Witch-Captain Nyx

Nyx is one of the older necromancer-captains, from the first generation of void-shrouded ships. The Nightmare is a weapon aimed at a bridge crew's mind as much as at a hull. Its sensors read the nearby ship and throw a field that forces those people to face what they fear. Crews panic. Some freeze. A few have come apart in the middle of the engagement.

Nyx says she is immune. Dominion officers who have served near her report that she sometimes laughs at things nobody else can see, and that the projection array sometimes hums when it is supposed to be dark. Nobody asks her about either fact.
