- Heavy Blaster: Instead of conventional missile launchers Aurora fighters are equipped with an exotic particle beam blaster which fires an unstable energy blast that violently explodes upon contact. While it lacks the tracking efficiency of guided torpedoes the Uukaablian energy based approach make these fighters particularly effective shield busters.
- Uukaablian Durability: Unlike most standard attack craft these ships are of Uukaablian design, meaning particularly robust shield systems. Aurora hulls are only lightly reinforced, the bulk of their protection comes from a supercharged deflector grid.
- Prow Mount: The fighter's heavy firepower is concentrated into its fixed prow mounting. Unlike a missile barrage the Aurora must remain perfectly aligned with its target for the duration of any attack run.
- Precision Fire: The particle beam mount is a much less fighter to fighter weapon. When dueling enemy interceptors Uukaablian pilots are forced to rely on their underslung laser cannons.
- Sensor Bloom: Auroras would make terrible stealth fighters. Due to an oversized reactor unit for the ship's size even Uukaablian fighters register clearly on scans at long range.
- Aft Generator: Its exposed generator housing makes for one hell of a priority target. If the shield integrity weakens enough any stray fire could cause a destructive explosion.
Mainstay of the Uukaablian Navy, Aurora-class fighters are sleek and exotic strike craft built to exploit two of the species' main strengths. Advanced deflector technology, and exotic energy weaponry. Instead of conventional warheads the Aurora comes equipped with a heavy particle beam blaster that fires similarly destructive bursts of unstable energy. This allows them to excel both as shield busters and longer range platforms against fixed targets at the sacrifice of any homing functionality.
Known for their distinct exposed generators the Aurora is rarely flown by non-natives but a squadron or two has found its way into the hands of the Underground after so many years working together with Uukaablis and its people.
