The 15mm ARTEMIS rail gun is a weapon that was to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios. It also appears in the Van Buren tech demo game files.

BackgroundEdit

ARTEMIS was an unfinished weapons project by Poseidon Energy and the Enclave.^[1]

CharacteristicsEdit

ARTEMIS was a weapon that could be constructed by science-oriented characters.^[1] Schematics for the rail gun could be found in Mesa Verde.^[2]

LocationEdit

While it doesn't appear in the Van Buren tech demo, it is still present in the game files and can be spawned with the console command CreateEntity Weapons15mm_Artemis_railgun.wea, but remains a non-functional weapon.

NotesEdit

	The following is based on J.E. Sawyer's Fallout RPG and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

• J.E. Sawyer's Fallout PnP doesn't mention Artemis and 15mm EC ammunition as present in its world (15mm EC reference was accidental). Rail guns were mentioned in connection with its technology level and Advanced Research perk only.
• The Advanced Research perk helps to make rail guns - weapons of technology level 8 (as well, as energy weapons, and power armors).

	End of information based on J.E. Sawyer's Fallout RPG.

• Even when fully loaded, the gun may not fire. The player will simply reload the gun and face the intended target, never firing.

Behind the scenesEdit

• In Greek Mythology, Artemis was the goddess of the hunt, daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo.
