1T-TiSe$_2$ hosts a $2 \times 2 \times 2$ charge density wave (CDW) that is known to form the state with localized domains separated by the domain walls upon Cu intercalation. The CDW state with the domain wall network has attracted significant interest due to its coexistence with superconductivity. Here we present a scanning tunneling microscopy, transport and magnetic susceptibility study of 1T-Ti$_{1-\text{x}}$Ta$_\text{x}$Se$_2$. Ta substitution for Ti atoms allows us to perform experiments over the wide range of doping ($ 0 \leqslant \text{x} \leqslant 0.2$), providing access to a significantly broader phase diagram than Cu intercalation experiments. At x = 0.02, we observe a complex network of domains and domain walls. We identify two distinct types of domain walls and show their structure with atomic resolution. Additionally, an elusive symmetry-breaking stripe CDW is found at the light substitution of x = 0.02. We also measure highly substituted x = 0.2 crystals that are superconducting despite the full collapse of the CDW order. Our results uncover rich CDW physics in Ta-substituted 1T-TiSe2 crystals and illuminate the interplay between the CDW and superconductivity.
