Design
The Aurora's purpose is to deliver a new hull and system against overwhelming enemies. She is designed to take out enemy capital ships with proton torpedo and turbolaser salvos and avoid the Executor's fate with the quad laser turrets. Her appearance is that of a scaled- down Super Star Destroyer, with two engines on either side of the "dagger" handle. The command tower is modified and set up in a delta form with the standard generator domes at the aft angles. A flag bridge is located between the domes with other command sections within the thin, triangular structure
The proton torpedo octet is in and of itself simply eight torpedo tubes mounted in two, four-tube squares on either side of a turntable. The projectiles can be launched either at once, or sequentially. The battery itself is controlled inside the turntable, where the crew and commander are situated. The primary disadvantage of the torpedo octet is that after all eight missiles have been fired, the weapon must return to standard position, perpendicular with the primary hull, to be reloaded. The reloader is an automatic injector system which pushes the projectiles up through the turntable and into their respective breeches.
In addition to the torpedo batteries of the ASD, fifty heavy turbolasers are positioned on the dorsal and ventral hull and along each flank trench. Ten quad turbolaser cannons are positioned along the dorsal and ventral spines while the ten ion cannons are set on the prow, five to each flanking trench. Twenty five quad laser cannons offer anti-fighter and anti-projectile defense. These are spread over the hull, leaving no arch uncovered.
The Aurora-class Star Destroyer has three ventral launch bays, one on either side of the ventral ridge for fighter deployment, and one slightly fore on the ridge itself for shuttle, blastboat, and troop deployment. The internal Hanger can hold 72 Tie series star fighter. Each rack was designed to hold TIE/D defenders, but as of yet production of the elite fighter is slow, and TIE/i Interceptors fill the racks of most ASD's
History
The prototype ASD was less powerful than the production line. The Aurora prototype was a modified Imperial I-class with much of its hull stripped away. It was little more than a heavily shielded weapons platform. The ship was the first ship to equip the heavy torpedo octet launcher. After a very successful test cycle, the design went back to the drawing board to build a ship around its main weapon.
