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.
