Taurus was once the homeworld of the Taurans. It is the 2 of the 4 planets found in its system and the only known habitable one. According to the geographical features found deep in its crust, it is estimated that Taurus is around 3.87 billion years old.

Life of Taurus is found to be diverse, and very similar to the planet Terra. Many of its life forms are found on the surface of the planet, with civilizations slowly expanding throughout its major continents.

History

Early History of Taurus are somewhat lost due to a cataclysmic event called The Rupture. The resulting aftermath saw massive shifts in tectonic plates, and many civilizations perished due to the event, with only 29% of the population surviving in the end, most of which are the Lancastrians.

After the events of the Rupture, the Tauruan’s eventually forgot the old ways, and entered a age of technological reform that came at a great cost. With the rise of technological revolutions, the races on Taurus slowly adapted to a warlike and corpulist culture.

Major Lifeforms

Since the early rise of Civilization on Taurus, different tribes (clans) started to form and were scattered throughout the continents. The resulting mass distance between each of these tribes slowly adapted on their own, creating races based upon their surrounding environments. Various Tauran ethnolinguistic family trees emerged from different heartlands and migrated to different regions of Taurus.
