Legend

this man, the middle brother of the Tagge family, was one of the many scientific minds behind the technologies produced by House of Tagge. A balding man with jet-black hair worn long where it still grew, Silas was a man who believed whole-hearted in the advances of science. He refused to eat real meat, instead favoring the instant nutrition and simplicity of food pastes. Among Silas' most interesting inventions was the Omega Frost device, which was successfully tested in the deserts of Tatooine. Silas lacked his older brother's need for vengeance, and chose to be pragmatic about things such as the Alliance. However, when Luke Skywalker managed to disable one of the Omega Frost generating devices in the asteroid belt near Junction, Silas saw his grandest invention suddenly fail. His mind began to crack, and he could not longer operate on his own. He retreated into the medical facility aboard the Tagge ship, hoping to rouse his brother and get him working on solving the problem. However, the Alliance ships they had planned to destroy were free to reach Junction, and took a slight detour to eliminate the Tagge threat. In minutes, the combined firepower of the meager Alliance fleet destroyed the Tagge ship, killing all aboard. Silas and Orman, however, survived the blast in a sealed chamber, which was recovered by Darth Vader. Vader kept the Tagge brothers in suspended animation, for his own later use.
