	Not long before the [[Great War (G1)\|war]], a faction within the Senate secretly organized an assassination attempt on [[Nominus Prime]], leaving him gravely injured. This not only allowed the powerful [[Matrix of Leadership]] to fall into the Senate's control, but let them initiate the Clampdown in order to track down the assailants.
