Aurora

The Aurora was a cargo ship operating in the 52nd century, originally under the control of a crew of archeologists searching for Ukihashi, the tombship of Empress Hoshiko. The pirate captain Mia Raiman and her crew managed to commandeer the Aurora by faking a distress call before marooning the archeologists.
== History ==
The Doctor reveals the tomb ship is part of Hoshiko's death ritual to be reborn as a star in a supernova, where the last remnants of the virus destroyed. The ship was enroute to an uninhabited star system, where a sun has gone supernova, but the Grievers, refusing to die, have set the tomb ship off course, meaning the ship will never reach the supernova and the virus will remain, giving the Doctor his own urgent motivation to reach the tomb. There he can access the navigation controls and steer the tomb ship back into deep space, before it goes supernova and destroys this system's inhabitants. After reaching the controls, The Doctor tried tried to change the ship's course but the autopilot system was damaged by a Griever, meaning it would have to be piloted manually into the supernova. The Doctor resigned himself to his fate, insitting the others leave in the TARDIS, instead Mia refuses and sacrifices herself by piloting the tombship into a supernova.
