The Idris class frigate is a capital ship featured in the game Star Citizen and the Squadron 42 single-player experience. Originally designed as a patrol Corvette, the ship grew in size to accommodate a larger flight deck, resulting in its current length of 242 meters.

The ship is described as a frigate, larger than a Corvette but smaller than a destroyer. It features various components such as radar, computers, power plants, coolers, shield generators, fuel tanks, and propulsion systems. The Idris is armed with a size 10 spinal-mounted railgun, manned turrets, remote turrets, and missile launchers. It also has a through-deck hangar bay for carrying up to three medium-sized fighters, an auxiliary hangar for a small snub ship, and various rooms and facilities including a medical bay, brig, and armory.
The Idris has multiple potential uses in the game, such as serving as a mobile base, a heavy hitter in combat, a cargo transport, or an escort for other ships. It plays a prominent role in the Squadron 42 campaign and offers a rich storytelling environment with its numerous rooms and corridors. The ship’s design and capabilities make it an exciting addition to the game, providing players with various gameplay possibilities and immersive experiences.
