The Aubergine Contingency was a stragem intended to ensure the survival of the Aurelian race in the event their worlds faced imminent defeat and destruction.
The Contingency involved a fleet of 30 large warships (and thousands of fighters and bombers) protecting a single Super Carrier containing the most "genetically advanced" members of the Aurelian Heirarchy (a.k.a. 'The Remnant'). If the Aurelian race faced imminent defeat in the Second Aurelian War, they planned to activate a Nova Bomb and blow up their home sun in the Aurelius Maximus system. The Aubergine Contingency Fleet would fleet via Starlock to a far corner of the galaxy and rebuild the Aurelian Race.
The plan was activated in the Solar Year 7337 when a combined Task Force of New Commonwealth, Free Aliance, and Lynx ships launched a Final Assault against Aurelius Maximus.
