- ECM
- Electronic Counter-measures
- EM
- Electromagnetic. Used for EM sensors, EM signature, etc
- GB Engine
- See FAC Engine
- GB
- Gunboat. Another term used for Fast Attack Craft (FAC)
- GC
- Gauss Canon ?
- FAC
- Fast Attack Craft. In Aurora terms, usually used to refer to a small spacecraft of about 500-1000 tons that is equipped with a Fast Attack Craft Engine. Sometimes called a Gunboat
- FAC Engine
- Sometimes referred to as a GB Engine. This is a high-powered engine that has double the normal output but uses 10x fuel. Only one can be mounted on a spacecraft
- FC
- Fire Control
- GFTF
- Ground Forces Training Facility
- HS
- Hull Space. Ships are measured in hull spaces, which are 50 tons each. So a size 100 ship is 5000 tons.
- HTK
- Hits to Kill: How much damage is required to automatically destroy a ship system. If less damage than the HTK rating is inflicted, the chance of destruction is damage/HTK.
- IFR
- Incremental Failure Rate. This is the chance of a system failure on a ship during a 5-day increment. On the Ship Summary it shows the current IFR based on the ship's maintenance clock. On the Class Summary it shows the failure rate for a ship with one year on the clock.
- JP
- Jump point. Occasionally referred to as Warp Point
- LP
- Lagrange Point. An intra-system jump point found in the L5 lagrange point of super-jovians or massive gas giants (about sixty degrees behind the planet in its orbit)
- MSP
- Missile Size Point. The way in which the size of missiles, or the amount of space deciated to missile components, is usually described. 1 hull space (50 tons) is equal to 20 MSP. 1 MSP is equal to 1/20th of a hull space, or about 2.5 tons.
- MSP
- Maintenance Supply Point. MSP are used by ships to fix maintenance failures and carry out repairs.
- NPR
- Non-player Race. A computer-controlled Empire
- PD
