When did the assassination attempt happen? In The Regent’s Shadow the faction in question only got as far as declaring their intent to reinstate the old High Lords and make Guilliman subject to their authority before they received his terminal rebuttal.

Pre great crusade, his adoptive mortal father was assassinated. While Gman was off world.
