Editing Taurian Concordat (section)

== Origins ==
The Concordat starts off with House Calderon, and specifically Samantha Calderon who did ''not'' have it good during the time of the Terran Alliance. A rebellion ended in the death of her husband and two daughters, and all the money in the world that she'd inherited had ended up mattering for nothing due to the [[Free Worlds League|Marik]] pirates continuing to assail the world they had landed on. Finally, she could stand no more, and decided that her official stance on this matter was that this whole sector of space could go fuck itself, and bounced from the Inner Sphere altogether in 2250 with around 2500 people in tow. Eventually, they found the Hyades Cluster, which was a series of stars that were naturally linked via a gravitational balance, with one of those worlds being Taurus. From there, Samantha would begin building a new society, one that was free of the Terran Alliance's bullshit. And then...they met their neighbors in the FedSun.

See, the Federation had created a massive slave labor camp on the Concordat side of their borders, and that pissed them off something fierce, so they began quickly building up a defense force in order to combat what they now saw as the barbarians of the Inner Sphere, and when House Davion finally got involved, it was too late; the Taurian Concordat was ready for them, and their first real military test, which they won spectacularly. Ever since, to their detriment and to their credit, they have been fighting to keep themselves as Taurians. This has never been a smooth ride, however, and in the 31st century the Taurian state is in shambles, largely hanging by a thread to the worlds it once held in a death grip thanks to the paranoia of it's less stable protectors of the Realm, and have been largely coddled by the Trinity Alliance, especially that of the [[Magistracy of Canopus]]' army.
