The Taurus is one of the Marine's heavy hitters. It's main weapon is the Mark 10 155mm Rapid Cycle Quantum Projectile Cannon. This weapon is capable of firing 10 rounds per minute, at a distance of up to 9.65 kilometers. The Mark 10 Cannon can fire both High Explosive and Mine-Laying Rounds. Mounted above the cannon is a Class 6 Turret Mount Burst Fire Isomagnetic Disintegrator, capable of firing 30 four shot bursts per minute. For added protection in a combat theater, the Taurus is also equipped with a pair of Anti-Air System Missile Launchers, containing 4 Lornet Anti-Aircraft Missiles capable of reaching a maximum height of 15,000 meters. The launchers can be swapped out in about two minutes when expended. The 6 integrated 60mm mortars are capable of launching Shrapnel, APF (antipersonnel Flechette), Time Delay Shrapnel, ILUM, Smoke, High Explosive, and Time Delay High Explosive Shells at an effective firing range of 70–3,490 meters.
