The Axelrod Conspiracy was a series of events and actions with the ultimate purpose of taking over the Manticore System before anyone found out about the Manticore Wormhole Junction. The Axelrod Corporation had discovered the likelihood of the junction through covert survey missions through the Manticore System, but they decided to keep the survey information to themselves in order to try to profit from it. They used their agents, including Jeremiah Llyn, toward this end.
