Nightmare Engine-class corvette

The Nightmare Engine-class were a sizable heavy prowler class of the 24th century. Built for the United Nations Space Command during the Inner Colony Wars, the Nightmare Engine-class was intended primarily as a stealthy hunter-killer, which would stalk suspected rebels or pirates and potentially destroy them in a surprise attack. 
The Nightmare Engine class served as the basic template for future heavy prowler classes such as the Revenant-class and Sahara-class.
