−	While the Combine initially kept the Dragon's Fury at arm's length, with [[Coordinator]] [[Vincent Kurita]] giving little public acknowledgement to their efforts, the [[Republic Armed Forces]] speculated that the Coordinator was waiting for Tormark to perform some great act to demonstrate her fealty to the Dragon before publicly accepting the Fury. Despite the lack of acknowledgement the Fury were very active in the first two years after Gray Monday, primarily concentrating on systems within Prefectures I, II and III of the Republic that had once been Combine worlds.

Once the Amaterasu defected to the Fury, Tormark restructured the unit, reorganizing it until it was composed solely of female personnel.<ref name="ED:DAp14"/> The third element of the Fury actively recruited by Tormark, the contingent known as the Brotherhood, were the product of clever manipulation and negotiation on Katana's part, conducted across a dozen worlds. Appealing to adventurers, peasants and local militia forces through shared Kuritan heritage, Katana created fictitious unit histories to link individuals to glorious events from the history of the Combine and thereby persuaded the various disparate elements to work together for her against the Republic.<ref name="ED:DAp14"/> The Dragon's Fury waged a bloody campaign to capture the former Combine worlds with the goal to rebuild the [[Dieron Military District]]. They would have succeeded had they not been opposed by the [[Northwind Highlanders]]<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 14</ref> and [[III Principes Guards]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 41</ref> They are known to have hit [[New Rhodes III]]<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 12</ref> and [[Murchison]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 40</ref> The Dragon's Fury later coordinated their assaults into the newly-reestablished Dieron Military District with the efforts of a Galaxy of troops from [[Clan Nova Cat]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 20</ref> Tormark's father, [[Akira Tormark]], had connections with the Combine intelligence service known as the [[Order of Five Pillars]], and when he defected to the Republic he brought a cell of [[O5P]] operatives with him, disguised as servants and retainers. The Republic failed to spot this at the time, and after Gray Monday Katana used her father's operatives and their descendants to create a unit within the Fury named after the O5P. Used for scouting, reconnaissance and possibly active combat, the resulting [[battalion]] kept itself largely isolated from interactions with outsiders.<ref name="ED:DAp14"/> Early in their history, Dragon's Fury came into conflict with [[DCMS]] commands. Several times DCMS units attacked them. These problems were eliminated only after [[Yori Kurita]] assumed command of a Dragon's Fury unit. The Dragon's Fury was eventually absorbed into the Draconis Combine during late [[3135]], their leader being made Warlord of Dieron by decree of [[Coordinator]] [[Vincent Kurita]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 16</ref> The close ties of the Dragon's Fury to Clan Nova Cat later caused problems when the Nova Cats rebelled against the Combine in [[3141]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 91</ref> Prior to their integration into the DCMS, Dragon's Fury attacked or raided numerous worlds, including: [[Addicks]]<ref name="FM:3145p23"/><ref name="ED:DAp10"/> (November [[3132]])<ref name="ED:DAp10"/>, [[Mallory's World]]<ref name="FM:3145p23"/><ref name="ED:DAp10"/> (November 3132)<ref name="ED:DAp10"/>, [[Dieron]]<ref name="FM:3145p23"/><ref name="ED:DAp10"/> (September 3132)<ref name="ED:DAp10">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 10, "Dark Age Timeline"</ref>, [[Vega]]<ref name="FM:3145p23"/><ref name="ED:DAp10"/> (March 3133)<ref name="ED:DAp10"/>, and [[Ronel]].<ref name="FM:3145p23">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 23</ref> During the fighting on Dieron in 3132 the Dragon's Fury secretly received assistance from [[Luthien Armor Works]] in the form of their new harassment 'Mech, the ''[[Cricket]]''. While the [[lance]] of prototype 'Mechs spent nearly as much time in repair as in the field, the ''Cricket''s would prove highly adept at disruption of the Republic forces and valuable test data was gained to ensure mass-production of the design. <ref name=rg6p4>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 6'', p. 4 "RWN-01 Cricket"</ref> On [[3133|October 22, 3133]] they landed on [[Irian]]<ref>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 17</ref>, facing off against elements of the [[Swordsworn]] faction. The Fury inflicted heavy losses on the Swordsworn and forced them to retreat.<ref>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 8</ref> The Fury had assaulted the IrTech facility on the world, but was driven off after inflicting heavy losses on the defenders. They later teamed up with the IrTech Security detachment to face the [[Steel Wolves]]. Two Steel Wolf attacks were defeated. The Fury then assaulted the [[Stormhammers]] after they landed on Irian. This assault was sufficient to force the 'Hammers to retreat without ever having seen the IrTech factory. Three days after that the Fury faced a combined [[Spirit Cats]]/Steel Wolf assault. Although the Fury fought the Clan forces to a standstill, it took the arrival of the [[Bounty Hunter]] to break the stalemate. After the Hunter defeated both Clan leaders, the Cats and Wolves left Irian. The Fury stood down to make repairs, leaving them vulnerable to an attack by [[Bannson's Raiders]]. The Raiders focused on inflicting damage on the IrTech factories, and though the Fury eventually stopped all the Raiders, the factories took heavy damage.<ref>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 9</ref> By [[3134]] found the Fury still garrisoning [[Irian]]. Most of the Fury was used off-world at this time; the few remaining defenders from the Fury were integrated into a single cohesive command with the Irian Standing Guard and IrTech Security.<ref>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 10</ref> The 29 July of the same year, a Fury's raiding force composed by a lone 'Mech and three MODs on [[Sadachbia]] was annihilated by a lone [[Highlander IIC]] piloted by a woman making herself called ''the Banshee''. She led depart the 'Mech to deliver a message to Katana Tormark.<ref> ''Tales of the Cracked Canopy: No Rest for the Accursed''</ref> ===Destruction=== In [[3143]], Katana and the Nova Cats supported Emi Kurita's side during the [[Draconis Combine Civil War|Kurita rebellion]]. Unfortunately for Katana and the Fury, this was the losing side of the war. Units allied with [[Yori Kurita]] destroyed the Nova Cats and focused their attention on the Dragon's Fury. The few survivors of the Fury surrendered to the victors while Katana was imprisoned on the Draconis Combine capital of [[Luthien]]. With the loss of Katana Tormark, the Dragon's Fury ceased to exist.<ref>Field Manual: 3145, p.20</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Dragon's Fury''' |- | ||[[Katana Tormark]]||<ref name=FM3145p14/> |- |} ==Tactics== Different per Unit. ==Units of the Dragon's Fury== * [[File:Amaterasu (Dragons Fury) logo.png|50px]] [[Amaterasu]] (elite BattleMech regiment) * [[File:Order of the Five Pillars (Dragons Fury) logo.png|50px]] [[Order of the Five Pillars (Dragon's Fury)|Order of the Five Pillars]] (recon and espionage section) * [[File:The Brotherhood (Dragons Fury) logo.png|50px]] [[The Brotherhood]] (militia, majority of Fury members) ==Color Scheme and Insignia== The Dragon's Fury paint their equipment in dark gray and red.
