The Aurora Mk I SE (Special Edition) is the farewell to this beloved starter ship: the versatility of the MR, the hold of the CL, the firepower of the LN and the luxury of the LX combined.

📜 Its history

The Aurora is the modern-day descendant of the Roberts Space Industries X-7, the test craft for the very first jump engines. The Mk I range, offered in several versions, was for years the first ship of countless pilots.
