On the other hand you have a fighter that is as fast as the Perseus, but with six guns and 10 more shields. You'd be better off taking a Perseus to a dogfight, but the Aurora can hold its own.

CoW Tech Room Description
The Aurora is a heavily adapted variant of the Perseus and the old Valkyrie class interceptors. Although similar in performance - albeit slightly faster -the Aurora is purpose built to use 30% less hanger space - extremely useful for the cramped Agamenmon fighterbay.

Veteran Comments
Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.
It flies like the Perseus, even a little better, but the Aurora has a noticeable drop in durability. While not made of cardboard and glue like a Serapis, the Aurora is not quite the perfect blend of speed, maneuverability, and durability that the Perseus is.
However, it has six guns, which makes it a credible next-generation interceptor fighter. I dare go as far as calling it a space superiority.
