The Imperium II class is a class of Scutum combat system-equipped multi-purpose destroyer escorts in service with the Republic Navy. The vessels were built by Roman shipbuilder Kuat Shipyards.
The ships are fitted with the Scutum weapons system allowing them to track hundreds of airborne targets simultaneously as part of its integrated air defense network. The Imperium II-class destroyer escorts are the only anti-submarine warfare destroyer in service with the Roman Republic Navy's Foreign Interest Defense Command.
