Tai-Lin Garr's assassination

Tai-Lin Garr's assassination occurred in 28 ABY on the New Republic capital Hosnian Prime. The New Republic Senator Tai-Lin Garr was killed by Arliz Hadrassian, the leader of the Amaxine warriors, a paramilitary faction that had been destroyed during a skirmish on Sibensko. Garr was a prominent member of the Populist faction in the Galactic Senate who had been nominated as the new Populist candidate for First Senator. After shooting Garr, Hadrassian turned the gun on herself.

Following the assassination, the Populists held a memory service to honor their fallen comrade. Later Lady Carise Sindian, a prominent Centrist senator and a secret agent of the First Order, fabricated evidence framing Ransolm Casterfo, a dissident Centrist as an accomplice of Hadrassian. In retaliation, Casterfo's friend Leia Organa convinced the Elder Houses to strip Carise of all her royal titles.
