History[]

In some point of the Lantean-Wraith War, the Aurora fought a battle against the Wraith and the front part of the ship was destroyed. The crew had been put into stasis. 10,000 years later, in an unknown date, the ship was located and infiltrated by the Wraith (who led them to believe that they had never put themselves in stasis) in an attempt to learn the location of Earth and gain access to intergalactic hyperdrives.

Counting Aurora crew stasis pods

The Aurora contained hundreds of stasis pods for the crew to inhabit during extremely extended journeys or in the event that life support failed. Within the pods was a vast network where each user could connect themselves to an artificial reality. This reality was directly linked to the ship's real-world computer database; changes could be made, and files even deleted, from within the artificial world.

However, soon later, Atlantis city sensors located the Aurora and a team from the city boarded it. The ship was destroyed when Colonel John Sheppard was given self-destruct codes by the Captain of Aurora after he realized that he and his crew were beyond help. With the destruction of the ship, two Wraith cruisers were destroyed too. This prevented them from reporting Atlantis's survival to the rest of the Wraith, who believed it had been destroyed.

When the team returned to Atlantis, they commemorated the Aurora's captain and crew for sacrificing their lives to save their own. (SGA: "Aurora")

The Aurora mission reports were later stolen from Atlantis by Nightwind's faction using a computer virus, allowing her to upgrade the hyperdrive on her hive ships for her attempt to reach Earth, effectively accomplishing goals of the Wraith's original mission to infiltrate the Lantean warship. (SGA: "Allies", "No Man's Land")

    Some issues of The DVD Collection magazine are known to contain errors with respect to the dimensions they provide for spaceships. Dimensions for the same class of ship may vary between issues. The dimensions given in an issue may contradict how the ship visually appears on screen. The dimensions of two ships which appear similarly sized on screen may be given different measurements in The DVD Collection magazines. However, as the DVD Collection Magazines are officially licensed by MGM (and thus considered canon) Stargate Wiki includes them, while noting the apparent discrepancies in instances where they occur. See policy and List of spaceships by size for more information.
