TOS "The Way to Eden" The Aurora miniature was a modification of the Tholian ship from TOS "The Tholian Web". Star Trek Encyclopedia II An explanation of the strange original version look of the Aurora was attempted in the Star Trek Maps, which stated: "Space cruisers like the S.S. Aurora have been in use for over a century, and are based on a Vulcan design originally used for interplanetary travel. Essentially a 21-meter-long space yacht, space cruisers have a range of several dozen parsecs and can carry provisions for up to six passengers and crew." The diagram, appearing on Chart B, depicts the Aurora with a registry of NCC-C1200, and a nacelle-style more akin to those found on a Class F shuttlecraft.

STARSHIP NAME	REGISTRY NUMBER
S.S. Aurora	NC-17740

	History:
	According to Michael Okuda, the CGI Aurora is a slight modification of the Class J CGI model, with larger engines and new windows. The registry NC-17740 on the nacelles, illegible on screen, was the tail number from Matt Jefferies' 1935 Waco YOC biplane. Additionally, the CGI Aurora is very similar to Jefferies' original 'teardrop' exterior design for the Class F shuttlecraft. Text from the Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
