The Prowler was a multi-role trans-atmospheric starfighter used by the Peacekeepers. Mass-produced, Prowlers could be found nearly anywhere a PK military installation was located. Prowlers were short-ranged, but used for many mission types, from interception, escort, space superiority, commando transports, general short-range shuttles, and personnel transport. They were commonly found aboard command carriers as part of their standard complement. They were the fastest ships in the PK arsenal.

Prowlers were lightly armed and lightly armored and very maneuverable when compared to much larger vessels.

Prowler pilots were highly respected amongst Peacekeepers, and were mostly entirely made up of commando/pilots. Standard Peacekeeper pilot uniforms were very similar to those of standard Peacekeeper soldiers, black with black helmets and a clear bug-like visor. Most pilots carried a standard sidearm, and possibly a rifle.

One Prowler was left behind on Earth by Moya's crew, enabling Humanity to develop their own version of starfighter. ("Terra Firma")
