The '''''Chiroptera''-class Stealth Vessel''' was a classification of small warships used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] of the [[United Nations Space Command]] in service in the early 2500's. These ships were roughly 50-meters long with oddly-angled black stealth surfaces and carried advanced counter-intrusion software. Notably, the class used the smallest operational [[Slipspace]] engines ever produced by the [[UNSC]].

However, without a standard central controlling [[AI]], the sensitive components tended to become unreliable. The resulting breakdowns resulted in the entire class being decommissioned in [[2512]]. Vital components were supposedly removed, and the Slipspace drive was locked down. 

At least one vessel of this class, one belonging to Governor [[Jiles]], was in the hands of the Eridanus rebels. This ship would later be stolen by [[Dr. Halsey]] and used to transport herself and [[Kelly-087]] via Slipspace jump to [[Onyx]], where it was shot down by the [[Onyx Sentinels]].

The ''Chiroptera'' classification was probably the antecedent to the modern [[UNSC Prowler]], though it probably served more as a multirole vessel, being much smaller than a Prowler.
