Overview

Rarely the traveler in the Ooniverse has the chance to spot the mighty Aurora Megacruiser. With a length of 4.3 kilometers and about 800 meters in height it really is a mobile world capable of supporting 500,000 souls in a standard setting. Transportation takes place by high speed people/alien movers. The Aurora surprisingly does not support a public ship dock. The dock masters of the Aurora want to know exactly who is on board. The waiting list for a place on one of the Ooniverses' 100 Auroras is almost 10 years.


Facilities

On board the passengers are treated with a wealth of facilities. From shopping malls to hospitals, a public central park, botanic gardens and hotels. Passengers travel for more than a year on the ship. In its travels it takes passengers to all the 8 galaxies.


Engines

4 GASEC SR-GD's (Space Rotary Galactic Drive) take the ship to 0.24 LM which is quite fast for such a large ship but hence we are talking about engines with a 200 meter wide engine tube.

Safety

It's a safe ship but it still can be nuked or Q-bombed (energy=3500) so expect it to be escorted by quite a large fleet. In case of an emergency a large lifeboat fleet can evacuate the richest passengers.
