Traveler Aurora-class battleship

"I'm assuming you recognize the technology? It's a Lantean battleship. It's been dormant for thousands of years, and you're gonna help me get it operational again."

- Larrin to John Sheppard

The Traveler's Aurora-class battleship was an Ancient ship commandeered by the Travelers 10,000 after the Lantean-Wraith war.

History
10,000 years ago, this Aurora-class ship was attacked by the Wraith. In the ensuing battle, the ship lost communications and the shields failed. The engines were damaged as well but the Ancients managed to escape into hyperspace. However, when they realized that the ship's main drive was giving off deadly radiation, they were forced to abandon ship with the vain intention of returning to effect repairs. Since that event, the ship lay dormant drifting through space in the Pegasus galaxy for ten thousand years until it was eventually discovered by the Travelers in a two hundred year elliptical orbit around a nearby dwarf star.

Traveler use
In 2007, the Travelers were still attempting to fully reactivate the ship. However, as the Travelers lack the ATA gene required to opperate Ancient technology, this process was slow going, despite attempting several work-arounds. While they themselves did not posses the Ancient gene, they knew that there was at least one race in the galaxy which did, the Tau'ri members of the Atlantis Expedition. To this end, they kidnapped John Sheppard with the intention of having him initialize the ship's systems as to finish an adapter allowing them to use Ancient technology, reverse-engineered from the systems Sheppard had initialized.

Battle of Asuras
In 2008, this ship took part in the final battle of the Asuran-Tau'ri-Wraith war over the Asuran homeworld. After discovering John Sheppard's Puddle Jumper flying through space, Larrin, the ship's commander, brought him aboard and soon discovered the Atlantis Expedition's plan to destroy the replicators. After being convinced to take part in the battle, the ship was then flown to M35-117. From there, after a brief briefing on the mission, Larrin piloted the ship, escorted by the Daedalus and Apollo, to the rendezvous point where they met up with seven Wraith Hive Ships and five Traveler generational ships. After their arrival, the fleet jumped into hyperspace.

In the ensuing battle, among taking other actions, this Aurora-class ship destroyed an Asuran-controlled Aurora-class ship with a fairly large salvo of drone weapons fired by John Sheppard, who was manning the ship's control chair. After the battle, the ship returned to the rendezvous and then M35-117. After parting with Larrin, Sheppard was then beamed off the ship and to Atlantis by one of Earth's 304s, and this Aurora-class ship, presumably, left orbit by entering hyperspace.

Destruction
Later in 2008, this ship was destroyed in the massive explosion on the new Traveler colony when the planet's Stargate exploded due to the Vanir's activation of the Attero device.
