Weapon Description

STL - 4 - High-powered super-turbolaser cannon. Weapon is retractable inside ventral hull. Weapon can be traversed fifteen degrees left or right; additional traversing requires re-direction of the entire ship. In this case, maneuvering controls are temproarily routed to a specially trained tactical/master weapons officer who aligns the weapon for firing.

Laser gatlings - Quick-firing independent gun turrets each possessing auto-load features. Turrets can be trained on fighters or missiles and thus are droid served and remotely controlled from the tactical command center on either the bridge or auxilliary bridge. In the absence of primary firing orders, the nearest turbolaser gun captain can operate the weapon.

Vessel Compliment
x1 Squadrons TIE Defenders
x1 Sentinel-class Shuttle

Vessel Description/Specification

The Fury is designed as a weapons platform for the STL-$ which hitherto has been mounted on the Imperial V Star Destroyers and the eight Conqueror-class battleships currently in service. While this mounting protocol has protected the weapon from loss, it has hitherto not been employed against lighter ships here it would be devastatingly effective.

The Furty is based on a frigate's hull design with a wide prow similar in shape to the Strike II-Cruiser, a spar running aft from that to the drive section which contains a bank of six CEC engines. The Fury is thus as fast as a comparable ship (though not in the Fire-class range) and, as the STL-4 is concealed when not in use, able to blend in with them as an inconspicuous target.

At face value, the Fury is a light ship mounting a very thin plating of armor and weak shields. This is neccessary as for the design to work, the standard reactor had to be enlarged and power shunted from it to the STL itself.

In addition to the STL-4, there are eight turbolaser turrets ( one on either side of the drive section; two on either side of the forward section; one dorsal, one ventral, forward section) and seven laser gatlings (two aft, drive section; two ventral, either side of STL mount; two, flanks of forward; one dorsal command section). The concussion missile tubes are mounted fore and aft and provide for additional punch while the STL recharges.

The Fury, to an attacker, appears to be an under-armed and under-armored ship to those who might fight her. That is the appearance, though, Imperial designers have intended to cultivate.
