Aurora 4x Wiki

Aurora is a freeware, 4X space simulation game, designed by Steve Walmsley and released in 2004. Difficult to learn and slow to play, this is a game well-suited to people who like deep strategy and don't mind a non-optimized UI. It is constantly being updated and the latest version is v2.7.1.

Credit to most of the content (if not all) on this Wiki and the fact it can come together at all is due to Alsadius and their excellent work.
