History
The USS Aurora was launched into active service in January of 2256 from the San Francisco Fleet Yards.

In mid-2256, during the testing of the ship's spore drive, before the ship was about to attempt its first long distance spore jump, unknown to the crew at the time, an agent working for the Orion Syndicate had been able to get onto the crew manifest and plant an explosive inside the spore chamber.

As the crew went to black alert and the spore drive started to activate, the security officer detected an explosive device in the spore chamber and as he alerted engineering, the ship spore jumped and the explosive detonated. Because of the explosion, the spores became displaced. Although the explosion occured, killing many of the engineers, the spore jump still happened but instead of jumping in space the Aurora jumped 154 years into the future to the year 2410.
