The ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer '''''Blood Fury''''' was a [[WarShip]] which entered service within the [[Clan Blood Spirit]] [[Clan Blood Spirit Touman|''touman'']] as the CBS ''Blood Fury''.<ref name="BT:25YoAaFp203+">''BattleTech: 25 Years of Art & Fiction'', p. 203-210, "The Color of Rage"</ref><ref name="FM:WCp108">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 30, "Blood Guard Keshik and the Naval Reserve"</ref>

As at [[3059]] the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer '''''Blood Fury''''' was a [[WarShip]] within the [[Clan Blood Spirit]] [[Clan Blood Spirit Touman|''touman'']] and was serving as the CBS ''Blood Fury''. The ''Blood Fury'' was one of only four WarShips in the Blood Spirit ''touman'' at this point, and was serving as a part of the [[Naval Reserve (Clan Blood Spirit)|Naval Reserve]].<ref name="FM:WCp108">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 30, "Blood Guard Keshik and the Naval Reserve"</ref>
 
 
The ''Blood Fury'' was destroyed in battle during the invasion of [[York (Clan System)|York]] by [[Clan Star Adder]] in late August [[3063]]. The ''Blood Fury'', which had been stationed in orbit around York when a Star Adder taskforce led by the [[Essex]]-class destroyer ''[[Tehuantepec]]'' arrived via [[Pirate point]], was the sole Blood Spirit WarShip in a position to resist the Star Adder landing.
 
  
During the last stages of the orbital battle when the Adder's committed the majority of their [[DropShip]]s to landing, the ''Tehuantepec'' was able to attack the ''Blood Fury'' unhindered while the Fury itself focused on causing massive losses to the Adder's troop transports. This caused fatal damage to the ''Blood Fury'', which then chose to attempt a suicidal hyperspace jump in order to cause as much further damage to the Adders as possible.

The ''Blood Fury'' was destroyed in battle during the invasion of [[York]] by [[Clan Star Adder]] in late August [[3064]].<ref name="WORp15">''Wars of Reaving'', p. 15, "Balance of Power"</ref>
 
 
This jump destroyed the ''Blood Fury'', as well as a number of Adder DropShips and [[aerospace fighter]]s, and caused significant damage to the ''Tehuantepec''.<ref name="BT:25YoAaFp203+"></ref>
 
 
 
==Notes==
 
* The destruction of the ''Blood Fury'' was later reported by [[Clan Diamond Shark]] [[Loremaster]] [[Semi Kalasa]] to have occurred in late August [[3064]] in [[The Wars of Reaving]] sourcebook<ref name="WORp15">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 15, "Balance of Power"</ref>, rather than August 3063, but this dating does not match the contemporaneous account in the earlier ''[[The Color of Rage]]'' short story.
