The Furide Warship is a warship model in service of the Furide Navy. The Furide Warship is a mid-sized warship compared to most ships of the URUP Alliance. It is the main warship used by the very little known Furide People.
Armament and Technical Specifications[]
The warship boasts massive oversized guns and large missile tubes as per the Furide Navy's preference for heavy firepower, armed with a total of thirty-six heavy energy guns in groups of twelve at the sides and the front, and are fix mounted due to its massive size and are linked together in a single fire control system allowing the Furide Warship to fire in large salvos, the Furide Warship is further armed with thirty missile tubes occupying the frontal and center mass of the ship in ten groups of three.
While it does not possess shielding capability, its hull is heavily armored and somewhat on par with the Yamato, able to resist multiple direct hits from shock cannons, even resisting heavy cannon fire from the Yamato herself, and still able to function and fight, requiring extreme firepower to take these ships down. These are shown to be capable of entering the gravity well of a Blackhole (as shown during the Battle of BH-199 Blackhole).
It is unknown if the Furide Warship has any sort of launch bay or hanger bay for fighters, shuttle-craft, or escape craft as it seems to lack any for that matter, or it could be possible that the Furide don't even care about hanger bays or room for auxiliary craft as there is still very little known about the Furide themselves.
Interior[]
Main Bridge[]
Very little of the Furide Warship’s interior is shown, as we only get a really good look at the main bridge of the Furide Warship itself. In the center of the Furide Warship’s impressive and spacious main bridge layout, is a single tall command chair for the commander or fleet admiral, to have a nice view of the battlefield itself, via the main bridge’s extremely wide window. There are also many visible stations and control consoles (to left and right), one we do know is for the helmsman to steer, navigate, and pilot the slow moving vessel, and the other station acts as the weapons console for the weapons officer. It remains unclear as to what the other consoles are for.
And finally, the walls, floors, and ceiling on the Furide Warship’s main bridge interior possesses the same red colors as the exterior.
History[]
Furide Warships participated in the destruction of the 2nd Migration Fleet alongside allied SUS Battleships but not before the fleet sent a distress signal before it's destruction.[1]
Many warships of this class participated in the combined Alliance [the force included ships belonging to planets Furide, Beldel, and Ethos fleets] attack on the 3rd Migration Fleet during the Battle of BH-199 Blackhole. However, due to the Yamato, many Furide Warships were destroyed including the flagship, leaving the remaining ships leaderless. The rest of the Furide continued their attack until the Ethos Flagship Seagull's commander Admiral Gorui deliberately put his ship and crew right in the middle of the crossfire between the Beldel and Furides Fleets prevented them from firing since the defensive and brave action of the Yamato is "not how barbarians act". Admiral Gorui then contacts Kodai and the rest of the crew of the Yamato and apologizes to him that they were misled, and twisted to do the bidding of the SUS. Seeing that the EDF Escort Fleet fought honorably, Gouri allows them to go in peace, much to the confusion of the Furide and Beldel Fleets. It had some repercussions, as Admiral Gorui is later threatened by Balzman, the Commander-in-Chief of the SUS. However, Gorui holds his ground and states that it is the Ethos code of honor to let go an worthy and respected opponent who risks their lives in battle to let others live. Angered, Balzman gives Gorui a very stern warning that if he ever fails him or attempts to defy them again, the SUS will not only punish him and his fleet, but they will also destroy the home world of the Ethos if they attempt to mount any sort of resistance. Unafraid, Admiral Gorui and his forces head towards Amare while leaving the Furide and Beldel Forces behind.[1]
During the final Battle of SUS Fortress many Furide Warships and Beldel warships took part during the first part of the battle but eventually withdrew when the SUS Empire fired their High Powered Neutron Cannons, taking out many ships on both sides including many of the Furide, Beldel, and SUS Empire's own ships as well in the process, including General Pascal and his entire Amare forces that were fighting alongside Earth. Seeing this and realizing that SUS Empire doesn’t even care about lives of their own allies, both the Furide and Bedel fleets decided to withdraw and leave the SUS Empire to their sealed fate paving the way for the Earth Federation fleet to finish the job in eventually destroying the colossal SUS Fortress and their remaining fleet, although at the cost of a great many innocent lives being lost. This act also eventually signals the end of the war between Earth and the SUS Empire and finally brought everlasting independence for both Earth and Amare, as well as the rest of the universe.[1]
