The Aurora was a Federation civilian craft in operation during the mid-23rd century, also described as a "space cruiser".
In 2269, the Aurora was stolen by Dr. Sevrin and his followers in search for the mythical planet Eden. Consequently, it was pursued by the USS Enterprise. When the Aurora approached the Romulan Neutral Zone in an attempt to evade pursuit, Captain Kirk deemed it necessary to tractor in the ship.
In response, the crew of the Aurora pushed the ship to its limit, causing its engines to seriously overheat. The vessel was destroyed as the Enterprise transported the vessel's compliment of six aboard.
The Aurora model was a modification of the Tholian starship from "The Tholian Web", with added warp nacelles and flown in "reverse".
An explanation of the strange look of the Aurora was attempted in the non-canon Star Trek Maps. Chart B shows a drawing of the Aurora and the caption states that she was a ship of Vulcan design.
