Fiction
Ghosts of Yesterday prequel novel
The Nemesis, under the command of Starscream, came across the human-built Ghost 1 spacecraft and the Autobot flagship Ark. Built specifically to look imposing and ominous, the Nemesis was still more of a transport than a warship and had relatively limited combat abilities. Barricade operated as helmsman and science officer, although it is unknown if this was his permanent function. Ghosts of Yesterday
Crew
IDW Transformers movie comics
After the All Spark was launched into space and Megatron went after it, Starscream hastily assembled a crew to pursue Optimus Prime's starship. They were lured into a trap by the Autobot ship, colliding with concussion chain mines as soon as they came out of warp. Crippled, the ship limped back home where it took many cycles for drones and slave labour to repair the damage. When repairs were finally completed, the Decepticon battlecruiser followed the All Spark's trace energy pulse to the four planet of a distant solar system.The Reign of Starscream Issue Number One
After the All Spark was destroyed and Megatron killed in battle on Earth, Starscream retrieved Frenzy's body and returned to his ship where Thundercracker loyally waited. Declaring himself Lord of Cybertron, Starscream now had the knowledge to recreate the All Spark. The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Two The ship came under attack by a group of Autobots under the command of Arcee, but they were swiftly dealt with. Triumphant, Starscream and crew traveled through the space bridge to the city of Trypticon on Cybertron The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Three, but unbeknownest to the Decepticons, Arcee managed to stow away as the ship lifted off. The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Four
Starscream's All Spark scheme ultimately failed, and what's more, Dreadwing, commander of the Decepticon drone army, staged a coup. During the ensuing battle between the drones, Autobots and Starscream's loyalists, Dreadwing escaped to the space port in Trypticon, intent on escaping the planet on board Starscream's battlecruiser. However, Starscream crippled the ship before it could get away, and just as it teleported, the warship exploded, taking much of the city with it. A portion of the ship that did manage to enter the space bridge appeared above Mars and crashed to the surface. Dreadwing survived the crash, but was quickly killed by a vengeful Starscream. The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Five
His short-lived "reign" over, Starscream sat amongst the ship's wreckage and carved the symbols of Cybertron's warriors into his body in ritual. Alliance issue 1 After Starscream had left for Earth to follow up on a lead Barricade had provided, Soundwave came upon the debris field and examined the remains of Dreadwing and the imprint of Frenzy upon the red soil.

Notes
- The (storyline chronologically) earlier Nemesis that was built by Megatron in "Defiance issue 4" looks the same as this ship in "The Reign of Starscream", but that is unlikely to have any significance. This was due to "Defiance" artists Dan Khanna and Andrew Griffith recycling the design of the Decepticon ship seen in "The Reign of Starscream". The ship's designer Alex Milne did not intend for this ship to represent any version of the Nemesis.
- Of course for the sake of a logical argument, it could be said that the Nemesis is merely a 'model' of ship rather than a title for a singular vessel.
