Description
One of the smallest DropShips operated by the Successor State militaries, the Fury-Class can deliver four Infantry platoons and eight light Combat Vehicles onto the battlefield.
Due to its relatively light weapons array, the Fury is forced to operate in conjunction with better armed DropShips such as the Gazelle armor transport and Leopard CV fighter carrier, and while unsuited to the task is often used for raids and planetary assaults because larger vessels such as the Condor and Triumph are too valuable to risk.
Armament
Carrying a volume of weaponry near the bare minimum for a military craft, the Fury has a PPC and paired Medium Lasers mounted in the nose, while an LRM-20, small and medium lasers fill each wing. An AC/10 and twin medium lasers fend off attacks from the rear.
Cargo
The Fury is capable of carrying two light Combat Vehicle Lances and four infantry platoons. The vehicle ramp is a major annoyance for the class, so steep that some vehicles have difficulty driving up it. Each of platoons have their own bunkroom, equipped with three-tier bunkbeds, storage lockers and washrooms. Infantry and armor crews share the same mess area and cramped recreation area.
Variants
- Upgrade - Completing a minor redesign to upgrade the Fury with Star League era weapons in 3056, Brigadier Corporation of Gibson have replaced the standard PPC with an extended range model, added Artemis IV FCS to the LRM launchers, removed the Small Lasers while adding two additional Medium Lasers. The barely upgraded weapon array is still not enough to allow the craft to operate independently, and other flaws such as the Furys steep cargo bay ramp/door has been barely addressed, the common field refitted steel cable winch added as a factory install to mitigate the issue.
