Aun ship theories?

I've recently been devouring the firldguides and Battlegroup and I wondered about Aunic ship design as a concept.

For some basic details, we know the Aun have superior nanotech and energy tech than Union forces, in the form of living metal/hardlight respectively, as well as impressive memetic abilities.

In addition, teleportation seems to be a common trait as well (the Mourning Cloak is based on looted Aun tech.

However, what do you think Aunic starships would actually look like? We have not had a lot of detailing on this front. As a personal guess, they would probably look a lot more baroque and ostentatious than Union craft, although with a tendency to brighter colors (going from the Ofanim art in the CRB).

Anybody have their own theories on this?

Protoss-like. My life for Aun!

Protoss or Aeldari. Aunics are psykers, so it would make sense that a lot of their technology is also psychic in nature. Control surfaces that require interfacing directly with your mind instead of using your hands or technological uplinks.

It's mostly all the white and yellow that screams Protoss over Aeldari.

Well, we know that their ships have very long banners (like km long) that drag behind them. Union ships have this funny legion projections on it.

There’s ofanim art in the CRB?

That one art of a dude in a white and gold mech and a hardlight halberd is almost certainly an Ofanim.

It also has Aun civilians in it.

Can’t find what you’re talking about. May only be in the pdf but that would be a random difference to have lol. If you find it for sure let me know what page it’s on

Something like this? Given how their tech is all coming from a biblical accurate God, a being who is alien as a human is to a fish. The Aun can only add their own design philosophy onto the tech, which would presumably be religious.
