From Ancient Greek Ἄρτεμις (''Ártemis''). Ancient Greek writers, by way of folk etymology, linked the name (found in Doric as ''Artamis'') to ἄρταμος (''ártamos'', “butcher”) or ἀρτεμής (''artemḗs'', “safe, unharmed; pure; maiden”), both relating to her role as goddess of the hunt, wilderness, nature, vegetation, wildlife, childbirth, virginity, archery, healing, young women, and sudden death.
From Latin ''Apollō'', from Ancient Greek Ἀπόλλων (''Apóllōn''). Possibly from Pre-Greek, or from an older, obsolete verb meaning "to drive away," as in evil. Plato in Cratylus connects it to ἀπόλλυμι (''apóllumi'', “to destroy”), ἀπολούων (''apoloúōn'', “washing”), ἀπολύων (''apolúōn'', “delivering”), ἁπλοῦν (''haploûn'', “simple”), and ἀειβάλλων (''aeibállōn'', “always shooting”). Ancient Greek deity of oracles, healing, archery, music, arts, light, knowledge, herds and flocks, and protection of the young.

The Apollo Subcluster is a subcluster of star systems located entirely within the Local Cluster.

It is situated directly between the Juno Reach to the "West" and the Draconis Subcluster to the "East".

The subcluster includes several sovereign states, including: the Artemis Colonial Republic and Callisto Colonial Republic.

The Apollo Subcluster is principally comprised of six primary star systems: Apollo, Artemis, Asclepius, Daphne, Hera, and Leto.

Only two of the star systems of the Apollo Subcluster are significantly populated: Apollo and Artemis.

Etymology
