Merchant ships belonging to the House of Tagge were sizable cargo carriers constructed and operated by TaggeCo.
These ships transported earnings from the Wheel towards financial institutions located closer to the galactic core. Numerous ships of this type were seized by Imperial troops under the command of Sector Commander Strom. The Empire confiscated the riches for its own use, leaving the vessels in ruins.
To convince the inhabitants of the Wheel to accept an Imperial military presence, thereby enabling the Empire to peacefully take control of the gambling operation, the Empire falsely blamed the Alliance for the attacks.
