[b]Home Universe/Name of Franchise:[/b] [url=https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Stargate_Wiki]Stargate.[/url] [b]Ship Class:[/b] [url=https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Aurora-class_battleship]Aurora-class battleship.[/url] [b]Role:[/b] Warship. [b]Physical Description:[/b] In terms of design, ships of the Aurora-class are visually long and slender, being far longer than they are wide. They possess a light brown hull with accents of dark brown outlining sections at the front and rear of the ships. While the Aurora-class overall appears rather sleek and symmetrical, the hull of the ships appears visually "chunky", being lined with arrays of weapons turrets, reinforcing plates, windows, and other systems. [b]Physical Size (roughly):[/b] In terms of size, ships of the Aurora-class are quite large. For reference, Aurora-class ships are several times longer, taller, and wider than a Tau'ri BC-304, and possess several times the internal space as well. They are far more comparable in size to a Wraith Hive ship, though even still appear smaller. [sub][i]In other words, the Renatus itself is around 3,000m long and 500m in height/depth.[/i][/sub] [b]Armament/Complement (roughly):[/b] Ships of the Aurora-class boast an arsenal of drone weapons which are capable of destroying a Wraith Hive ship in a single salvo and are fired via the use of an onboard control chair. Usually located on the ships primary bridge. The drones themselves are released from a reservoir located on the top middle of the ship. For secondary weaponry, Aurora-class ships feature at least 16 pulse weapon turrets placed around the ship, allowing for complete coverage of the vessel. While these weapons are far less effective than drone weapons, they are still capable of heavily damaging a Wraith Hive ship and destroying a shielded Traveler generational ship after sustained fire. Though the turrets for the pulse weapons appear to be present on all Aurora-class ships, they have predominantly seen use on those Aurora-class ships utilized by the Asurans. [b]History of the Ship:[/b] [hider=Custom]Constructed on the planet Lantea during the height of the Lantean-Wraith War, the Aurora-class battleship Renatus was put under the command of Captain Valtrix Ornus, a cold no nonsense man who had been promoted from his former position of First Officer due to his exemplary service, and tasked by the Council with patrolling the edges of the Lantean system for any sign of Wraith incursions or ships. Not one to shy away from his duties, Valtrix took to the mission with a passion, quickly rooting out any hidden pockets of Wraith resistance and eventually halting their attempts to breach the sector he and his crew had been assigned to completely. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the war progressively grew worse and worse as more Lanteans were either captured or killed. Seeing the hopelessness of the conflict as a whole, Valtrix decided to do the unthinkable... He deserted. Upon coming to the conclusion that continuing to fight in an clearly unwinnable war was not only a waste of time and resources but completely suicidal as well, Valtrix plotted a course to one of their military outposts on a nearby world. One that was mostly cut off from the rest of their civilization. The perfect place to ditch a crew. Especially one that Valtrix suspected would become mutinous once word of his desertion started spreading throughout the ship. After entering the planets icy atmosphere and touching down on its cerulean surface, Valtrix ordered all his crew to disembark and get some rest in the outpost while he stayed behind in the ship, claiming to have some data logs to review. In truth, Valtrix was actually allocating all his resources and priming the ships systems for takeoff, hoping to quietly slip out of the planets atmosphere undetected. It took about an hour, but once all was said and done, Valtrix managed to take off from the outposts docking area without anyone so much as raising an eyebrow. Leaning back in his control chair and allowing his mind to meld with the ships systems, Valtrix and his ship silently sailed across the inky black sea of space, heading ever onward to parts unknown, when a bright flash of light suddenly shone throughout the dark void, slowly engulfing the Renatus and transporting it somewhere else... [/hider] [hr][hr] [hider=Original]It is known that the Lanteans once controlled an entire fleet of Aurora-class battleships, which were used in their war against the Wraith, with many ships equipped with Zero Point Modules. In the end, however, the Lanteans lost the war with most of their ships being destroyed. It is not known if the Aurora-class' were the most powerful vessels in the Lantean fleet other than the City-ship; however it has been implied that the Lantean fleet was more diverse. 10,000 years later, the Atlantis expedition became aware of these ships when they detected the Aurora via Atlantis' Long range sensors. After traveling to the location of the ship with the Daedalus they found the Aurora as a badly damaged vessel floating in space and the crew in stasis, infiltrated by a Wraith. To prevent the ship from falling in the hands of the Wraith, the Captain of Aurora gave Lt. Colonel John Sheppard his code so that he could activate the self-destruct which destroyed the vessel. Later all such ships were designated as Aurora-class battleships in the crew's honor. Sometime later, the Atlantis expedition made contact with the Taranians, who not only discovered a Lantean outpost on their planet but also a hangar with a damaged but repairable Aurora-class ship, named after the Lantean General Hippaforalkus. Since the planet was threatened by a supervolcano, the population was evacuated on the ship, (newly named Orion) which then was repaired enough by Dr. Rodney McKay to escape the catastrophe. Grateful, the Taranians "loaned" the Atlantis expedition the ship, which was then repaired to help fight against the Wraith, which were again on their way to Atlantis. After the Wraith gained access to intergalactic hyperspace technology, the Orion and Daedalus followed and engaged them in a battle at the edge of the Pegasus galaxy. Although the Orion had shields they could not fire Drone weapons until they sacrificed their shields to fire them, taking out one Hive ship in the process. The other Hive ship however quickly responded and destroyed the shieldless Orion. About half a year later the Daedalus, while conducting a test with the new Midway space station, discovered another such ship, traveling at .999 the speed of light. It turned out to be the Lantean warship Tria, which was damaged by the Wraith. The crew of the ship was then evacuated by the Daedalus and brought back to Atlantis. Since the hyperspace engines of the Tria were irreparable, the ship was presumably abandoned in the intergalactic void. The last currently known Aurora-class ship was found by a space traveling human race known as the Travelers. They abducted Sheppard so that he would "help" them activate the ship. After preventing the Wraith from getting the ship, it was repaired by the Travelers. This currently unnamed ship participated in the Battle of Asuras to defeat the Asurans once and for all. According to Katana Labrea, this Aurora-class ship was destroyed along with a Traveler generational ship, and a colony of 3,000 people when a Stargate exploded; an unfortunate side-effect of the Attero device. The Asurans, who were able to duplicate much of Lantean technology, built their own fleet of nearly forty Aurora-class ships, but using older Ancient technology. One was sent to destroy the Asuran copy of Atlantis and the Organic Asuran copy of the First Atlantis Reconnaissance Team and Doctor Elizabeth Weir hitched a ride on it to Asuras. Using a core drive gotten from Niam's faction, the Daedalus and the Apollo were able to launch first strikes against these ships before they could destroy more human worlds. With the two BC-304s upgraded with Asgard plasma beam weapons, these ships were destroyed easily and the rest retreated to Asuras. There they came under attack by a fleet of Tau'ri, Wraith and Traveler ships during an effort to destroy the Asurans once and for all. The Asuran Aurora-class ships were no match for the fleet despite outnumbering it and were easily held off though they did destroy one Hive ship and one Traveler generational ship in the battle before the Asurans were pulled from their ships and into one huge blob of nanites. The ships that survived the battle were destroyed when Asuras exploded. One ship remained under the control of Niam's faction until they asceneded to subspace. The fate of the last remaining Asuran-built Aurora-class battleship remains unknown. [/hider] [b]Notable Crew:[/b][list][*]Chief Gunner Elo Narati - [b]{STATUS UNKNOWN}[/b].
