Taurian Concordat

One of the first of the current intersteller powers to be founded, the Taurian Concordat remains one of the most powerful of the various realms in the Periphery region of the Inner Sphere. Traditionally ruled by the Calderon family, a family of Terran expatriots, the Concordat has recently come under the rule of Grover Sharplen, a paranoid extremist. The Concordat has always had a strong military and an even stronger tradition of democracy. Its people are stubborn and willing to fight to the last to protect their freedoms.
