Description
Designed in 2637 as a command vehicle for armor and infantry units, the Fury become popular for its armor and weaponry.
The design also became known in the ranks of the SLDF for its 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[1] and effectively functioned like a primitive version of the Draconis Combine developed C3 System.[2]
The solidly built vehicle was also well received for its fifth-teen tons of PyroTec slab armor and Pitban 320 rated Fusion Engine, offering good protection and speed for its weight and role. [1] Despite being popular in both the SLDF and Great House militaries, the destruction Jolassa's sole Fury production line on Tybalt by a Draconis Combine nuclear assault in the opening stages of the First Succession War resulted in the design becoming extinct by the Second outside of ComStar's stockpiles.[2]
The design was reborn when Interstellar Expedition discovered a massive stoage vault underneath the factory foundation in 3068 with pristine Furys and other Jolassa weaponry. Using these as a base, switching the still extinct M-9 gauss cannon for a modern Poland Main Model C and including a single squad infantry bay, the companies successor Jolassa-Kumbold Armored Weapons of Bristol reintroduced it for modern AFFS.[2]
Armament
The Fury's only weapon is a turret mounted 1M-9 Gauss Rifle. The powerful rifle gives the vehicle excellent range and firepower, only hampered by the minimum effective distance. Two tons of Gauss reloads gives the Fury decent endurance in the field for a vehicle not intended to slug it out on the front line.[1]
Variants
- Fury II - With the Terran Hegemony unwilling to allow the advanced Nirasaki-400X computer to be used outside of the SLDF Royal Units, Jolassa also produced a "dumb" version known as the Fury II which removes the system and a ton of Gauss ammunition in exchange for an forward facing Medium Laser and half a ton of extra side armor.[1]
- C3 Slave - The first modern variant developed by JKAW sees the infantry bay dropped, the standard armor replaced with seventeen tons of Ferro-Fibrous plate and the standard engine is replaced with a Lyran Alliance manufactured Light Fusion Engine. The saved weight allows the addition of a C3 Slave Unit, a further ton of Gauss reloads, and a Light AC/5.[2]
- C3 Master - Designed to work cooperatively with the C3 Slave version, this version also features Ferro-Fibrous armor and a Light Fusion Engine, but also sees the Gauss Rifle replaced with a C3 Master Computer, new 'Mech-scale Plasma Rifle and a Rotary AC/5. The infantry bay has been retained and expanded, allowing it to carry either two squads of standard infantry or one of Battle Armor troops.[2]
