Template:Ratings Template:Ship 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.
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, belonging to one Governor Jiles, was in the hands of the Eridanus rebels. This ship would later be stolen by Dr. Halsey and used to transport herself andKelly-087 to Onyx, where it was shot down by the Onyx Sentinels.
The Chiroptera classification was probably the antecedent to the modern United Nations Space Command Prowler.
