[Source] Commonly used in the droid manufacturing industry, the T-44 power-shunt was a bomb produced by Baktoid Armor Workshop during the waning days of the Republic. In 22 BBY, a set of T-44 power-shunts were planted in the airspeeder of Gran Senator Aks Moe during a state visit to the planet Aargau. The bomb detonated while the airspeeder was traveling along an expressway on Aargau, killing the Moe and three of his companions. It remained unknown following Moe's assassination who exactly had placed the power-shunts inside the airspeeder, but many believed that the attack was linked to the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
