The Esperia Prowler (named after the UPE military designation) is a modernized version of the infamous Tevarin boarding craft from the First Tevarin War.
History
Discovery
With the recent discovery of the lost Tevarin planet in Kabal System, Esperia’s engineers were given unmitigated access to examine the preserved ships found in several of the caches, before meticulously recreating the design choices. The Prowler’s effectiveness as a rapid personnel deployment vehicle was mainly due to its silence. The boarding was constructed using a variety of techniques to minimize its signatures and get close to unsuspecting vessels before quickly deploying their boarders via EVA. With the updated Prowler model, you will find the perfect fusion of two culture: the elegance and effectiveness of the Tevarin war machine combined with the reliability of modern UEE technology. (While lacking some of the upgrades of the modern version, vintage Tevarin-built Prowlers restored for modern spaceflight are prized by owners lucky enough to locate them.)Template:RSIrefTemplate:RSIref
Modernization
Harden shell
Both the pilot and co-pilot cockpit shield is constructed of kelsun composite utilizing original Tervarin engineering techniques. The result is the most resilient transparent shielding of that era, which gave the exterior an opaque coating while still allowing the operator to see out.
Ground runners
Focused gravity emitters are installed underneath the Prowler, which creates a cushion to allow it to navigate precarious and uneven surfaces such as landscapes or even ship hulls to avoid scans.
Transforming mechanics
The twin nacelle wings of the Prowler houses a pair of low emission thrusters designed to minimize the ship's energy signature profile for a stealthier approach. These wings will also rotate, allowing more maneuvering capabilities in flight, but also double as the ship's landing gear.
Precision offense
A remote turret is placed along the upper spine of the ship, it can be controlled by either the pilot or co-pilot, offering 360 degree weapon coverage against hostile forces.
