In [[2526]], a one-megaton Fury in the engineering compartment acted as the [[self-destruct]] device for the [[Prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}}.

In [[2526]] during the [[Battle of Seoba]], a one-megaton Fury in the engineering compartment acted as the [[self-destruct]] device for the [[Prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}}. Activated by [[Linda-058]], the explosion destroyed both the Prowler and the Covenant ship attempting to capture it.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''chapter 15''</ref>
 
Later, during the attack on the Covenant world of [[Zhoist]], the Spartans and the [[21st Space Assault Battalion|Black Daggers]] working with them armed themselves with one Fury per team along with their other nuclear ordinance. After reaching a Covenant [[space elevator]], Lieutenant [[Small Bear]] planted [[Blue Team]]'s Fury near the elevator on a forty minute timer on [[John-117]]'s command.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''chapter 25''</ref> Blue Team and some of Third Platoon managed to reach a transit tube in time at the elevator's terminus in the [[Ring of Mighty Abundance]]. When the Fury detonated, the shockwave traveled up the [[gravity lift]] tens of thousands of kilometers to the Ring, though it was much reduced in power when it arrived.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''pages 347-353''</ref> [[Green Team]] also planted a Fury by the space elevator they used and the detonation of both destroyed two of the Ten Cities on Zhoist.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''epilogue''</ref>
