An anti-tank cannon module designed for use by the My'leke, usable only with the My'leke Universal Module. The module was created in ER 550 and put into use in ER 566.
The Taurus was created for use against armored or hardened targets. It's not designed to hit fast movers.
Created in ER 550, the Taurus is one of several weaponized based modules created by inventor Joh'tre'na Tau'rus, a My'leke Seeker. Originally, the modules weapon was intended to be used purely as a deterent against terrorists and criminals wanting to use armored vehicles for commiting crimes. However, this changed as the weapon went through various modifications over the span of nearly three hundred years.

The module looks slightly boxy with the slides slopping down to cover some of the modules internal parts. A two foot long barrel extends out from one of the two forward sides of the weapon, it's location dependant on the My'leke operating the module. Because of the barrels long length, there are a series of load bearers located rear to keep the My'leke from tipping forward.
There are heat-sinks located along the sides to filter the heat out into the air and away from the user.
A list of systems within this module.
Because the module lacks its own generator, it is given power from the MUWM's power generator. The PTS faciliates this process by serving as a conduit for power.
There is a single onboard capacitor that can store up to one hour's worth of extra power. This power is used when the cannon is fired, it takes up to twenty minutes for the capacitor to fully recharge.
Located on the bottom of the module and largely kept out of sight as eight connectors that connect into the top part of the MUWM, this allows the My'leke to control this module using the control systems of the MUWM.
The part weapon of the module is the two foot long cannon, the weapon fires superheated plasma.
Situated at the front of the cannon is the modules targetting system, which tells the wielder what direction the cannon is presently facing along with providing the distance to the target.
