The Prowler is a modernised version of the infamous Tevarin armoured personnel carrier, named after its UPE military designation: the elegance and effectiveness of the Tevarin war machine, combined with the reliability of modern human technology.

📜 Its history

In 2941, imperial pathfinders found abandoned Tevarin settlements on Kabal III, in the newly discovered Kabal system. The Navy sent Esperia, which found nine full squadrons of Prowler-As in bunkers, carefully mothballed for almost five centuries; one even flew a 45-minute atmospheric test. Six were brought back to Esperia’s lab at Kutaram, and the government quickly let the company recreate the ship. The “plate” cockpit had to be rediscovered and all the computer systems rewritten, lost or incompatible. Unveiled at the 2946 Intergalactic Aerospace Expo, the Prowler was bought only in small numbers by the Navy, but won over mercenaries and wildcatters.
