History

After the development of the Guardian tank, most of the Republic were eager the finally retire the Chieftain medium tank in favor of the new Guardian tank. The Mechanized Assault division went along with this plan for a while however the Guardians need to deploy to be truly effective in combat, did not fit in with the MA's motto of flexibility AND mobility, and eventually led to the Taurus project. The project aimed to combine the mobility of the Guardian with firepower on par with the Leopard 3 tank. The Taurus has much more armor than it's predecessor, as well as a much bigger gun based on the Leopard 3's cannon. To seperate it further from the Leopard 3 and Guardian, the Taurus was given a coaxial machine gun, making it much more effective against infantry, and removing the need to wait for anti infantry support, further increasing the MA's overall mobility.

Trivia
