Assassination attempt on Marchion Ro

In 228 BBY, an assassination attempt against Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro was carried out. The attempt was unsuccessful, but resulted in the death of Arathab Fal—a member of Ro's loyal bodyguards known as the She'ar. As a result of Fal's death, the Eye began to see less value in the group. The event eventually became known to the Nihil spy Nan and the Nihil Minister of Information Ghirra Starros.

In 228 BBY, when Starros questioned Nan about Ro's location, the spy informed her that she did not know. The minister then asked Nan if he had taken any of the She'ar with him, to which the spy told Starros of the Eye's waning opinion of the group after Fal's death. The minister then recalled the assassination attempt and mentally considered that a lot of her problems would be solved if Ro managed to have himself killed.
