The class of Aubrey-class Search & Rescue patrol vessels is named after the fictional Captain Jack Aubrey, from the Aubrey and Maturin series of novels written by Patrick O'Brian. Ships in the class are named after ships commanded by Aubrey in those novels: as of the end of 2014, the Sophie, Polychrest, Surprise, Boadicea, and Leopard have entered service, with the Ariel still under construction.

The medical bay on an Aubrey-class is equivalent to an ambulance. They also carry "International Rescue" style search and rescue gear. Aubrey-class weaponry is point-defense style, so the ship can get in, make the rescue and get back out - if heavier action is expected, a GJ cruiser goes along for cover fire.
