Sandra Calderon became Protector of Taurus in 2330 after her father Timothy Calderon's death. She now had six worlds to govern; Megaris, Samantha, Renfield, Cyrton and Ishtar as well as the homeworld. The population of these worlds grew with infrequent influxes of refugees fleeing the Inner Sphere. Sandra was a worthy successor to her farther and continued the exploration and expantion programs he concieved. Durring her rule the soon-to-be Concordat left behind the concealing craddle of it's birth and grew beyond the Hyades Cluster. The worlds of Pinard, New Vandernburg and Bromhead all yielded vast mineral resources that were used to constructed JumpShip facilities for even more explorations and colonies. Midale, Brockway and Hyalite were settled under Sandra Calderon. [1]
Inevitably, House Calderon's growing settlements ran into the waves of panic-sticken refugees fleeing the Inner Sphere. The first such confrontation occurred in the spring of 2331 on Diefenbaker. There, Sandra Calderon was able to extend the hand of friendship to the newcomers, once the shock of finding a civilized society at peace in place, and establish peaceful co-existance and the trade of technologies flowed. By the middle of the century the Taurians and their allies numbered well over a billion inhabitants outside of Federated Suns space. [2]
Notes
Sandra Calderon's birth and death are not listed, though her son Richard supposedly succeeded her in the year 2335. In the The Periphery (sourcebook) however, the paragrahs containing refences to Sandra indicate she took over in 2330, but also say "In her first decade of her protectorship Sandra sponsored the colonization of...". If she did in fact serve as Protector for at least a decade, then the dates of Richard's rule may be incorrectly given. Given that there have been various typos in many of the early FASA Sourcebooks, I am at this time unable to provide exactly which dates of these two Protectors are correct. I have therefore simply inputed as accurately as I could what was printed. Please add or correct these two personalities with any additional materials relavent to them.Deeppockets 19:47, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
