General Tagge's battlecruiser

Being a general, and not attached to any naval assets, Ulric Tagge would travel aboard several Imperial battlecruisers in the months following the Battle of Yavin.

Characteristics


The ship-features seemed to indicate sizes and protection greater than Star Destroyers, with sensor-globes merged with the command-tower hull and multiple layers of armor.

History
General Tagge was onboard a battlecruiser with sleek armor when meeting with his older brother Orman, to discuss the plot to wrest power away from Darth Vader.

Later on, the general would switch between several vessels stationed at the blockade of the Gordian Reach. His third documented transport was destroyed by a fleet of Rebel gunboats (most of which seemed modified from the Corellian gunships), but he managed to escape and was transferred to a fourth vessel of similar size and shape.

Behind the scenes

 * Since being referred to as "battlecruisers", the ships General Tagge used for transportation might have been formally designated "Star Battlecruisers", similar to the Procurator and Praetor-class warships, and possibly be examples of one or several of those classes. No official source has ever confirmed this.


 * The ships were somewhat similar to Captain Wermis's second battlecruiser and most likely belong to one or several sub-classes of Star Destroyer-class battlecruisers.
