→Overview
The Tauros employed by the Elysian drop regiments are further adapted to be lightweight and thus deployable from a [[Valkyrie]]. The Standard Tauros is a 4x4 with either a dorsal mounted heavy [[Flamer]], [[Lascannon]]{{Fn|1}}, or [[Tauros Grenade Launcher]], manned by a gunner.{{Fn|4}} So the crew consist of a driver and a gunner.{{Fn|5}}
Elysian variant of the Tauros is lightweight and transported to the battle by [[Sky Talon Valkyrie]]s, which simply carried them with the magnetic clamps and released the Tauros with two-man crew already on board. The Tauros dropped last short distance and the heavy impact compensated by the reinforced shock absorbers of the vehicle. The Venators may be dropped just in the center of battle or contrarily - behind the enemy lines for reconnaissance or 'hit-and-run' attacks. For these missions the Tauros will be carrying the extra equipment: weapon power packs, camouflage netting and [[hunter-killer missiles missile]]s as well as supplies and crew weaponry. This allows the Tauros squadrons continue the mission for a long time without the additional resupplying.{{Fn|5}} All Tauros are equipped with Galvanic motor technology allowing them to press ahead even after taking damage to their traction.{{Fn|1}} Also thanks to them the vehicle do not gave the standard multi-fuel engine, which is both dirty and loud and often gives away vehicle's position. Galvanic motors on the other hand driven by electrical power so only hum softly.{{Fn|5}}
