The SA-23E Mitchell-Hyundyne Aurora class Starfury is a single-seat, non-atmospheric attack fighter*, utilized by Earthforce ships and installations for short range defense operations, a position it has served faithfully since it first went into service in early 2244*.

Of all the fighters in the known universe, the Starfury is the predominant fighter of all the younger races, excluding the Minbari*. Combining superior agility with a massive weapons payload, the Starfury can outgun and out-fly almost any fighter craft imaginable.

A standard Starfury is some 9.56 meters* (31.38 feet) long from nose to tail, 17.87 meters* (58.63 feet) from side to side, and 8.08 meters* (26.52 feet) from top to bottom. This figure takes into account the size of the ship, including the fighters rear jet foils.
