The '''Fury''' originated as an [[Star League Defense Force]] command and control tank, before being produced in variants that had more direct combat and combined arms roles.

==Description==
Designed in [[2637]] as a command vehicle for [[combat vehicle|armor]] and [[infantry]] units, the Fury was a popular vehicle within the SLDF due to its weaponry and level of protection.  The design also became famous for the inclusion of the Nirasaki-400X command computer. Bordering on AI, the system was among the fastest battlefield computers available prior to the collapse of the original [[Star League]]<ref name=TRO2750p114/> and effectively functioned like a primitive version of the [[Draconis Combine]]-developed [[C3 network]].<ref name=TRO3050Rp218f>''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised'', pp. 218–219</ref><ref name=TRO3050Up178>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 178</ref>

This solidly-built vehicle was also well received for its fifteen tons of PyroTec slab armor and Pitban 320-rated [[fusion engine]], offering reasonable [[standard armor|protection]] and speed for its weight and role.<ref name=TRO2750p114/> Despite being popular with both the SLDF and Great House militaries, the design was effectively extinct by the time of the [[Second Succession War]], following Jolassa's sole remaining Fury production line's destruction, vaporized by a Draconis Combine nuclear assault in the opening stages of the [[First Succession War]].<ref name=TRO3050Rp218f/><ref name=TRO3050Up178/>

The Fury was reborn when [[Interstellar Expeditions]] discovered a massive storage vault in [[3068]], situated underneath the factory's foundation and containing pristine Furies and other Jolassa weapon systems. The company's successor, [[Jolassa-Kumbold Armored Weapons]] (JKAW), assumed operation of the site and re-introduced the combat vehicle for [[AFFS]] inventories, with a modern [[Poland Main Model C]] cannon (replacing the extinct M-9 variant) and a single [[squad]] [[infantry bay]].<ref name=TRO3050Rp218f/><ref name=TRO3050Up178/>

Using the site as a base and trading the vehicle's now-extinct main weapon for a modern [[Poland Main Model C]] cannon, as well as adding a single [[squad]] infantry bay, the company's successor [[Jolassa-Kumbold Armored Weapons]] of [[Bristol]] reintroduced the Fury for the modern [[AFFS]].<ref name=TRO3050U>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 178</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The Fury's only weapon was a turret-mounted [[M-9]] [[Gauss rifle]]. The powerful weapon provided the vehicle with excellent range and firepower and was hampered only by its minimum effective distance. Two tons of ammunition gave decent endurance in the field for a vehicle not intended to slug it out on the front line.<ref name=TRO2750p114>''Technical Readout: 2750'', p. 114: "Fury"</ref>

*; Fury II : With the [[Terran Hegemony]] unwilling to make the advanced Nirasaki-400X computer available outside of the [[SLDF Royal units]], Jolassa also produced a "dumb" version known as the Fury II, which removed the system and a ton of Gauss ammunition in exchange for a forward facing [[medium laser]] and half-ton of extra side armor.<ref name=TRO2750p114/>

*; C3 Slave : The first modern variant developed by JKAW saw the infantry bay dropped, the standard armor replaced with seventeen tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] plate, and the standard engine replaced with a [[Lyran Alliance]]-manufactured [[light fusion engine]]. The weight saved allowed the addition of a [[C3 slave unit]], a further ton of Gauss reloads, and a [[light AC/5]].<ref name=TRO3050Rp218f/><ref name=TRO3050Up178/> BV (2.0) = 1,413

::NOTE: ''The initial model of the Fury, aka the "Fury I", was originally & exclusively issued only to the [[Star League Defense Force Royal Divisions|SLDF Royal Divisions]]. Eventually, after much lobbying from the [[Star League Defense Force#Regular Army|Regular Army Command]] and others, it began to be issued to normal Regular Army units as well and, soon afterwards, was finally made available to the militaries of the Great Houses. It was at this time, the "Royal" variant was introduced. Incidentally, the wording of the entry on JKAW's revival of the Fury tank design in the [[thirtieth century]] suggests that the SLDF Furies discovered by Interstellar Expeditions, and which were used by JKAW to help reconstitute the basic Fury design template, were actually of the Royal variant, given that both the Fury I and Fury II had the infantry bay as standard.''{{cn}}

*;Fury CX-17 : An [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] variant built by [[ComStar]], this Fury model removes the weapons and armor of the original and replaces them with a pair of [[LB 5-X autocannon]]. Intended to act as a command and control vehicle, this variant carries a [[cockpit command console]] and [[drone carrier control system]] to coordinate attacks by remotely operated units. An [[Angel ECM suite]] and fourteen tons of [[reactive armor]] protect the Fury. To make room for all this equipment and protection, the CX-17 uses a [[light fusion engine]].<ref name=XTRO:CSp11>''Experimental Technical Readout: ComStar'', p. 11</ref> BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,020{{cn}}
