<br />
The [[StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries|RSI]] '''Aurora ES''' (also known as the '''Essential''') is the most common "starter ship" for new flyers across the galaxy. The [[StarCitizen:Aurora ES]] boasts a rugged base construction along with ample room for upgrades. Each ship of the [[StarCitizen:Aurora]] series is specialized in some way, but the '''Essential''' is a true "jack-of-all-trades" for the enterprising pilot.<br />
