So we take a bunch of auroras, right?

Let's stuff 'em to the gills with explody stuff.

Then we take an escort carrier of some type. Stuff *it* to the gill with explody stuff.

Finally, we cram all those auroras into the carrier.

Rigth before the carrier hits its target, it disgorges all of its auroras, who in turn jettison all their cargo, and then the whole shebang slams into some unfortunate bastard in multi-billion metric ton cluster bomb.

Bombs within bombs within bombs.

More like this
Think of the bomb casing as the carrier, the 8 internal payload carriers as the auroras, and the bomblets as the explody stuff the auroras will jettison.

I'm assuming a typo, and so we'll play this straight. A turducken is a chicken stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey. Much like explosives stuffed into an aurora stuffed into an explosives-laden carrier.

May the Christ Roberts have mercy on all of our souls
when trying something with explosives on such a scale!
You seem to forget the part where one of our fully capable, competent, skillful pilots
nudges ever so slightly against a colleague's spacecraft while docking into the carrier
and thus prematurly explodes our fleet.
