Be the crew, report to the bridge!  Artemis is a cooperative Spaceship Bridge Simulator where players assume the roles of Captain, Helm, Science, Communication, Engineering, and Weapons officers. Together you operate your ship and defend the sector from enemy aliens.  

It is a social game where players at different stations work together, performing different tasks on each bridge. The Captain doesn’t have a station but sees the big picture and makes decisions about what missions to undertake, what enemies to engage, and how to keep the crew alive. Good communication and teamwork are the keys to success!

Multiple bridges can participate together in cooperative, multi-ship missions. Each simulation runs 20-40 minutes. Play will be mostly drop-in, but you may contact Artemis staff to schedule a time slot for groups of 4-6 and special events.

Steel Battalion isn't your average "Vertical Tank" sim. It uses a Mega-Jockey-9000 with 44 input points, joysticks, throttle, radio dial, switches, an eject button, and 3 pedals. Yes, that’s a lot of real-estate and inputs for just one game – are you daring enough? Pilot one yourself at the show!
