defense cannon.
