Tauron is a planet in the Cyrannus star system, orbiting Helios Alpha.[1] It is named after the Taurus tribe who resided on Kobol, though its citizens may not have been affiliated with that tribe.[note 1]
History
Following the conclusion of the Gemenese dark age and humanity's reinvention of space flight,[2] Tauron was one of a number of colonies which fell under the warring controls of Virgon and Leonis.[1]
Further notes
- Much information on Tauron was added into the series lore for the show Caprica. Writer Jane Espenson also collaborated in the creation of mapping the Cyrannus star system with the positions of each planet along with explaining their histories. The factoids themselves quasi-canon, existing in a preliminary level where they are canon unless contradicted by new information.[1] However, as there was no second season of Caprica to contradict them, they stand.
- In the star system map created for Season 1, Tauron is the colony furthest out from the sun.

- notes
- ↑ The history of the Cyrannus system suggests there is no direct link between the planets and the tribes they were named after. Colonies such as Caprica; Picon and Virgon were settled by the same people. Aquaria meanwhile was founded as a scientific outpost rather than a settlement for the Aquarius tribe.
