Tech Room Description
The standard fighter for the Earth Alliance, the StarFury, boasts a unique design in which large engine pods are mounted on to the ends of each wing. This design gives the StarFury incredible maneuvering capability that is beat only by fighters employing a gravimetric propulsion system. The Aurora class StarFury has good acceleration and mounts two pulse cannons. The ship can also be modified to carry several missiles on the wings. StarFuries can be launched from heavy cruisers, corvettes, as well as destroyers and larger vessels. They are not atmospheric capable fighters.

An average fighter, without any particularly notable strengths or weaknesses. The infamous maneuverability isn't really reflected in its stats as that, too, is merely average. One nice thing about the Aurora is its EA Venom missiles, which can do loads of damage when placed correctly, but are difficult to use. The 40mm Pulse has a low power drain, allowing you to fire for longer periods of time than with most other fighters.
