Overview

Taurus is the political and cultural capital of the Taurian Concordat. 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 Concord; 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 31st century.

Transit in system is difficult. The Taurus system is cluttered with a natural barrier of asteroids, which have been mined and laced with Taurian Special Asteroid Support Force laser batteries.
