==Description==
The '''Prairie Schooner land train''' was created by Johnston Industries of [[New Syrtis]]. The company extracted information to create the Prairie by accessing the [[Helm Memory Core]] as did [[NAIS]] when they first recovered military technology.  Among the data recovered included the methods of manufacturing the components, such as the fusion engine.<ref name="TRO:VAp8"/><ref name="TRO:VArp24"/>

The company extract information to create the Prairie by access the [[Helm Memory Core]] as did [[NAIS]] did when they first recover military technology.  Recovering the methods of manfacturing the components, such as the Fusion Engine.
  
The Prairie Schooner Train is designed to allow a mass transportation connection between distant settlements on less developed planets.  The Ninety ton tractor alone can operate without pulling its 30 ton trailer modules and still have ample room to transport cargo. The Schooner is designed to haul three trailer modules of different loads and purposes, such as for the transportation of cargo and people. 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" - Prairie Schooner Land Trains employed as part of the Blakist supply force</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>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised'', p. 6: "Wheeled Support Vehicles"</ref>
