The Aegis Idris-M (Idris Military) is a frigate used by the UEE Military.[1] It lends its name to the standard line of frigates in the United Empire of Earth Navy (UEEN). Idrises are larger than traditional corvettes, but smaller than destroyers and destroyer escorts. They can be found in most active battle group formations in the Human military. They are used for everything from long duration patrols to scouting dangerous jump points to interdiction.[2] In addition to typical capital weaponry, Idris-class ships maintain a flight deck and a small spacecraft detachment of 2 medium fighters and one Argo MPUV-1C in a dedicated bay, although they sometimes carry 3 medium fighters instead.[3]
2023-11-01 | In CitizenCon 2023, CIG announced that all variants of the Idris will be delivered to the owners alongside Squadron 42 releases.[5] |
Alpha 3.22.1 | Introduced the interior of the ship alongside the Capture the Idris dynamic event.[6][7] |
The original Idris corvette is designed by Ryan Church (Freelance Conceptist) in 2013 along with other contributors include Chris Olivia (Chief Visual Officer), Ben Lesnick (Community Manager), Dave Haddock (Lead Writer), Rob Irving (Lead Designer), Chris Smith (Lead Vehicle Artist), Pete Mackay (Designer), and Chris Roberts.[8] The ship was announced in June 2013. In 2014-03, the team from CGBotwhiteboxing the flight deck interior found that the original concept was not sized to fit with the Hornet model as the original concept used the smaller Hornet model from the 2012 cinematics. Since the Idris need to carry multiple Hornets, the ship was upscaled to a frigate.[9][10] The rework was handled by the Foundry 42 UK team, with contribution from Mike Northeast (F42 Senior Designer), Mark Skelton (CIG Art Director), Paul Jones (F42 Art Director), Stuart Jennett (F42 Conceptist), Bjorn Seinstra (Senior Artist), Tom Johnson (F42 Project Manager), and Chris Roberts.[10] This was just one of many large project changes made throughout late 2014 and early 2015, including ships, procedural planets, the starmap and the lore timeline.[citation needed]
