The name or term "Nemesis" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Nemesis (disambiguation).

The Nemesis is a Decepticon starship from the Aligned continuity family.

This doesn't look like Nemesis Prime at all!

The Nemesis is the big bad warship of the Decepticons. Sometimes it's a former Dark Energon containment lab that later became Trypticon. Sometimes it's just a ship full of folks who don't know what Dark Energon is. It's very confusing.

Fiction

It's quite large.

When Cliffjumper followed strange energy readings, he found the Nemesis hovering over a crater filled with Energon. The ship fired on him before disgorging Decepticon drones who cleaned his clock. He was dragged back to the ship where Starscream dispatched him. The ship sailed off before the rest of the Autobots could reach the location. Starscream used the ship's equipment to open the space bridge, allowing Megatron's return. Darkness Rising, Part 1 Once Megatron had come on board with the chunk of Dark Energon he'd found, they flew the ship to the main Decepticon Energon mine. There it stayed until the Autobots attacked the mine in search of Cliffjumper, and Megatron ordered the mine destroyed. Darkness Rising, Part 2

Megatron's use of the Dark Energon on himself set the Decepticon leader on a new path, and he temporarily left control of the ship in Starscream's hands. After Soundwave intercepted a communication from Agent Fowler, Starscream had the human kidnapped, and parked the Nemesis in a canyon while he interrogated Fowler. The ship was attacked by Bulkhead. While fighting the Decepticons stationed on top of the Nemesis, he ripped the ship's main dish off and used to demolish some of the Decepticons. Darkness Rising, Part 3 He, Arcee and Bumblebee invaded the ship, along with their three humans companions. While the three kids were left in a side room, the Autobots headed to the ship's brig, where they were able to rescue Fowler. When Megatron returned to the ship and found the damage, he was very upset. Darkness Rising, Part 4

The Nemesis bridge must be great for watching the Super Bowl.

With the ship damaged and unable to set the space bridge's target, Starscream put an alternate plan involving Soundwave into motion. The Nemesis was moved to near the space bridge, thought the Autobots reached it by ground bridge first. Though the Autobots and their allies fought bravely, the space bridge was successfully opened. Standing on the hull of the Nemesis, Megatron hurled his Dark Energon chunk through the bridge and turned Cybertron's dead into zombies. Starscream moved the ship away from the space bridge as it became apparent that the Autobots were up to something, and the Nemesis was clear of the subsequent explosion. The same could not be said for Megatron. Darkness Rising, Part 5

Starscream's attempt at speechifying to the Nemesis crew met with an unenthusiastic reception, so he sought satisfaction elsewhere. After Megatron was recovered from the site of the space bridge's destruction, Starscream reluctantly returned him to the ship and placed him in stasis in the sick bay. Masters & Students

The Decepticons captured Wheeljack and put him in the ship's brig while they sent Makeshift to the Autobots in his place. While they were waiting on the ship's upper hull for Makeshift to activate the ground bridge, Wheeljack broke free and scaled the outside of the ship to attack them. Makeshift exploded on top of the ship shortly after returning, though it's unclear how much damage the ship sustained. Con Job
