The '''Constellation Taurus''' is the freighter variant of the large multi-crew [[Constellation]] series manufactured by [[Roberts Space Industries]] (RSI). It trades the side missile racks and the snub fighter for additional cargo space, a cargo release system for quick unloading, and a security hold reinforced with tech plating.<ref name="game3140">{{Cite game|build=[[Star Citizen Alpha 3.14.0|Alpha 3.14.0]]|text=|accessdate=2021-07-21|game=}}</ref><ref name="galactapedia">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Vgg7jYmpQn-constellation-taurus|text=Galactapedia: Constellation Taurus|accessdate=2021-07-12}}</ref>
