The Chiropetra-class Stealth Vessel was a classification of small starship used by the Office of Naval Intelligence of the United Nations Space Command and were in service in the early 2500's. These ships were roughly 50-meters long with oddly angled black stealth surfaces and carried advanced counterintrusion 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

The Chiropetra classification was probably the antecedent to the modern United Nations Space Command Prowler.
