Overview:
    Following the Usurper?s defeat General Ian Sinclair began to search for new BattleMech
    designs that would replenish Star League Royal (Terran) units. These advanced designs would
    eventually make up the new core of the Terran defense force. General Motors promising new
    Marauder series was ultimately chosen to fulfill this role. Two Mechs in that series, the
    Marauder and the Nightstar, had already proven themselves during the Amaris Conflict. Their
    excellent performance laid the foundation for the Marauder series developing reputation. Two
    other designs, the Dragon Fire and the Maelstrom, never made it off the drawing board in
    time to see action during that conflict. Despite this they showed a lot of potential and
    added to the series value. After purchasing the rights to the Marauder series from General
    Motors the Terran military requested two further designs based on the Marauder model. One,
    nicknamed the Mini Marauder was a light mech only one-third the size of the original with
    twice the speed. Skobel ?Mechworks which had just been granted permission to begin
    production of the Nightstar accepted the design challenge. Working quickly and using
    advanced technology they came up with the Prowler. The new Mech entered production
    immediately on the retooled Jackrabbit line.

Capabilities:
    While the Prowler is primarily designed as a Light ?Mech Killer it can serve in several
    different roles. Its power plant, the Nissan 200 XL, provides the Prowler with maximum speed
    of over 129 kilometers per hour. This is more than ample to track down and kill all but the
    fastest BattleMechs. In addition, the Prowler makes an excellent raider and is adequately
    equipped for extended operations. The newly restored Blankenburg Technologies manufactured
    the Prowler?s weapons system, which is entirely energy based. Two Blankenburg Light Particle
    Projection Cannons give the Prowler its punch and allow it target ?Mechs at longer ranges.
    These weapons allow the ?Mech to snipe at larger opponents using its speed and range to peck
    away. The new Light PPCs are supported by three Medium Lasers that complete the ?Mechs
    arsenal with some short range firepower. The Prowler also makes a fine Command Mech for
    Light Lances. This is because designers insisted on including the Dalban Micronics
    communications system that was featured so prominently on the Marauder. The Prowler?s
    targeting and tracking system is taken from the Nightstar also produced by Skobel now. The
    DLK Type Phased Array Sensor System is perhaps the finest in the InnerSphere as it gives the
    Prowler tremendous accuracy.

Deployment:
    Three Terran units have so far received the Prowler; the Sinclair Fusiliers, the Terran
    Guard, and the Tau Ceti Rangers. The Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers have taken such a liking to the
    Prowler that they have begun to embrace the entire Marauder series and they currently field
    all six of its ?Mechs (including the Marauder, the Dragon Fire, the Maelstrom, the
    Nightstar, the Prowler, and the Bulwark).
