Cassio Tagge/Legends

"The Rebel Alliance is too well equipped...they're more dangerous than you realize..."

- General Cassio Tagge

Cassio Tagge was a general in the Imperial Army and a prominent member of the wealthy House of Tagge.

Biography
High General Tagge was commander of all Army forces stationed aboard the first Death Star, and sternly protested that the Rebel Alliance was an underestimated foe that the Imperial Starfleet should have taken more seriously.

His objections were generally dismissed by his rival, Admiral Motti, but the Death Star's destruction by a small band of Rebels proved his predictions correct; Tagge died aboard the station in that attack.

Behind the scenes
General Ulric Tagge, from the Marvel Comics, was originally intended to be the same character as the General Tagge seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. However, other sources showed that the General Tagge portrayed in the film did indeed die aboard the Death Star. The discrepancy was reconciled in Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds, which revealed that the two Tagges were indeed different persons, and that A New Hope's Tagge's first name was Cassio.

Cassio Tagge was portrayed by Don Henderson.

Though Motti references Tagge as head of the Imperial Navy, he is actually an Army commander. Motti is a commander in the Navy.
