Idris-M

The Aegis Idris-M (Idris Military) is a frigate used by the UEE Military. 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. 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.
