Formerly the asteroid fortress Artemis, Garm is the present name of the rock occupied by the Lee’s Longknives “gentlemen freebooters” group. The beaten and battered fortification has changed hands numerous times, and a significant debris field exists around the Lagrange point as a result of the battles fought over Artemis in the past. Of course, making the position more difficult to approach is also an intentional act by its current proprietors, as it makes large scale attacks more troublesome to execute.

The surface of the asteroid is nearly as littered with junk as the space around it, including the small forest of towers that were once used to project a lightwave barrier field around the fortress. In addition to the relatively large amount of actual debris and wrecked machinery, a fair number of the fortresses’ defensive batteries are installed behind fake wreckage as a form of camouflage, while mines are attached to various pieces of floating scrap about the station’s perimeter to make approach through the shoal zone more dangerous. Safe paths through the field are fairly well indicated, although they cannot accommodate a significant number of mobile suits at once.

During its tenure as the Atlantic Federation’s headquarters for its space force, the asteroid was a key maintenance and manufacturing center for both mobile suits and warships, with much of the rock’s interior given over to massive fabrication complexes. For the most part this equipment is no longer functional, and in some cases has been removed entirely, with a number of large caverns and docks given over to the (in)famous weapons bazaars that are held on a regular basis where criminals and scum of all walks come to buy and sell everything from rifles to mobile suits. The fortress is perhaps too large for the number of current occupants – formerly the site of a large space force, the relatively small population of the Longknives and other temporary residents leaves much of the station’s interior empty and deserted.

More recently, the Last Battalion has evicted the former owners forcibly and renamed Garm back to it’s former name: Artemis. While the famous Umbrella of Artemis has been put online as quickly as possible (thanks to a lot of spare parts hauled in from caches), it will no doubt take some time to refit Artemis from a floating casino/flea market into something more resembling a military base…
