The planet is named for the second husband of [[Samantha Calderon]], [[Victor Taurens]], who died while attempting to navigate the system's asteroid field. Taurus is also one of the industrial centers of the Concordat; thus, units stationed on Taurus tend to be elite and well-equipped. Taurus is also home to one of the largest [[Periphery]] populations, estimated at greater than two billion inhabitants as of the early [[thirty-first century]].
