Population

The Auroran population numbers in the trillions; most planets have at least one arcology that can house tens of millions of people, and the "homeworlds" of the six different Auroran factions each average a population of around 175 billion.

Arcology is a term invented by architect Paolo Soleri, and is a portmanteau of architecture and ecology. ...


Politics and Culture

The Auroran Empire consists of five "Families" or "Houses" (Moash, Heeran, Tekel, Dani and Vella). Each of the five families fight with each other constantly.

Their warriors love to tattoo themselves and engage in "honorable" combat, and their ships have very heavy armor. The Auroran weapons are very heavy but they deal a lot of damage. You can help the Aurorans by either passing through the Bounty Hunter storyline, or have a high combat rating and go into any bar in Auroran space.
