==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'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>
