'''The Furies''' was a predominately [[Combat Vehicle|armor]]-based [[mercenary]] unit.

==History==
 
==History==
This armor command originated with the [[DCMS]]. The unit worked for many smaller factions thought it lost the financial means to employ mercenaries with [[BattleMechs]]{{cn}}. After [[Operation GUERRERO]], the Furies worked for the [[Duchy of Small]] and then the [[Terracap Confederation]], on [[Capolla]], training garrison and militia forces in armor tactics. They also had a clause in their [[Chaos March]] contracts that said they wouldn't have to face any attacking force from a [[Successor State]] that was larger than a [[battalion]]. This was intended to keep them from being left stranded by an incompetent or lazy employer.<ref name=fmmp69>''Field Manual: Mercenaries Revised'', p. 69, "Unit Profile"</ref>
 
 
The planet joined the [[Word of Blake Protectorate|Protectorate]] at the start of the [[Jihad]]. The Furies primarily trained local militias. Since they remained in the Word of Blake Protectorate, the [[Mercenary Review and Bonding Commission]] listed them among their "Wanted or Renegade Commands." The Furies were members of the [[Allied Mercenary Command]] and their refusal to break their contract with Capolla was seen as a betrayal.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 18</ref> Despite this, the Furies had a clause in their contract that prevented them from participating in any atrocities by the Word of Blake. Investigators sent to Capolla confirmed that the Furies were only carrying out the duties of a standard garrison and cadre training contract.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 54</ref>
 
 
During [[Operation SCOUR]], the Word of Blake responded to the loss of [[Marcus]] by dispatching a combination of hired mercenaries (in the form of the [[Canned Heat]], [[Clifton's Rangers]], [[The Furies]], and the [[Stealthy Tigers]]<ref name="TCp164"/> to retake the planet on 11 August; the coalition forces,<ref name="J:FRp57"/> including the [[20th Marik Militia|Twentieth Marik Militia]],<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 59–60, "Chaos Eternal: Blood And Fury"</ref> had no choice but to retreat to the nearby world of [[Dieudonné]].<ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57, "The Jihad in Review"</ref> Two teams of [[ComStar]]-affiliated [[Blake's Wrath]] units destroyed the uranium mines to deny them to the Word of Blake. The Blakist mercenaries were not concerned with limiting collateral damage, and when word of the Coalition's conquest of [[Terra]] reached them, the natives (aided by ComStar) overthrew their mercenary overseers; some of them had already escaped when news of the fall of Terra arrived.<ref>''Total Chaos'', p. 165</ref><ref name="TCp164">''Total Chaos'', pp. 164–165, "MARCUS"</ref>
 
 
It is not known if the unit fled the planet or died there.
