The UEEN Idris was the first Idris-class frigate, named for the Battle of Idris IV. The principal Aegis Dynamics factory for production was located on Locke (Idris IV). It was commissioned in 2551, at a ceremony where Ivar Messer gave a speech now seen as a prelude to him taking more direct dictatorial control of the newly-formed United Empire of Earth. It was decommissioned in August 2587 with 43 tours and nine combat stars. Today it is the sole remaining Flight I Idris, mothballed in drydock at MacArthur, where it is often discussed as a potential museum piece highlighting the military’s role during the Messer era.[1]
