The Artesia system, a star system, resided in the Hangshan sector. This sector was situated within the Slice and the Expansion Region, both considered parts of the larger galactic expanse. Within this system was the planet known as Artesia.
Jason Fry and [Daniel Wallace]'s 2009 reference book, The Essential Atlas, marked the initial appearance of the Artesia system. While the book's Appendix specified grid square P-12 for its location, the Expansion Region map in The Essential Atlas placed it in grid square P-11, creating a discrepancy. The location of the Artesia system in grid square P-11 was subsequently verified by The Essential Atlas Online Companion.
