The Financial Reform Act, designed to tackle corruption that was hindering the Republic, was presented to the Galactic Senate in 23 BBY. The Act's progress was halted, and it never reached a vote, following the assassination of Senator Jheramahd Greyshade. It was discovered that Tsian had murdered him on the orders of Venco Autem to block the bill's approval.
Soon after this event, numerous systems began their secession from the Republic. The inability of the Financial Reform Act to be enacted was widely considered to have worsened the Separatist Crisis, ultimately resulting in the outbreak of the Clone Wars.
