Whole systems were being seized, with the populations slaughtered at the hands of the Empire. Changes needed to be made to save the Federation. The Starfleet Commander in Chief, Admiral Conrad Slater, was replaced by Admiral Marcus Ramirez. Ramirez's first action was ordering the design and production of Starfleet's first ever dedicated warship and after the Ares was built and launched the USS Artemis was the next to be built the same year.
