Description

Fury was one of the strongest and most influential alliances in Planetarion, lasting from Round 2 to Round 8, being born out of Round 1's cluster alliance C7R. Widely viewed as one of the PA superpowers it was led mainly by Synthetic_Sid, and was credited with winning several rounds, before disbanding after Round 8. Other notable executives included Cayl, Tis, Ghenghis, Cryptic, Zhil and Germania. Famously and frequently allied with Legion to the point where the name Furgion was created to represent the duo. A significant portion of members went on to form the alliance Eclipse in Round 9 and many of the HC went on to create 1up in Round 11.

Round by Round Summary

Round 2

Fury claimed a joint victory with Legion this round after they smashed both BlueTuba and the remnants of Concordium. Having started off the round with a relatively small memberbase, less than 100 planets, Fury recruited from groups such as Joker's UPA, which ended up in Cluster 35 with them and WaC after its demise, ending up with approximately 200 members. Top galaxies dominated by Fury this round with top seven galaxies all tagging [Fury] but t100 planets were Legion dominated.

Round 3

Fury, Legion and ReBorn form The Triad. They decimate their opposition STEL before Furgion turned on RB after Section were deleted. Stagnation ensued until shortly before the end of the round Wolfpack broke off from Legion, and allying with Fury, attacked Legion. Inconclusive war ends the round.

Round 4

As part of the WTF block Fury initially appear strong but are eventually overwhelmed by massive VeX incomings alongside hostility from other alliances. Fury mount a strong late comeback but suffer throughout the round from a lack of activity from Synthetic Sid and dedication on behalf of their members.

Round 5

Going into Round 5 Fury reteamed up with Legion, who had reabsorbed the members who left in the Wolfpack split, although the alliance remained behind as WPO. The WTFVE block was formed to fight NoCeX and tore through it early on. Stagnation set in again before Fury and Legion dropped the rest of the block and spent the remainder of the round fending off their ineffective attacks and cleaning up the top rankings. A notable event for Fury this round was the creation of Wrath, Fury's recruitment alliance, under Zhil, which turned out a high number of top ranking players, many of who went on to become the core of Fury in the following rounds.

Round 6

From the start of Round 6 Fury and its block, FLTV was badly outnumbered by an opposition deeply resentful of the events of Round 5. After being crushed by FoS and Xeta in the first half of the round FLTV took advantage of the split between these two blocks by working with FoS to hit Xeta and rising back up the rankings. By the end of the round Fury were re-emerging as a dominant force but still could not catch back up to the leading FoS galaxies before the round ended.

Round 7

For the only round in its existence Fury is run this round by Cryptic instead of Syn_Sid. In response to the formation of the Newx block Fury and allies form the FFLTTVR block and destroy Newx in the first two months of round 7. As tensions build in the block Fury attempt to control events and it almost blows up in The Consortium Incident. This is averted by Legion and ViruS backing down. Titans and FAnG are targeted and roided down. Fury are almost certainly the strongest alliance of this round.

Round 8

Fury go into Round 8 solo but are dragged into a block with FAnG and ToT after the collapse of Adelante (and the merging of many of their members into Fury). The opposition this round is based around Titans and LDK, who later also recruit ViruS. Titans/LDK begin to move away, roiding top Fury planets, and despite late entry by alliances such as WP and Ely on the other side the Titans/LDK block looked sure to claim a victory as the round ended prematurely. After Round 8 Fury permanently disbanded.
