A Class M planet, Taurus II was first discovered by the so-called "Galileo Seven,"[1] a scientific survey party sent out from the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 in the Shuttlecraft Galileo NCC-1701/7 on Stardate 2821.5 to study the Murasaki 312[2] nebula, a quasar-like phenomenon of scientific interest. The shuttle crashed on the planet, and several members of the crew did not survive their encounters with the native Taureans, an enormous hominid species[2] in the late Stone Age period of anthropological development.[3]
Surface of Taurus II (STO: "Bull by the Horns")
Three years later, on Stardate 6147.4, a science vessel studying the nebula crashed on the surface[1] after it was attacked by Klingon forces led by Captain Kor.[3] Only four members of the scientific team survived: doctors Grogan and Muller[4] and researchers Duncan and Halleck. While other members of the ship's complement had survived the crash, all but those four of the crash survivors were killed by the Taureans.[3]
