AURA COMMAND SUITE
FOUR APPLICATIONS. ONE CONNECTED JOURNEY.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Command the galaxy. Know what comes next.

Built for Elite Dangerous commanders, the AURA Command Suite transforms live flight data into focused tools for intelligence, awareness, discovery, and community telemetry.

Each application has its own mission. Together, they form a connected command ecosystem designed to keep the Commander firmly in control.
​


01 // AURA
CMDR COMPANION — INTERPRET

An adaptive, local-first command deck that brings your journey into one operational picture. AURA supports live journal intelligence, system analysis, route planning, engineering, exobiology, ship and on-foot builds, galactic news, and remembered Commander context.

Less searching. Less uncertainty. A clearer view of what comes next.

02 // VEIL
CMDR OVERLAY — OBSERVE

A passive, context-aware HUD built to keep essential information within sight. VEIL tracks navigation, ship and surface state, colony logistics, on-foot activity, exploration value, and optional AURA guidance without taking attention away from the cockpit.

Quiet when you do not need it. Ready when you do.

► EXPLORE VEIL | Microsoft Store


──────────────────────────────────────


03 // XENO_X
XENOLOGICAL STARGUIDE — DISCOVER

A living navigation and research array for the galaxy’s most extraordinary records. Search, study, project, and target sourced Thargoid, Guardian, Titan, and Radicoida locations through a purpose-built xenological interface.

Unknown signals become coordinates. Coordinates become expeditions.

► EXPLORE XENO_X | Microsoft Store


──────────────────────────────────────


04 // SDR
STELLAR DATA RELAY — CONTRIBUTE

A transparent, Commander-controlled telemetry uplink. SDR filters supported journal events locally and, only when live mode is explicitly enabled, relays approved public telemetry to the Elite Dangerous Data Network.

Your flight. Your controls. Your contribution to the galaxy.

THE SUITE IS NOW IN OPEN BETA FOR WINDOWS

AURA interprets. VEIL observes. XENO_X discovers. SDR relays.

Made by Commanders. Built for the journey.

AURA COMMAND SUITE // VERSION 3
THE NEXT GENERATION OF COMMAND INTELLIGENCE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Four applications. One evolving command ecosystem.

Version 3 introduces a unified visual language, richer live intelligence, stronger connections between applications, and a new generation of cinematic command interfaces.

Every part of the suite has evolved—but the mission remains unchanged:

Give Commanders clearer information while keeping them firmly in control.

◆ VERSION 3 SIGNAL ACQUIRED ◆
​


01 // AURA 3.0
THE COMMAND INTELLIGENCE EVOLVES

AURA Version 3 introduces a redesigned command environment, a stronger live-data foundation, and more resilient intelligence throughout the Commander journey.

NEW COMMAND INTERFACE
  • A fully standardized Oxanium typography system across displays, controls, labels, and operational readouts.
  • New clipped HUD shells inspired by the wider AURA Command Suite design language.
  • An expanded theme collection, including new Ghostline spectrum variants.
  • A redesigned neural identity, cinematic opening sequence, and refined AURA portrait presentation.

LIVE-DATA FOUNDATION
  • Runtime intelligence catalogs for ships, modules, commodities, engineers, and services.
  • Clear LIVE, STALE, MEMORY, CATALOG, and UNAVAILABLE source states.
  • Event-driven shared refresh for faster updates, with recovery polling retained as a fallback.
  • Per-domain freshness, observation time, data limits, and rejection-reason reporting.
  • Improved journal indexing and responsiveness for Commanders with large journal libraries.

NAVIGATION & SURVEY INTELLIGENCE
  • Persistent selected, plotting, and plotted destination states.
  • Permit warnings, guarded targeting, and destination cancellation controls.
  • Expanded System Map intelligence and improved live reconciliation.
  • New exobiology opportunity guidance and possible first-footfall advisories.
  • Experimental Thargoid heart-targeting support.

SECURITY & RELIABILITY
  • A secure, authenticated localhost companion link for VEIL.
  • Stronger desktop security policies, validated automation inputs, and request boundaries.
  • Backend recovery progress and liveness monitoring with automatic recovery safeguards.
  • Privacy-safe support bundle export through AURA Diagnostics.

AURA 3.0 is faster, clearer, more resilient, and more connected to the journey around it.

02 // VEIL 3.0
PASSIVE INTELLIGENCE // REFORGED

VEIL Version 3 expands the overlay into a more adaptive, connected, and cinematic flight-intelligence system.

THREE DATA MODES
  • LOCAL // OFFLINE — Reads only Elite’s local journal and status files.
  • ONLINE // SPANSH — Adds public current-system and next-system catalog intelligence.
  • AURA LINK — Connects every panel to AURA through an authenticated, localhost-only handshake.

FLIGHT WATCH
  • A new top-level Flight Watch strip for FSD charging, urgent ship conditions, suit warnings, and destination intelligence.
  • Next-system reports now distinguish publicly recorded bodies from bodies missing individual catalog records.
  • Improved stellar warnings for neutron stars, white dwarfs, and non-scoopable destinations.

AURA LIVE INTELLIGENCE
  • Expanded AURA portrait presentation and linked speech display.
  • Separate transmission and alert readouts for clearer live guidance.
  • Possible first-footfall advisories for promising landable exobiology worlds.

INTERFACE & DISPLAY UPGRADES
  • A complete Oxanium interface and SDR-inspired panel redesign.
  • Cinematic startup and staggered HUD panel warm-up sequences.
  • Automatic, 1080p, 1440p, 4K, ultrawide, and custom panel-sizing options.
  • Separate sizing and content-density controls.
  • Expanded AURA theme catalog with improved theme persistence.
  • Simplified tray controls and a more capable Settings command center.

VEIL 3.0 stays out of the way—until the moment its intelligence matters.

03 // XENO_X 3.0
A NEW GENERATION OF XENOLOGICAL DISCOVERY

XENO_X Version 3 transforms the StarGuide into a cinematic xenological command deck with deeper survey intelligence and a completely redesigned System Projection.

CINEMATIC STAR CHART
  • A redesigned System Projection built as a cinematic, interactive star chart.
  • Expanded celestial layouts with improved stellar, planetary, ringed-world, Titan, and Radicoida presentation.
  • Preserved native celestial silhouettes with improved artwork scaling and visibility.
  • New projection breadcrumbs, legends, navigation controls, and fit-to-view zoom.

SPANSH XENO SURVEY
  • Per-planet Guardian and Thargoid signal intelligence.
  • Named ruins, structures, beacons, barnacles, spire sites, wrecks, matrices, and other indexed locations.
  • Secondary contacts, unresolved SAA signals, and available surface coordinates.
  • Detailed inspection for each surveyed body without inventing missing site classifications.

COMMAND WORKFLOW
  • Docked Xeno Survey and selected-contact dossier panels.
  • System sorting, favorites, favorites-only filtering, and improved location browsing.
  • Persistent window geometry and interface state across interactions.
  • Command, Compact, and Target Bar layouts remain available.
  • Optional guarded Elite Galaxy Map targeting remains Commander-controlled.

INTERFACE EVOLUTION
  • A new cinematic startup sequence and complete Version 3 interface overhaul.
  • The complete 31-theme AURA visual collection.
  • New interface scale, information-density, contrast, motion, and performance controls.
  • Improved state preservation while navigating contacts and projections.

XENO_X 3.0 turns catalog records into destinations—and destinations into expeditions.

04 // SDR 3.0
THE STELLAR DATA RELAY COMES ONLINE

SDR Version 3 gives the suite’s telemetry utility a cinematic new identity while strengthening its privacy filtering, queue enforcement, and operational clarity.

CINEMATIC RELAY CHAMBER
  • A new state-driven relay chamber that responds to SDR’s current operating condition.
  • Animated packet transmissions, privacy-shield states, and a cinematic startup sequence.
  • Clearer separation between dry-run monitoring, queued packets, active transmission, and relay problems.

UNIFIED AURA INTERFACE
  • Locally bundled Oxanium typography across controls, telemetry, and packet previews.
  • An expanded AURA theme catalog, including the Ghostline spectrum collection.
  • An independently scrollable theme selector that keeps the relay deck visible.
  • Improved long theme labels, active-profile indicators, and responsive layouts.
  • Enhanced reduced-motion support.

PRIVACY & RELAY RELIABILITY
  • Improved privacy filtering before supported public telemetry can enter the relay queue.
  • Stronger retry-queue policy enforcement.
  • Transparent packet previews and clearer transmission-state feedback.
  • Dry-run mode remains the default: SDR sends nothing until Live Mode is explicitly enabled.

SDR 3.0 makes every approved transmission visible, deliberate, and Commander-controlled.

⚠ PLEASE UPDATE BEFORE REPORTING A BUG

Before posting a bug report, please make sure you are using the most current available build of AURA—and the latest VEIL build if your report involves the overlay.

A quick check helps everyone:

  • Install the latest available AURA and VEIL releases.
  • Restart both applications after updating.
  • Confirm the issue still occurs in the current build.
  • Include your AURA and VEIL version numbers in your report.

Still seeing the problem? Please post it! Screenshots, reproduction steps, and a brief description of what you expected will help us investigate quickly.

Thank you for helping us keep AURA and VEIL stable, polished, and improving for every Commander. 💜

Very excited with a small update that will be rolling in the next day or 2... It's not a new panel, theme or even button... I have taken the time to over double the lines and variations that AURA can now interpret and comment on. This small update also includes expanded astral body awareness and reactions so stay tuned!

On a side note... I will be releasing a couple comedic dev logs later tonight for those interested and will post em here ;) <3
 
What turned into a small update has become an all out bug-o-busting session. Colonia material trader normalization sucks if you don't know there is a problem there in the beginning... ;) I will roll the updates in a couple hours or after I get some rest... ...regardless, they will be up later today!


Thanks for checking in :D

As promised, the funny little vid... All though a little late :/ Dev Log #1

Thinking said:
After installing the UI ED, my screen started flickering; it stopped after I uninstalled it :(
Click to expand...
That's alarming... MS Store should have the functional build. They scan for this kinda stuff i thought, hmmm. Well, I'll get this build out asap! Sorry for the trouble :(
 
Microsoft is going through it now ;) and I have tested all versions on an alt computer and all pass my 700+ tests including live play :D Should be up -30min or whenever they say so hehehe.

Thanks for your patients everyone! <3
