- You may also be looking for the planet by the same name, located in the Taurean system.
Taurus II was the second planet in the Taurus planetary system. The system, located in the Murasaki 312, was in the Alpha Quadrant. This planet was classified as M-class with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere. The planet was the homeworld for the Taurus II anthropoids, a pre-warp capable humanoid species. This planet was near Makus III.
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 Taureans, 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 location of Makus III on "The Explored Galaxy" wall chart
"The Explored Galaxy" was a map of charted space in the Alpha Quadrant. Makus III was located between the Assembly and Romulus. Both locations were identified in DS9: "The Search, Part II", "Call to Arms" as being located in this quadrant. The chart, first seen chronologically in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, was also seen in several Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes set in the 24th century, from the year 2364 to 2370. These were TNG: "Conspiracy", "The Measure Of A Man", "The Emissary", "The Mind's Eye", "The Game", and DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Cardassians".
The planet was named after the constellation Taurus. (Star Trek Encyclopedia 2nd ed., p. 499)
