'''Project Aurora'''{{Fn|2a}}, or the '''Psychic Scourge''', is an ancient [[Necron]]{{Fn|2b}} device first discovered by [[Inquisitor]] [[Drogan]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
[[Image:Aurora.jpg|thumb|right|The Aurora Device{{Fn|2b}}]]
The core of the Psychic Scourge is a hand-held device that is known as the Power Source which drew energy from the Warp. In truth, it is a [[Necron]] device that can either amplify or nullify the powers of the Warp depending on its alignment.{{Fn|2b}} Inquisitor Drogan believed direct handling and exposure to the Power Source could lead to corruption. This Power Source served to provide the critical energy requirements of the weapon and needed to be opened within a large structure where it powered a lens that fired into the Orbital Spire to distribute its effects around a world. According to the Inquisitor, improper handling of the Scourge is capable of cracking a world in half and devastating its surface. The audio logs made by Drogan indicated that it functioned by focusing excessive amounts of Warp energy into a selected Xenos race's specific Warp signature. Thus, in theory, this led to massive injury and hemorrhaging of the creature's central nervous system and killing them in the process. The effect led to the chosen species heads exploding in a violent manner as a side effect of the process rather than the intended result of the weapon's usage.{{Fn|1}}
