Darth Vader is a fearsome leader in The Empire.

General Cassio Tagge is an Imperial officer stationed aboard the Death Star. 

Draft scripts of A New Hope often swapped the names of General Tagge and Admiral Motti and maybe that is the reason for that in the end credits for A New Hope, General Tagge is mistakenly named Commander Taggi.

Princess Leia is a rebel leader trying to fight The Empire.
