The scheme to murder Cade, known as the assassination of Cade, was devised by Vice Admiral Rampart with the goal of killing clone trooper "Cade." This plot was hatched after Cade menaced Rampart, demanding he give evidence to the Imperial Senate regarding the bombardment of Tipoca City. Although the assassination achieved its aim, another clone, Slip, managed to flee and alert Senator Riyo Chuchi concerning Rampart and the deadly plot.
