The Idris-M is a frigate manufactured by Aegis Dynamics. It lends its name to the standard line of frigates in the United Empire of Earth (UEE) Navy. 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 UEE military. In addition to typical capital weaponry, Idris-class ships maintain a flight deck and a small spacecraft detachment. Several variants, including the Idris-P and the Idris-K, have been made available to the general public.
