The Taurian Concordat is an interstellar nation in the fictional BattleTech universe. It is the largest of the Periphery powers. It is characterized by a mild xenophobia, a paranoia concerning House Davion, peaceful foreign affairs, and a strong industrial base. Its people are freedom loving, and have in the past been noted for their fanatical defense of the Concordat. Recently, in the years leading up to the Word of Blake Jihad, the Taurian Concordat has splintered into two realms: One named after the original, and the other calling itself the Calderon Protectorate.
