The Interdictor class is a corvette designed for the needs of the Roman Republic Navy's Territorial Water Defense Command to interdict vessels in the Roman EEZ. They use construction standards of commercial ships. The corvettes were built between 1993 and 1996 by the Planitia Utopia Shipyards.
The ships' main armament was four surface-to-surface missiles and a 76 mm turret. The vessels have a maximum speed of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph) and can carry 24 marines. The vessels are used mainly to patrol the Roman EEZ.
