Which sounds better for the possessive for of Taurus?

I am writing a sci-fi series set several thousand years in the future. I have a group of humans from Taurus Prime. At one point, nearly 5000 years ago, they were independent from the Earth Republic. What sounds like a better possessive form for someone from that world or referring to it (e.g. architecture)?

Tauri

Taurean

Taurusian

    I don't like Taurusian at all.

    I think it might be interesting for you to have one adjective for a person from Taurus Prime, and another adjective for a thing from it or relating to it.

    In English there is generally only one word filling both uses, but some languages have separate words.

    Even in English there is at least one example: Britain is a country, a Brit or Briton is a person from Britain, and British is the nationality of a Briton.

    So you might Define Tauri as a native of Taurus Prime, with the nationality of a Tauri being Taurean.
