Howler

The Howler is a non-pilotable Light Spacer mech, notable for its light armor and oversized Heavy weapon mount populated by an Otomo-type Laser Weapon.

Spacer mechs are like looking at Kanji. I know they’re different, I just couldn’t tell you how or why. The Howler I recognize, though. Like their terrestrial inferiors, Spacers build their mechs based on only a couple sizes of legs. Because even when you live in the future, you still want to cut down on maintenance work. Howlers can sport a Heavy mount, real stiff medicine, but it’s only a light mech. I expect that kind of thing from the Corvids, with an operational lifespan in minutes, but I don’t know how the Spacers do it. Ultra-light material fabrication? Composites?I have a pet theory. The shield generators you see on the Howler—those tusks poking out the sides—I’m not entirely convinced that’s all they do. Descriptions and video footage of contact with Howlers make it seem like they’re not carrying as high of a shield charge as they should. I think the Spacers have stuffed some of their mechs, like the Howler, with agrav tech in order to keep them from collapsing under their own weight and recoil absorption. I’d give an arm and a leg, even knowing I’d end up with used NEP surplus prosthetics a size too small, if I could just see a Howler in its maintenance bay.-MB
