In 33 BBY, an attack on Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum at the hands of the Nebula Front terrorist organization occurred on the planet of Coruscant.
Prelude
Qui-Gon Jinn had reason to believe that Captain Arwen Cohl had survived the Dorvalla Incident and aired his concerns to fellow Jedi Master Adi Gallia who suggested the two confer with Supreme Chancellor Valorum.
The attack
The two Jedi arrived to spot Chancellor Valorum engulfed in a crowd of media correspondents and his personal aides. As they approached the crowd, Jinn sensed that something was not right, and that moment was when the Nebula Front arrived in an airspeeder to attack Valorum. Jinn and Gallia fended them off but one succeeded in wounding Valorum.
Aftermath
In the moments following the attack, Valorum was rushed to hospital. Some believed that it was in retaliation of the Front not being included in the recently proposed Eriadu Trade Summit. Master Jin eventually found a Front base at Asmeru in the Senex sector and headed there with his Padawan apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and five other Jedi.
