Schooners were not intended for military service, however due to their lifting capacities they have been employed as a part of military supply trains, as was seen when the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[31st Division (Word of Blake)|31st Division]] used them on [[New Avalon]] at the start of the [[Jihad]].<ref name=JTP:NAp8>''Jihad Turning Points: New Avalon'', p. 8: "Unwelcome Guests"</ref>

During the [[Jihad]] the [[New Syrtis]] plant was heavily damaged. In response, Johnston Industries upgraded their plant on [[Benet III]] to produce the Prairie Schooner.<ref name="TRO:VArp6">''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised'', p. 6: "Wheeled Support Vehicles"</ref>

==Equipment and Capacities==
 +
The Module (trailer) has been given 2.5 tons of light composite armor to allow for better protection against normal threats to the train. The vehicle is not armed with any weaponry, however customers have added weapons.<ref name=TRO:VAp8/>
  
== Equipment and Capabilities ==
+
The vehicle is setup with the Trailer and Off-road Chassis and Controls Modifications.  The offroad suspension and big wheels adds to stability and provides an easy ride for the crew and cargo.<ref name=TRO:VAp8/>
