Description:
The SV-303 Aurora-class Frigate, is the spiritual successor of the SV-302. While the SV-302 was made as an unique ship, specifically for the owner of Santhe Corporation, the SV-303 was made with the intent of producing it at mass.
This means that there had to be concessions made in its design, firstly the experimental engine that gave the Valkyrie it's extra speed had to be taken out and replaced by a more standard military-grade class 1 hyperdrive. Costs were cut by Sienar Fleet Systems in that regard, which allowed the ship to be more affordable for the open-market.
Furthermore the TibannaX addition was also cut from the final-design, as it was proven to be too costly to provide it for every ship.
