}}{{Note|'''Note:''' The '''Aurora Mk I''' is ceasing production and the '''Essential''' will only be available until the 30th of September, 2956.}}

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.
==Features==
{{List item
|Affordability
|It is marketed as an entry-level spacecraft with a lower price point making it one of the more common vehicles found in the [[StarCitizen:UEE|United Empire of Earth]].
}}
{{List item|Bed|The designers at Roberts Space Industries managed to fit a bed in the center of the craft, allowing you to rest on those longer journeys.
}}
{{List item
|Weapons
|The ES comes fitted with two size 1 guns at the front of the ship as well as two more hard-points under the wings if you wish to install more. It also has a size 2 missile hard-point on top (comes with two size 1 missiles as standard).
