The RSI Aurora ES (also known as Essential) is the modern day descendant of the Roberts Space Industries X-7 spacecraft which tested the very first jump engines. Utilitarian to a T, the Aurora is the perfect beginner's ship: what it lacks in style it makes up for in ample room for upgrade modules.

Features

The Aurora ES is the most common "starter ship" for new flyers across the galaxy. The Aurora ES boasts a rugged base construction along with ample room for upgrades. Each of the Aurora variants is specialized in some way, but the ES is a true "jack-of-all-trades" for the enterprising pilot.

Trivia

• The CEO and founder of Consolidated Outland, Silas Koerner, refers the Aurora as "flying trash can".
