Changes: Taurus II

Revision as of 14:09, 21 December 2014

Taurus II was the inhabited second planet of the Taurus system. Classified as M class, this was the homeworld for a species of anthropoids.

The system was located close to Murasaki 312, a quasar-like phenomena located 3 days away from Makus III at warp 1. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")

History

As of stardate 2812, the planet had remained unexplored by the Federation. Long-range scans had revealed basic characteristics of this planet, such as it had an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere.

In 2267, the shuttlecraft Galileo crash landed on Taurus II while attempting to investigate the Murasaki effect. The crew, under the command of Lieutenant Commander Spock, made first contact with the inhabitants, and lost crew members Latimer and Gaetano while on the surface.

The inhabitants of Taurus II were order 480-G anthropoids, similar to lifeforms discovered on Hansen's Planet but much larger, ten to twelve feet in height. They were at approximately a stone-age level of technology, slightly less advanced than a "Folsom culture". (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")

The planet was named after the constellation Taurus. (Star Trek Encyclopedia 2nd ed., p. 499)
