'''Taurus Mining Ventures''' is an [[independent]] mining [[Corporations|corporation]] based at Hind Mine in the T Tauri system. Since its appearance in T Tauri on April 17, 3303, Taurus Mining Ventures largely kept out of the public eye. In 3307, however, it was revealed that the corporation had recently been contracted by the mysterious [[Salvation]] to act as an intermediary between him and the various pilots who had chosen to assist him in his investigation of [[Azimuth Biochemicals]] as well as his anti-[[Thargoid]] operations. The [[Pilots Federation]] has cautioned pilots from associating with Taurus Mining Ventures due to its ties to Salvation and the possibility that both entities may be engaged in criminal activities. In November 3307, the corporation's headquarters came under attack from rogue [[Aegis]] forces led by Admiral [[Aden Tanner]], who believed Hind Mine concealed hard proof that Salvation's work was recklessly provoking the Thargoids. | '''Taurus Mining Ventures''' is an [[independent]] mining [[Corporations|corporation]] based at Hind Mine in the T Tauri system.

Thus far, Taurus Mining Ventures has materially supported Salvation on | Thus far, Taurus Mining Ventures has materially supported Salvation on four occasions. Between April 10 and May 21, 3307, it rewarded pilots who brought copies of the logs of the [[Hesperus]] to Hind Mine for Salvation to analyse. Between June 24 and July 1, 3307, it oversaw a [[Guardian]] artefact collection campaign in PMD2009 48 that competed with Aegis to acquire exclusive rights to the [[Proteus]] wreck and xenological sites in Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2, which had been found thanks to information supplied by Salvation. On September 17, 3307, it transported advanced technical components falsely registered as [[Basic Medicines]] to Pegasi Sector ON-S b4-8 and sold them to pilots so they could be smuggled into the Thargoid-besieged Cornsar system, where Salvation used them to build a prototype anti-xeno superweapon. On December 9, 3307, the company moved three of its megaships to the [[Pleiades Nebula]] and allowed pilots to transport [[Classified Experimental Equipment]] to them to build three more anti-xeno superweapons. | ||
On October 28, 3307, Taurus Mining Ventures opened a new [[Surface Port]] in [[Mbooni]] named Prospect's Deep. Between November 11 and November 18, it fended off an assault on Hind Mine by a rogue Aegis Defense force led by Admiral [[Aden Tanner]], resulting in the company's capture of the megaship Musashi. | On October 28, 3307, Taurus Mining Ventures opened a new [[Surface Port]] in [[Mbooni]] named Prospect's Deep.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Salvation]] requires vital materials to deploy anti-xeno superweapons in the [[Delphi]], [[Maia]] and [[Merope]] systems. A message was transmitted from the Musashi [[megaship]] by its new commanding officer, Commodore [[Morag Halloran]]: "The [[Thargoid]]s have invaded three key systems, as Salvation anticipated. Preparations have been made to halt their advance, but there is an urgent requirement to collect [[Classified Experimental Equipment|classified experimental equipment]] from the Heart of Taurus in the Qarato system. Pilots must then deliver these shipments to three other megaships: the Musashi in the Delphi system, the [[Bright Sentinel]] in the Maia system, and the Glorious Prospect in the Merope system. It is crucial that all deliveries are made by early on Tuesday the 14th of December. Without these components, Salvation's superweapons will not be able to affect enough Thargoid vessels to turn the tide." Commodore Halloran was formerly a member of the [[Alliance Defence Force]], and was in charge of protecting the first expedition to the [[Coalsack Nebula]] in 3306. She is one of hundreds of naval officers and crew from all three superpowers who have resigned their commissions to offer their services to Salvation, believing that only he can defeat the Thargoids.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61b2004bb01f6418d158f6f9 GalNet: Support Salvation's Counterstrike Against the Thargoids]</ref> | |||

*Admiral [[Aden Tanner]] and the crew of the Musashi [[megaship]] will be placed on trial for attacking [[Salvation]]'s allies. The admiral disobeyed orders by attempting to gain access to Hind Mine [[starport]], the headquarters of Taurus Mining Ventures. After failing to achieve this, most of the Musashi's crewmembers were detained and repatriated to their respective home systems to face civil or military charges. The [[Federal Navy]] has published this official notice: "Admiral Tanner is formally accused of mutiny and unlawful military action while in command of the Musashi. He will stand trial in a general court-martial. If found guilty, he will be dishonourably discharged and imprisoned for life." Dr [[Paul Baumann]], chair of the independent board of inquiry into [[Aegis]], commented: "Recent events in the T Tauri system clearly fall within the scope of our investigation. For Aegis's chief military liaison to launch an unauthorised attack, at the cost of many lives, will weigh heavily against the organisation." Admiral Tanner claims that the anti-xeno superweapon deployed by [[Salvation]] in the Cornsar system has triggered an increase in [[Thargoid]] attacks. Although there is no direct evidence of this, the Thargoids have performed coordinated strikes against several systems in the weeks since that event.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61a4ca3a7b7c062a03402c47 GalNet: Aegis Renegades Face Criminal Charges]</ref> | *Admiral [[Aden Tanner]] and the crew of the Musashi [[megaship]] will be placed on trial for attacking [[Salvation]]'s allies.
