- EM
- Electromagnetic. Used for EM sensors, EM signature, etc.
- GB Engine
- See FAC Engine.
- GB
- Gunboat. Another term used for Fast Attack Craft (FAC).
- 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.
- GFTF
- Ground Forces Training Facility.
- 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).
- NPR
- Non-player Race. A computer-controlled Empire.
- PDC
- Planetary Defence Centre. A base on a planetary surface. Designed in the Class Design window in a similar way to a ship. The difference is that the Type dropdown (middle top) is set to PDC instead of Ship. Built by industry rather than Shipyards.
- SM
