Great Revolt

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Great Revolt was an event on the planet Velmor which resulted in the overthrow of the House of Lorac for a time. In 17 BBY, Imperial agents had bought off a group of Velmorians, inciting them to trigger an uprising against the ruling King and Queen, Lorac and Denira. The group stormed the palace and killed the monarchs, but they left their young son, Anod, who had Imperial sympathies, alive. The King and Queen's eldest son, Denid, who was not supportive of the Empire, fled offworld with help from one of the King's advisors, the Velmoc, Jedidiah. In the aftermath of the revolt, Zelor was placed in charge of the world as the ruling regent. The laws of succession dictated that twenty years needed to pass in order to declare Denid officially deceased, and so Anod was unable to become King right away.
