Description

The Dilern Regime had the Aurora spacecraft as one of its primary assault crafts in their initial invasion into the Empire and in the Great War against Lish.

Now they've commercialized it, allowing it to be equipped with lasers and selling it on the open market. These fighters are extremely versatile and carry an assortment of avionics that make ships twice its size look bad, including the Jil'ge gravity wave detector.

Like all Dilernian ships it's quite muscular with thick armour and lots of guns, but is somewhat lacking in speed and maneuverability.

Critics say that Dilernian ships are not worth their huge cost compared to similar ships by other manufacturers but a lot of pilots would beg to differ when this ship is concerned, where the rust bucket saved their skins by refusing to give up.
