This seems new This article contains information that is updated for the latest Experimental Version of Subnautica. Players using stable mode may find this information inaccurate. |
The Aurora is a spacecraft sent to the Ariadne Arm by Alterra Corporation in order to a build a phasegate. However, a secondary mission, unknown to most crew, was to search for and if possible, rescue the survivors of the Degasi.
During its descent on Planet 4546B, it was struck by a mysterious energy pulse resulting in catastrophic hull failure, leading to its crash landing on the surface of the planet. Lifepods were launched before impact and several survived. One of them, Lifepod 5, contained the player.
By the time the player awakens and begins exploration of the area, all of the other Lifepods have been destroyed. As the containment field has failed, the ship's wreckage is surrounded by Radiation.
The crash resulted in large quantities of Metal Salvage and Supply Crates being dispersed within the vicinity of the ship. It can be very useful for users needing materials for food or Titanium.

Exploring the Aurora
Over the course of several in-game days, the ship's computer announces imminent containment failure, eventually leading to a ten second countdown and a gigantic explosion. The in-game timer will begin either when the user starts a new game, or updates and reloads an old save.
The explosion is focused towards the forward section of the ship.
Only after the explosion is the player able to explore inside the Aurora, and only if equipped with a Radiation Suit. Fire and dripping molten steel can injure the player, and periodic shaking of the hull occurs. Further dangers are posed by the Reaper Leviathans that spawn around the ship, and the Cave Crawlers that litter the entrance area of the ship.
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. On the way up, the user can find several supply crates with crafted items inside of them. The door leading to the T-section is partially blocked off by fire. Fortunately, there are a few Fire Extinguishers lying around, which can come in handy. When the player walks in, to the left will be a sign that says Sign_Aurora_Airlocks. This is most likely a placeholder.
To the right of the T-section, there is a door which is blocked off by fire. The left corridor leads to the "Cargo Bay 3". The right door leads to "Administration". These rooms are indicated by signs on the Aurora itself. The administration office has a Data Terminal with a downloadable log titled "Alterra Launches the Aurora". The Office also contains Shelves, a Desk, and a Prawn Suit poster, which can be taken. It also contains an Abandoned PDA with a Data Download under the headline "Essential Life Things", which will give the player the code "1454".
If the player goes down the left corridor, there is rubble blocking the entrance to Cargo Bay 3. The Propulsion Cannon and Repulsion Cannon can move these out of the way. There is then a locked door with a keypad that can be interacted with. Entering the code 1454 from the previously mentioned Data Download into the keypad will open the door. The Cargo Bay is a large area full of Cargo Containers, Supply Crates, and a few other miscellaneous things.
There is a cargo elevator in the cargo bay, which is stuck halfway.
Following the ramp down, there is then an underwater section which leads to a T corridor. To the left, there will be a Sealed Door. To the right, there is a room called the "Seamoth Bay". The door to this room is locked, but there is a damaged panel which the Welder can repair. When this panel is repaired, the door is unlocked, and the player can enter. The Seamoth Bay contain many pieces of a damaged Seamoth, which can be scanned.
Going through the Sealed Door will lead the player into a locker room. Some of the lockers are open and have loot inside. There is an Abandoned PDA with a Data Download titled "Sweet Offer". It will give the player the code "1869".
Leaving the locker room, there will be a sign labeled "Prawn Suit Bay". This is the location where the Prawn Suit Fragments will be found in the near future. The door to this room is locked, and like before, has a panel that needs to be repaired. Once the door is unlocked the player can proceed into the room. This room has multiple Prawn Suits hanging from the ceiling, presumably waiting to be deployed. To the right is a pile of rubble with broken Prawn Suit Fragments and other miscellaneous things piled on top of each other. Next to that is a ramp blocked off by fire and rubble. Once those are cleared, there is a door that leads to the "Living Quarters".
The Living Quarters are various rooms that provided living conditions for the various crew and passengers on the ship. If the player goes right, there is a room filled with Filtered Water and Nutrient Blocks. If the player goes left, there is a galley. There are Bar Tables and Chairs lying on the ground, along with a few handy supply crates. There is a Vending Machine to the left, and a "Keep Calm" poster.
At the front end of the corridor, there are sleeping quarters for the people on board. There are beds, a "Natural Selection 2" poster, and a few lockers. To the left there is another corridor, with 2 locked doors. One of the doors is unlocked by the code in the log named "Sweet Offer". In this room a Cap and an Arcade Gorge Toy can be found.
Backtrack to the T corridor from earlier, and this time, go straight. This will lead to the Drive Room.
Drive Room
Inside the Drive Room are four large generators. They are connected by catwalks, though some are underwater and heavily damaged. The generators are covered in breaches and the player's objective is to repair them using the Welder. Repairing the breaches removes the radiation entirely after three in-game days.
When entering the generator room, the PDA warns the player that radiation is at maximum tolerable levels. In the future, when the breaches are repaired the player will get the Aurora's Blackbox data.
The Power Upgrade Module for the Cyclops can also be found in the Drive Room. It sticks out from the upgrade console at the center of the room. Bleeders can also be found in the water around the generators. There is a tunnel through the ship's hull that starts inside the Drive Room and leads outside the Aurora.
