Tagge Corporation

Organizations

The Tagge Corporation is one of the most influential entities in the Star Wars universe. Known widely for their deep connection with the Galactic Empire, the organization is a family-run conglomerate based on the planet Tepasi. The corporation secured a robust reputation for producing a broad range of products, from foodstuffs to sophisticated military hardware. Rear Admiral Orman Tagge founded the corporation, and members of the Tagge family held all senior management positions.

The corporation's products were notorious throughout the Galactic Republic, and later the Galactic Empire, for their high quality. They famously owned a majority stake in the mining facilities on the desert planet of Tatooine, where they discovered valuable minerals beneath the barren dunes. The Tagges were among the first to support the Emperor and were wealthy, influential proponents of non-alien species dominance and the expansion of humanoid Imperial control.

In addition to their significant mining operations, the Tagge Corporation manufactured BioTech cybernetic eyes, or 'Tagge Eyes'. These advanced cybernetic eyes built their reputation when Orman Tagge, after being blinded by Darth Vader, replaced his own eyes with them. These specialized cybernetic replacements became highly valued throughout the galaxy due to their advanced functionality.

However, the Tagge Corporation's close ties to the Empire ultimately proved disastrous. After the Empire's fall, their operations came under scrutiny from the New Republic. Due to their association with the repressive regime and allegations of supporting war efforts, all their assets were seized by the New Order. Despite this setback, they continued underground operations, albeit at a lower scale.

the Tagge Corporation is a richly woven thread in the complex tapestry of Star Wars lore. Its story teaches us the effects of unchecked ambition and how power can often lead to downfall. Even though the corporation was swept away by the tide of changing authority, the Tagge family's legacy and influence live on in the Star Wars Universe through their inventions and vast industrial empire.
