Introduction
The Majestic-Class Heavy Cruiser Fury is a heavy cruiser in service to the Scholae Palatinae Fleet, currently assigned to the Rancor Horde Task Force. In practice, the warship is the second most heavily deployed vessel in the Clan Fleet, right after her sister ship, the Basilisk.
Vessel Info
The Majestic-Class is a recent New Republic design which was meant to go up against a Star Destroyer at range and win. Using advanced targeting systems, this class can stand-off at range and hit their targets, forcing them to come in close to land the equivalent amount of firepower back. Excellent speed and maneuverability combined with heavy shielding and armor allow the ship to more than fulfill their intended role.
History
Service to the Palpatines
The ship is currently commanded by Captain Gabrielle Kaal, previous gunnery officer of the Excidium. Trained by Admiral Ail'en Sommetra, she shares her cautious nature, and is pretty much a great contrast to Captain Salina Duval of the Basilisk. Captain Kaal also shares the Admirals' passion for her crew, and is quite protective over them. An excellent teacher herself, she spends a lot of time between her duties as the Captain of her ship as well as an instructor at the Clan Naval Training Facility. As such, many (If not all) of the junior and senior midshipmen come aboard the Fury to fulfill their shipboard training cruise requirements. As such, the crew is unlikely to get past its' Green rating for quite some time.
Deployment
During periods of large-scale combat, the Fury always serves as the counterpart of the Basilisk, handling flank security or flanking maneuvers. Much like the Basilisk, the ship also is tasked with the safeguarding of important cargo runs, but is usually spared any diplomatic duties. Already the ship has seen a bit of action, easy chasing off a few half-hearted attempts by pirates to mess with Clan cargo runs.
The Fury is assigned to Line Beta along with ISDII Warspite and ESC Affliction
