A silicone-based mysterious life-form, that was discovered on now destroyed planet. Very little is actually known about aurorite. Is it sentient? Can it manipulate energy and matter in the ways human science is yet to discover? What we know, is that it's crystals can be easily grown and used in for wide number of applications - from ship control systems to brain-enhancing implants. The most impressive property of this material is it's capability to learn and communicate. Number of crystals in the vicinity can form a swarm-like network, greatly enhancing cognitive capabilities. It seems that in it's natural state aurorite was a symbiont to carbon-based life-forms, capable to include their brains in their computational networks.
