The Ailleurs-class frigate is a class of air-defense destroyers in service with the Avergnonian, North Kandsonian, Albarinean, and Vulkarian navies. The ships were developed in Avergnon and delivered to service in their respective navies beginning in 2008. 12 are in service within the Avergnon Navy, 4 in the Albarine Navy, 2 in North Kandson, and 1 in Vulkaria. 2 other ships are being developed for Allieu.
The ships are highly capable of intercepting and tracking aircraft, but were criticized shortly after their induction for challenges with intercepting missiles and other projectiles. Updates to the frigates have largely solved these issues according to respective militaries, but costs ballooned due to their undertaking.
