4 Assault Shuttles
2 Skipray Blastboats

25 Quad lasers with fast-tracking sensor systems
75 proton torpedo tubes [one post to load, one post to fire, one post to reload]
40 turbolaser batteries
6 ion cannon
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 salvoes and avoid 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 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.
After a salvo, the launcher must be brought to station keeping, and then retrainined. That process takes three minutes. (((OOC, only one torpedo salvo can be made per post. When being used to track and engage fighters, one must use good judgement.)))
The octets ability to track and engage fighters stems froma modified Imperial Battle Computer, redesigned and remodeled after those of the Imperial Torpedo Sphere,s who's computers had the ability to track thousands of objects and find the weakness of each one and exploit it. This was only useable against shields and capital ships. Hence the modification. The computer now can track up to two hundred moving objects of a fighter-size.
Each octet has one such computer. They can be linked through a super computer, dedicated and unconnected with other systems except for the bridge relay conduits. All together, they can track the movements and actions of eight hundred fighters simultaneously. Against capital ships, some of the octet computers can be switched, or they can rely on bridge trajectory.
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.
Note This R&D has been approved twice already, once by Kanbal, and then again for resubmission, but was scrapped when TJE left the first time. Therefore I am simply reposting the approved stats.
