Faction: Periphery State: Taurian Concordat

Name:  Taurian Concordat

Background:  The Taurian Concordat is a interstellar nation located in the Periphery.  The Taurian Defense Force is, arguably, the best-trained and most experienced military in the Periphery. The Canopian MAF may show stronger numbers, but it still runs a close second. The Taurian citizens invest a great deal of pride in their military, an honor earned by the men and women who serve the Concordat.
  • Total (Inhabited) Systems: 56
  • Dominant Language(s): English
History: Though the Taurian Concordat did not directly participate, the Succession Wars still left their mark on the Periphery realm and its fighting force. As the Inner Sphere turned its attention away from the outlying states, the Concordat and Magistracy of Canopus broke away from the old Star League-era treaty and solved their border disputes in the old-fashioned way-War. What became known as the "nineteen-days war" commenced, so-called because the actual time in combat was measured out to nineteen days. Other popular monikers are the "two hundred hours war" (though there was actually only one hundred eighty two hours of combat) and the "shoving-match war." After only three poorly executed maneuvers, both sides settled on a new treaty identical in all respects to the old one.

This initial incompetence-understandable, after so long at peace-would not hold sway forever. The Fourth Succession War provided a much-needed temporary boon to the Defense Force. Already worried about Davion aggression, the Federated Suns' near-conquest of House Liao turned Protector Thomas Calderon's fear of the Davions into paranoia. Hampering other sectors of Concordat life, including the long-standing Taurian emphasis on colonial expansion, alerts and constant-training maneuvers sharpened the Concordat's military skill sets. The monies poured into defense also brought about an expansion in material readiness that proved to serve the Concordat well.


The Trinity Alliance is a mutual protection and non-aggression pact between the Capellan Confederation, the Taurian Concordat, and the Magistracy of Canopus, signed in August of 3062. On the surface, the alliance was proposed by Sun-Tzu Liao as a means to advance the technology and internal capabilities of both the Concord and Magistracy. Beneath the surface, the Alliance was orchestrated as a power-play by Chancellor Sun-Tzu to tip the balance of power within the Inner Sphere in his favor:
  • Mutual defense of the three realms allowed the Confederation to increase the size of its military, in particular by utilizing Canopian troops during the Capellan-St. Ives War.
  • A strengthened Taurian Concordat and Magistracy of Canopus would be a thorn in the sides of the Federated Suns and Free Worlds League, respectively.
  • And within the Second Star League, the new voting block of 3 realms eased the possibility of passing motions favoring Chancellor Sun-Tzu's policies.
