Tagge protoblade

The Tagge protoblade was a plasma weapon created in 3 ABY by the Tagge Corporation to replicate a Jedi lightsaber. The protoblade was manufactured at the initiative of Silas Tagge, TaggeCo's Head of Weapons Development, and was evaluated by Lady Domina Tagge—head of the company and Silas' sister. That year, Silas attempted to take over control of the company by having the other company board members killed. During a skirmish aboard the company flagship, the Acquisitor, Domina wielded the blade against the bounty hunters Silas had hired before using it to kill her traitorous brother.

Domina once again used the protoblade during an attempt on her life by her nephew Ronen Tagge, as he attempted to seize control of the company while being backed by the Crimson Dawn criminal syndicate. Crimson Dawn orchestrated a mutiny aboard the Acquisitor, forcing Domina to wield the protoblade and kill the traitors in her ranks. Domina eventually used the unpowered protoblade to kill Ronen. The weapon was later used by Domina to combat company droids that had been corrupted by the Scourge infection of droids across the galaxy while aboard the company research facility, the Casus Belli. The protoblade was later used by Domina when she was targeted by the Scourge aboard the Acquisitor, though the weapon drained, resulting in her capture. After she was rescued, Domina briefly used the weapon again as she fled her lost flagship.
