Some species of unique lifeforms inhabit the Aurora's surroundings and interior, providing further obstacles for stopping the radiation leak. The [[Reaper Leviathan]] is the first line of defense, and can instantly kill a player outside of a submarine, making swimming in without aid extremely difficult. The second line of defense are Cave Crawlers. They populate the ship's interior and, in the future, will be aggressive. These lifeforms are mainly there to protect the various supply crates on the hull. |

The Aurora is a habitation ship sent to the planet for a terraforming mission before colony ships arrive. However, during its descent, the Aurora was struck by a mysterious energy pulse resulting in catastrophic hull failure, leading to its crash landing on the surface of the planet. A single escape pod was launched before impact, which contained the unconscious player character. The ship's wreckage is surrounded by harmful radiation.
The energy pulse impact and the following crash also resulted in large quantities of scrap metal, fragments, and a few supply crates falling off and being dispersed in the vicinity of the ship. There is an area near the tail end of the Aurora known as the Scrapyards. It is a long, flat stretch of sand littered with huge amounts of scrap metal and salt. It can be very useful for players needing materials for food or titanium.
Exploring the Aurora
The developers are currently working on making the wreckage of the ship explorable, as can be seen here. The wreckage will be explorable with the upcoming update, which will be published at the end of April.
After the explosion of the Aurora, the player is able to explore the Aurora, but only if equipped with a radiation suit. By going up a ramp in the torn up front section of the Aurora, the player can enter a corridor that leads inside the ship. To the right of the T-section, there is a door which is blocked off by rubble. By following the corridor to the left down the slope, the player can enter the generator room .
Generator Room
Inside the generator room lie four large generators. They are connected by catwalks, though some are underwater and heavily damaged. On the generators are breaches resembling hull breaches. The player's objective is to repair them using the Welder. Repairing the breaches restores the radiation levels to normal.
The devs plan on adding an exosuit fragment to the generator room[1]. It's possible that this will be the only fragment of this type available to players. Bleeder's can also be found here in the water around the generators.
