The Furies was a predominately armor-based mercenary unit.
Contents
History[edit]
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[citation needed]. 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.[1]
The planet joined the 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.[2] 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.[3]
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[4] to retake the planet on 11 August; the coalition forces,[5] including the Twentieth Marik Militia,[6] had no choice but to retreat to the nearby world of Dieudonné.[5] 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.[7][4]
It is not known if the unit fled the planet or died there.
