Silas Tagge

Silas Tagge was a Human male scientist who helmed the research wing of the Tagge Company during the Galactic Civil War. Although he was born into the powerful and ancient House of Tagge, Silas was wholly uninterested in anything outside of his scientific pursuits, living a simple and frugal lifestyle. When his older brother Orman became the new Baron of House Tagge, he put Silas' talents to use developing weapons in the Tagges' efforts to curry favor with the Emperor. Among Tagge's creations was Achtnak Turbine Station, which the Empire used to devastating effect during the Yavin blockade of 0 ABY before its destruction by Rebel pilot Luke Skywalker. In the wake of that defeat, Tagge developed another weapon called the Omega Frost, with which he and his brother planned to freeze an entire Rebel fleet. However, Skywalker foiled that plot as well, leading to the Tagges' crushing defeat at the Battle of the Corridor. Tagge was ultimately placed into custody by the Sith Lord Darth Vader, and later died while held by the Imperials.
