	At the end of the Cylon War, Tauron is [[Battle of Tauron\|under attack]] from Cylon [[basestar (RDM)\|basestars]] and [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005\|ground forces]], causing many civilian causalities in areas such as the city of [[Hypatia]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor]]," extended Edition).

	After the War, Tauron becomes one of the wealthier colonies in the Twelve Worlds and earns the reputation for being a troublesome colony within the [[Government of the Twelve Colonies\|federal system]] of the Colonies, often disobeying directives decided by the Colonies and pushing their luck with the [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)\|admiralty]] {{TRS\|Hero\|Dirty Hands}}.
