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 stub 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> |

The [[RSI]] '''Constellation Taurus''' is the freighter variant of the [[Constellation]] series. It is fully configurable with a chassis that's been refined to the essentials, doing what you need of it and doing it well. Capable of handing much larger hauls than it's fellow Constellations while maintaining an excellent fuel economy compared to others within its class. |

<blockquote>Taurus, the Bull, has been charging across the sky perhaps longer than any other Human constellation. Our earliest ancestors recognized the power and tenacity of this brawny beast. Now, as one of the premier Constellations in the galaxy, Taurus will safely bear your burdens, too.</blockquote> |
