Fury3—The Bion Threat
During the IP Wars, the Terrans designed a race of bionic warriors
known for their cunning and their brutal strength. Physically superior
and ruthlessly aggressive, a single troop of Bions could eliminate the
inhabitants of a planet within days.
The Bion war effort saved the Coalition, but nearly destroyed Terran.
After the war, Bion aggression could not be contained. Peaceful coexistence between Bions and Terrans proved impossible. The ensuing Bion
Wars are known for their brevity—and violence.
In 2832, the Coalition ordered complete Bion dismantlement, and
instituted Terran’s renowned Council of Peace—a military defense force
inferior to none.... Unknown to the Coalition, a few Bions survived and
have assembled on a distant planet called Fury.
Their plan is to seize seven more Coalition planets whose resources will
help them attain their ultimate goal—total domination of space
from the Bion Fury outpost.
As a member of Terran’s Council of Peace,
it’s your mission to stop them.
Welcome home, Councilor.
Defeating the Threat
As a member of Terran’s Council of Peace, your role in this intergalactic
war is crucial. Bring down the Bions and peace is restored. Allow the
Bions to succeed, and you can kiss the Coalition good-bye.
Trust the intelligence report for each planet. It provides you with the
latest information concerning Bion infiltration, and satellite views of
critical Bion targets. Also trust your ship. Its Compass, when used with
the Distance Indicator, will help you steer straight toward a Bion target.
Each planet contains three separate missions. Once you’ve successfully
completed all three missions, your ship will transport you to the next
planet. Intelligence has sighted Bion infiltration on eight planets in
all.... The last planet is a killer.
Be ruthless, Councilor. The Bions are.
Success rests in your sights
All hits are valued equally. Spare the greenery—palm trees and seaweed
are not the enemy. Too easy? For a more aggressive enemy with greater
firepower, choose a harder level of play. Enemy firepower and reckless
flying take their toll on your ship. And when your shield strength is
gone, so are you.
The Planets
Terran
Terran wasn’t always a Utopia. Ravaged by the IP Wars and then by the
Bion Wars, Terran’s peace has been hard-earned. And now the Bions
have returned....
L24-D
L24-D contains the largest repository of carbonium, an explosive
with 48 times the power and radiation damage of a fusion bomb.
The Bions want it for their perilous missile, the BFM.
Ares
The isomorphic decay of Arean red sheol attracts wormholes
—shortcuts through space and time. The Bions plan to mine the sheol,
control the wormholes, and monopolize all intergalactic travel.
New Kroy
New Kroy is a city planet that’s reputed to be impenetrable. Its buildings
are grown from polyKroy, an organic synthetic that is transparent, grows
into any shape, and is nearly indestructible.
Sebek
According to ancient Sebekian scriptures, the Death Ankh grants its
possessor immortality. Seize it before the Bions do! You don’t want an
enemy you can’t kill....
Vestra
Once the penal colony for Bionic insurgents, Vestra is now the Bions’
military training ground. They’ve recruited their most ruthless fighters,
Councilor. They want you dead!
Tiamat
Tiamat’s oceans contain the last repositories of attainable phosphorous, a
fundamental energy source in all living and bionic things.
Without access to Tiamat’s waters, the Bions will die.
Fury
Fury is the Bion deep space outpost.
Destroy this planet and you’ll defeat
the Bion threat! At least for now....

Weapons
Your ship holds seven weapons, but you begin with only one—the
ServoKinetic Laser. Choose from the weapons you’ve uploaded by
pressing keys 1-7.
Name your weapon
1 ServoKinetic Laser (SKL)—A direct-fire laser known as the “Serv.”
Always available. Always dependable.
2 Dispersion Cannon 14 (DC14)—Fires in a spray pattern and is good
for strafes. Even more powerful than the Serv.
3 Rapid-Fire Laser 20 (RFL20)—The twentieth iteration of the most
powerful direct-fire laser. Will leave them begging for mercy.
4 Dead-On Missile (DOM)—This missile shoots straight ahead. Aim
carefully and don’t look back.
5 The Viper (VIP)—Its infrared will track any target. Guaranteed!
6 Bion Fury Missile (BFM)—This Super Missile was first developed by
the Bions during the IP Wars. These babies do major damage.
7
F3 (FFF)—The most deadly triple-stage Smart Bomb destroys every-
thing within range. Restores shields automatically and has an IQ of
2000, better than yours.
Lasers regenerate their own ammo. Trigger fiends will be thankful.
Missiles do more damage but are harder to find. They do not regenerate.
The
F3 is a serious threat and a serious payload—you carry only one at a
time, but one is more than enough.
To load or strengthen weapons
The Bions pillaged Coalition stockpiles and stored many of the weapons
underground. You’ll have to recapture the rest in battle. When you
destroy certain Bion targets, Coalition weapons are extracted and stored
indefinitely in a floating weapons cache. Fly through the cache to:
• Upload new weapons.
• Strengthen weapons already in your arsenal.
• Add ammo for onboard weapons.
Choose a weapon by pressing keys 1-7.
Fire a weapon by pressing Button 1 on the joystick, or press SPACEBAR.
PowerUps
Your ship identifies atmospheric energy fields and rechannels them into
floating energy caches. Fly through them and watch for these messages:
Shield Boost! Shields strengthened.
Shields Restored! Shields completely restored.
Invincibility! 30 seconds of total invincibility.
Invisibility! 30 seconds of invisibility.
Turbo Thrust! Can you say SPEED3?
