The Howler is an open-market trading ship in Polycon EV.
"Messiah Mining claims that their Howler class heavy frigate is designed for heavy mining operations, but make no mistake about it, this is a warship designed to enable them to take over Neo Industries. Howlers are considerably better than any straight mining ship in combat, but unfortunately they still are not as effective as the capital ships used by the major governments."
― Buying a Howler
"Though Howlers are not as powerful as some other government ships, this one would still be formidable enough to provide decent defense."
