What Solar System planet is 'Artemis' supposed to be?

Artemis ???  hmm....

The people looking for it call it Planet X. I think Stardock took some liberties and named it themselves.

I see.

I expected they would have used other verified 'named' Solar System objects before inventing a name for the hypothetical Planet X.

{ i.e Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Ceres, Sedna, Eris, Makemake, Orcus, Gonggong ... }

But Artemis is just as good I suppose.  ( actually sounds better than some of the more recent goofy names chosen by IAU.  I admit, I am biased toward the established Grecco-Roman mythos naming convention. )
