Idris Class

Idris Class Violar Escort:

Overview: The Idris is the first of two Violar escorts which see regular use. Used in large groups the escorts multiple light plasma cannons and speed shred small vessels such as other escorts or even light cruisers. Their purpose is to destroy smaller craft and larger vessels as well as screen the cruisers from attacks by missiles or units. Their weapons can also disable ships through use of missiles leaving them open for attacks by the larger cruisers.

Armament: The Idris mounts 6 light plasma cannons and 2 light missile launchers with both types of warhead ammunition.

Missile launchers: Violar missile launchers provide long range fire however unlike the other races who use explosive warheads the Violar use different kinds. The Violar use missiles which are tipped with nanite warheads, exploding to consume the enemy ship in self-replicating nano machines rather than inflicting direct damage, these nanites can be controlled to consume specific elements or general destruction. The second warhead is a limpet warhead, made to incapacitate the enemy ship. Limpet warheads impact the enemy hull and drill into it, there they first off send a massive energy pulse to try and EMP the ship if this doesn’t work each limpet missile powers up a small gravity well, combined with multiple missiles the enemy ship is then unable to move due to the huge amounts of extra mass.


Defences: The Idris class has a 3ft thick hull made of Violar Nano Lathe armour with fast active nano repair: emperormyric.deviantart.com/ar…

The Idris class mounts in its latest incarnation 3 Union MK3 Crenelated defense phase shields: emperormyric.deviantart.com/ar…

However before being part of the Union the Violar Idris class mounted a cyclic shield system which employed rotating multiple shields which not only could absorb fire but deflect it entirely and when one goes down another is still present with any weak points constantly being rotated in different directions.

The Idris class also mounts multiple small plasma cannons and missile launchers to destroy fighters and missiles.


Power plant: The Violar Idris class mounts a single Violar made antimatter reactor, on par with Union ZPM units these reactors annihilate antimatter and matter pairs to generate masses amount of power for the ship. Generating the antimatter is done by numerous particle accelerators mounting the length of the ship protected by additional armour, these antimatter reactors haven’t been replaced with ZPMs and will not be until ZPMs finally surpass such. It doesn’t mount any secondary power systems.

Electronic capabilities: The Idris is aided and controlled by a Violar neural network allowing the crew to integrate themselves into the ship itself, being very advanced such a system is very resistant to hacking and can also help combat ECM and hack incoming projectiles. The Violar systems are now able to integrate into the Union grid and so can operate alongside all Union systems.

Stealth wise the Idris doesn’t have true stealth but it does have a very active ECM suite to try hack and blur enemy sensors. However they can if needed be upgraded with a Union full displacement field.


Crew: The Idris class has around 200 crew who oversee the ship, with it being mostly automated with neural networking the Violar can have much less crew than other vessels.

Attack craft: The Idris mounts no hangar bays.

Speed and engines: The Idris is lightning fast able to reach 0.9 light with its advanced gravitic drives it also has a highly advanced Violar fold drive for FTL allowing instant point jump capabilities however most are now also fitted with Union slipstream drives as well.
