Taggart was a Human male captain in the Senate Guard during the Clone Wars. Around 21 BBY, Taggart and some of his Guards were sent to the planet Mandalore to protect a group of Republic senators who were to attend a peace conference with representatives of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the talks in the New Mandalorian capital Sundari, Taggart, along with several of his men, was stationed at the Sundari shipping docks near the Phoenix, the ship of the Republic's delegation. However, when Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano and the former Confederate Lux Bonteri arrived there, Tano informed Taggart that Confederate BX-series droid commandos were chasing the duo. Taggart and his troops opened fire on the battle droids, and following the skirmish, both sides suffered several casualties.
