Overview

Ancestor use

One of several different classes of ships used by the Ancestors ^[1][2] the Aurora class were used originally in the Ancients war against the Wraith, technologically being more superior to the Wraiths cruisers and hives, however the downfall of the Ancients in the Pegasus galaxy was because of the Wraiths far superior numbers.^[3]

The Atlantis Expedition encounter a Ancient battleship for the first time when a Zero Point Module is introduced to the city of Altantis and a transmission is sent into space recalling any Ancient ships in range, the only one detected is the "Aurora", which the team investigate, and it is subsequently destroyed. In the science fiction universe Stargate SG-1 the Tauri (Terran in Ancient) (Midgard in Asgard) Homo sapiens sapiens [tɔːɹi] or [taʊːɹi] (sometimes spelled Tauri, and often spoken as People of the Tauri) is a widespread term used to refer to humans of Earth (Milky Way...

Asuran use

The Asurans, or Replicators use the ship class as well as several other Alteran designed ships, despite being in existence from the time when the Alterans were in Pegasus (10,000 years ago) the Asurans refer to the ships as Aurora class.^[4]

The ships also appear to be made from the same materials that the Alterans used, meaning they can be destroyed using conventional methods, unlike the encountered replicator ships in the Milky Way and The Asuran Replicators themselves.^[5]

Other use

An almost completely operational Warship is acquired by the Atlantis Expedition from a human faction named the "Taranians", the ship is fully repaired on route to engage the wraith, and is subsequently destroyed in the ensuing battle.^[6]

A human group of Travelers' acquire a dormant Aurora class ship which was abandoned after a battle with the Wraith, the ship loses its bridge, and several systems are in-active however after help from the Atlantis Expedition's Col. John Sheppard the ship is repaired for use by the human group.^[7]

Systems

Tactical

The ships utilize Drones for primary offense and defense as well as using shielding technology which can be enhanced through the use of a Zero Point Module.^[3] The drones can be controlled from both the bridge of the ship and the Weapons Control Platform, similar to that of Atlantis, Earth and Proclarush Taonas.^[8] Large turrets align the hull of the ship, all of which appear to be of similar design to the cannon used on the ancients project "Arcturus"^[9] the turrets are only seen in use on the Asurans Aurora class battleships in their fight with the Wraith/Human/Traveler fleet.^[3] A single inactive Drone Weapon being analyzed. ... The Stargate is considered to be the Ancients most famous creation. ...

Stasis Pods

Egg-shaped pods that can be modified so that their occupants can participate in a virtual construct, allowing their minds to remain active during long voyages. The pods interface directly with the ship's computer so the crew may work on tasks while they are asleep, even allowing the alteration and deletion of files from the ships computers.^[1]

Engines

The Aurora's primary function is as a battleship, long distance is less achievable, the Aurora's hyperdrive is better suited to jump a short distance in a faster amount of time in hyperspace, however with modifications, the hyperdrive can achieve longer distances.^[1] The sub-light engines can also be modified to reach .999 speed of light.^[10] The speed of light in a vacuum is an important physical constant denoted by the letter c for constant or the Latin word celeritas meaning swiftness.[1] It is the speed of all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, in a vacuum. ...

Locations

Bridge

Comparable in size to the auxiliary control center the bridge has multiple consoles, with the captain's chair in the center of the bridge, looking out on a fulling glass-like window which surrounds over a quarter of the bridge.^[1] Without shields the bridge is relatively exposed due to being on the top side of the ship, however in the event of the bridge being lost the ship can be run from the auxiliary control center.^[7] Aerial view of Atlantis. ...

Hangar Bays

There are known to be at least 3 hangar bays on-board seemingly big enough to accomodate a single puddle jumper, whether the ship can carry puddle jumpers or other craft remains unknown.^[11] The bays are also large enough to land a wraith dart.^[7]
