At least three of these transports were present when theEmpire retook Korriban in the early years of the Great Galactic War, one of them carryingVindican and hisapprentice,Malgus, to the space station near the planet. Thetransports were stationed in the hangars ofImperial battlecruisers and used by personnel within the Empire. One such owner wasTeneb Kel, who used hisFury-class transport during his hunt forExal Kressh.

Near the end of theCold War,another ship of this class was given to apromising young Sith Lord under the apprenticeship ofDarth Baras. They would use the ship as a transport to numerous worlds in order to do their master's bidding untilQuesh, where they were betrayed by Baras. The ship would later become the mobile base for the newly christened Lord Wrath and their allies, leading up to the events that would have themdefeat their former master.

Behind the scenes[]

Fury-class Imperial interceptor concept art — Concept art by Ryan Dening

"You were given this ship by the Empire, so it wasn't some evil shop concocted out of the dark side of the Force or something. It's as if a TIE interceptor and theMillennium Falcon made out and had a baby. It's got the docking room at the back, and it's got some turrets on the sides, but it also has these big triangular wings."

―Senior Concept Artist Ryan Dening^[4]

TheFury-class interceptor was designed by the concept art team underRyan Dening, the senior concept artist forStar Wars: The Old Republic, as the personal starship for Sith players. When they began developing the vessel, the team had already decided on a geometric style of smooth surfaces and a large number of angles for the Imperial ships, and they were unable to deviate a great deal from this style as the ship was intended to be factory-issue.^[4]
