- "Owning something irreplaceable…something truly unique… it's a rush. And the only thing that makes my blood sing more than owning something precious… is being the last person to touch it."
- ―Ronen Tagge
Ronen Tagge was a human male member of the House of Tagge, a powerful family of the Galactic Empire.[2] He was the son of Adelaide and Felix Tagge, and the nephew of Domina Tagge,[3] who ensured he received anything that he wanted. Tagge liked to collect rare artifacts or artwork solely to destroy them. Tagge badly wanted to possess the legendary Rings of Vaale and hired mercenaries to capture the rings for him.[2]
Rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Aphra, who had also attempted to acquire the Rings of Vaale, destroyed Ronen's penthouse, nearly killing him in the process.[5] After the near-death of her nephew, Domina placed a bounty on Aphra. The archaeologist was captured by sniper Just Lucky and bounty hunter Kharrek and delivered to Domina, who ordered Aphra to infiltrate De'Rruyet Industries.[6]
Sometime later, Tagge became loyal to the cause of the criminal syndicate Crimson Dawn, and along with its leader, Lady Qi'ra, decided that Domina's time as the leader of the Tagge Corporation had come to an end, and plotted to overthrow her. Tagge eventually recruited the crew of the smuggler Sana Starros to join his cause, though Starros suggested they kill Domina instead of just overthrowing her.[4] In reality, Starros had only been out to acquire proof of Tagge's treachery against his aunt, and he was later executed by her after his attempt to overthrow her failed.[3]
