------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Based vaguely on the concept of the Harrasser, the Hellfury Hovertank was
designed by Johnston Industries in 3064. but the needs of the Civill War kept
production from starting until late 3066.

The Hellfury's primary advantages are high firepower and heavy armor, combined
with a surprisingly low cost. Although the GM internal combustion engine
reduces the vehicle's speed somewhat, the reduction in cost was deemed a
worthy tradeoff.

==Capabilities:==
The Hellfury's armament consists of ten Federated SuperStreak Streak SRM 2
missile launchers. The SuperStreak launchers were used instead of a smaller
number of larger launchers because of their inexpense, easy availability, and
proven reliability; indeed, the SuperStreak launchers cut the vehicle's price
by more than half-a-million c-bills. And while the Streak SRM 2 is
individually an unimpressive weapon, ten of them pose a significant threat to
any opponent, including BattleMechs. The Streak launchers also insure that
none of the Hellfury's three tons of ammunition is wasted.

With short ranged weapons and a high speed of nearly 120 kph, the Hellfury
functions as a harrasser, moving in and hitting its target with a barrage that
few vehicles can match. The Hellfury is especially effective against targets
which have already sustained some armor damage, where its large number of
missiles can more easily find and exploit armor breaches.

The Hellfury's only real flaw is its lack of a long ranged weapon. Against a
ranged opponent, the Hellfury depends on its speed and armor to get into
range. The Hellfury carries eight tons of Duraweave ferro fibrous composite,
giving it a level of armor that few hovertanks can match. The ferro fibrous
armor is the only expensive component of the Hellfury, but the added
protection was judged to be worth the slightly increased cost.

==Deployment==
ALthough designed in 3064, the needs of the Civil War kept production of the
Hellfury from starting until late 3066. The Hellfury is already being deployed
to RCTs and independent armor regiments across the Federated Suns.

In addition to the AFFS, Johnston Industries has received orders from the
LAAF, and the Outland Alliance, as well as planetary nobles in both the
Federated Suns and Lyran Alliance. There have also been orders from several
mercenary units and a small number of Chaos March powers.
