Sterope is an industrial world located in the [[rimward]] [[Periphery]]. For most of its time, the system was a member of the [[Taurian Concordat]] where it was sometimes referred to as "New Taurus" due to its mining and weapons manufacturing abilities. The planet is home to [[Sterope Defense Industries]] as well as a corporate unit of [[Taurus Territorial Industries]].
