	The first ship of the class, ''RZS Hikaze DDG-01'' was commissioned on June 12th, 2199 and the second ship, ''RZS Narikaze DDG-02'' being commissioned on December 19th, 2199 as part of the New Navy Program (NNP). ''RZS Harukaze DDG-03'' is expected to commission in January or February of 2200, with ''RZS Mizukaze DDG-04'' being expected to finish construction around the time that ''Harukaze'' is finished with commissioning. The fifth ship of the class, designated hull number ''DDG-05'', is currently unnamed and planned to be laid down sometime in 2200, with construction finishing in 2201 or 2202. However, ''DDG-05'' is on the verge of cancellation due to budgetary concerns. These five ships are expected to primarily serve the role of Air-Defense Escort for the flagship [[Valkyrie Class Supercarrier\|''RZS Masahiro Ashigaru'']] in the ''[[Zalkentian Navy\|Zalkentian 1st Fleet]]'', but they have Anti-Ship and Shore Bombardment capabilities built in as part of their Multi-Mission profile. These destroyers are going to be a core part of the 1st Fleet, and have become fan favorites among their crews for being highly automated and easy to control, whilst having capable defenses for both the ships themselves and the other vessels in the fleet.

	With the establishment of the Royal Zalkentian Navy in 2182, the Naval Ordinance Bureau commissioned NCI to develop a Multirole Guided Missile Escort. Designated internally as ''"Project 2184 Missile Cruiser"'', but due to fears within certain factions of the General Assembly that there would be retribution for fielding an advanced capital ship, and considering the paranoia from the Burr War and Civil War, the project was later renamed to ''"Project 2184 Large Multi-Mission Guided Missile Destroyer"'' as a result. The development was faced with numerous technical issues due to this being the first ship indigenously developed in Zalkent since the Burr War. Multiple parties outside the government have argued that the ship should be classified as a Guided Missile Cruiser, but the government remained firm on the decision to prevent the ship class from being labelled as a Guided Missile Cruiser.

The propulsion systems were manufactured in house by NHI. As for the weapons systems, they were chosen by the Naval Ordinance Bureau itself, as they fit the requirements for the profile of the class.

	The design of the Hikaze was based on observations of foreign naval fleets and the necessity for an escort type ship within the newly formed Royal Zalkentian Navy. The Hikaze Class was the first time that the Type 78 ID-FCRS saw naval deployment, which was previously only used on land based Anti-Air emplacements. This proved the capabilities of the system for future ship classes, but the early arrays had issues with corrosion from the ocean waters. This led to the refitting of the lead ship with the Type 78N ID-FCRS arrays, which were reinforced to deal with the corrosive properties of salt water. The array failures were the reasoning behind the delayed commissioning of ''RZS Hikaze''. There were also issues present with the supplied ARC System configurations, but these were minor problems that were updated during the integration of the Type 78N variant of the ID-FCRS.

−	There were also issues that plagued the class with regards to its propulsion and power systems, which was a change present from the original contract. The original production called for two propulsion units that were powered by an NCI GT-77 Gas Turbine. The ship in that current configuration was simulated to only be able to reach about 20kn, which necessitated a redesign of the system. The issue with the power system was that one GT-77 Gas Turbine could not feasibly power the Type 78N ID-FCRS and the Type 81 Sonar, so this also required ~~redesigns~~. The new system had introduced a third propulsion unit which enabled the ship to reach a maximum speed of 29-30kn, whilst a second GT-77 was introduced to offset the power costs.	+	There were also issues that plagued the class with regards to its propulsion and power systems, which was a change present from the original contract.
