[edit] History
[edit] Early History
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Auriga Tribe was the first to construct sailing ships, captivated by the thrill of exploring the unknown (a trait that the Auriga still bear).[1]
In the aftermath of the Aeon of Strife, the Auriga were placed within the Templar Caste, charged with operating the carriers and arbiters of the Great Fleet.[1]
[edit] Recent History
The Auriga suffered a heavy blow in the war against the zerg and, courtesy of taking the side of the Conclave against Tassadar and the Dark Templar, conflict against their fellow protoss.[2] In the end, although the Overmind was eventually defeated, the Great Fleet had been decimated by this point.[3]
[edit] Trivia
Auriga is Latin for "charioteer". The emblem of the Auriga tribe somewhat resembles the constellation Auriga, or a sail.
The USM Auriga was the name of a ship in the movie Alien Resurrection.
