Taurus II

Taurus II was the inhabited second planet of its star system. Classified as M class, this was the homeworld for a species of anthropoids.

The system was located in Murasaki 312, a quasar-like phenomena located three days away from Makus III at warp 1. 

History
As of 2267, the planet had remained unexplored by the Federation. Long-range scans had revealed basic characteristics of this planet, such as that it had an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere.

That same year, the shuttlecraft  crash landed on Taurus II while attempting to investigate the Murasaki 312. The crew, under the command of Lieutenant Commander Spock, made first contact with the inhabitants, and lost crew members Latimer and Gaetano while on the surface.

The inhabitants of Taurus II were order 480-G anthropoids, similar to lifeforms discovered on Hansen's Planet but much larger, ten to twelve feet in height. They were at approximately a Stone Age level of technology, slightly less advanced than a tribal culture.
