History:
The NSS Aurora is an Exodus class research station, one of two in its class, both stationed within Tau Ceti in differing orbits of Biesel. The stations are specially equipped to conduct research on the recently discovered substance known as Plasma. >> See File Referance: VM0823JV2H34 << As part of its service overhaul the NSS Aurora is being periodically refitted to differ from the NSS Exodus to allow differing specialist research into plasma.

Currently fitted with a Gravitational Singularity Drive the NSS Aurora is also designated for futher research into the Supermatter engine and is due for an upgrade to include a secondary, back-up, Gas Turbine engine allowing for research into the use of gaseous plasma as a fuel for a turbine engine.

Departments:
The current iteration of the NSS Aurora research station is split into various departments to add a full spectrum of jobs to ensure the smooth running and habitation of the station over long and short durations.

Security - Brig, checkpoint, prison wing.
Research - Research Labs, Outposts, office space
Medical - Infirmary, operating theater, cloning lab, chemistry lab, virology lab
Cargo - Shuttle Dock, mining outpost
Engineering - Engines, Atmospherics, Maintenance Equipment
Civillian - Command, Bar, Diner, Multi-Faith Room, Library
