The '''''Chiroptera''-class Stealth Vessel''' was a classification of small starships 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. | The '''''Chiroptera''-class Stealth Vessel''' was a classification of small starships used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] of the [[United Nations Space Command]] in service in the early 2500's.
