Taurus II is a planet located within the Murasaki 312 quasar-like phenomenon.
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 are order 480-G anthropoids, similar to lifeforms discovered on Hansen's Planet but much larger, ten to twelve feet in height. They are at approximately a stone-age level of technology, slightly less advanced than a "Folsom culture". (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")
