Template:Individual Ship Infobox This Prowler was presumably stolen by the Sundered Legion from the Office of Naval Intelligence at some point during the Insurrection. After the fall of the Sundered Legion it was left abandoned and forgotten in a hanger on Meridian.
Specifications
The Prowler is described as being an enormous vessel dozens of meters in length and almost completely filling the hanger it was docked inside of. The nose was rounded and tapered towards the rear where there were four engines at its tail. The ship was hunched over like an old man, wings jutting out at its sides with an exaggerated set on its tail. It was capable of carrying hundreds of passengers.[1] The ship possessed a holographic ignition and a DNA lock on its systems. While programed for members of the Sundered Legion, at least after being abandoned for half a century or more, the DNA of the presumed great-grandson of one of the Legion's members was a close enough match for the Prowler to identify him as his ancestor and grant him access. However, when the ship detected a Spartan-III in the cockpit, presumably from the energy signature in his armor, it immediately activated a self-destruct designed to keep the ship out of enemy hands which required another DNA scan to be overridden. Once the Prowler's systems were unlocked, it could be used with a copilot not in the system as long as the ship didn't register them as a threat. Like other Prowlers, the ship possessed a stealth mode, infrared sensors and weapons systems.[2] The Prowler's missiles were powerful enough to damage a Covenant SDV-class corvette and force it into retreating.[3]
