Based on technology from the [[Dark Age of Technology]], the Onager Dunecrawler is based on the [[Mars]] Universal Land Engine (or M.U.L.E.); itself inspired by the bad-tempered beasts of burden that transported their masters across Holy [[Terra]] in ancient times.{{Fn|1}} The M.U.L.E. was fashioned by famed techno-archaeologist [[Arkhan Land]] as a transport but was soon modified into a weapon of war. It was renamed, equipped with force shielding and replicated by the millions. The Dunecrawler of [[M41]] is largely similar and is able to even outclass the rugged vehicles of the [[Space Marines]].{{Fn|2}}
