The word "Tauranian" is the adjectival form of "Tauron", and has been applied to at least two ships in the fleet.

Lieutenant Felix Gaeta refers to a Tauranian refinery ship in the episode "Resistance". Circumstantial evidence has indicated that the Fleet possesses only one refinery ship, and it was named as Daru Mozu in "Epiphanies". The miniseries novelization, however, briefly refers to a refinery ship actually named the "Tauranian". At present, it is unclear whether the Fleet is meant to have two refinery ships, or whether this was the result of an error.

A deleted scene in 33 references the Tauranian Traveler, whose captain wants to break from the fleet and strike out on his own. At Roslin's urging, Adama orders the CAP to make several close fly-bys of the ship to dissuade it from leaving. The Tauranian Traveler is later visible on vote tally boards in Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II.
