Zatec-Cha's coup d'état

In 15 BBY, a coup d'état was orchestrated by Ko Zatec-Cha, Vizier of Tammuz-an, who wished to seize control of his homeworld. Following the ancestral laws of that planet, whoever would present the royal scepter to the Keeper of the Tower at the time of the first sun of the equinox would be anointed the rightful ruler of Tammuz-an. Willing to exploit that opportunity, Zatec-Cha had the rightful crown prince Mon Julpa stripped of his memory so he could bring the scepter to the tower and be crowned in his stead. However, with the help of a young miner named Jann Tosh, Julpa recovered, and Tosh agreed to take him back to Tammuz-an, were he could reclaim his throne. Ultimately, the vizier's plan was thwarted, and Mon Julpa ascended to the position of king.
