History
The Hapes Consortium was an interstellar government and kingdom that was formed a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The Hapans themselves were the descendants of the Lorell Raiders, a group of pirates who had found routes through the Transitory Mists and used the Hapes Cluster as their base. The Lorell Raiders, along with any other treasure they would plunder, would abduct beautiful Human women from all over the Galaxy and bring them back to Hapes. The women would stay on Hapes and raise their children. The Lorell Raiders would take boys and make the raids only to return to Hapes to rest. Around 4050 BBY, however, the mostly male Lorell Raiders were devastated by the Jedi when they ventured out into Galactic Republic space. Hapes was forgotten, and the women left behind took control and vowed that a man would never rule them again. They formed the Hapan society, with a Queen Mother at its head. Around 3100 BBY, a Queen Mother sealed the borders to the newly created Hapes Consortium from the rest of the Galaxy, ordered the starship Star Home to be constructed, and quickly captured many more planets for the Hapans to colonize. Information on Hapan history between 3,000 BBY and 8 ABY was very hard to come by, but what was found was that sometime in the distant past, several members of the Hapes Consortium tried to secede from the influence of Hapes, but were quickly crushed. Those worlds became known as the Rifle Worlds, and eventually they became the commerce base of the Consortium.
Overview
The Hapans were ruled by a female sovereign known as the Queen Mother (Hapan: Ereneda), who held court at either the Fountain Palace when on Hapes, or aboard the royal transport ship Star Home when traveling abroad. The title of Queen Mother was hereditary, passed down from mother to daughter. If the Queen Mother failed to have daughters, the wife of the firstborn son became Queen Mother.
Among the founding principles of the Consortium and the Hapes Cluster was the construction as well as maintenance of a strong military.
One of the higher authorities amongst the Hapes Consortium was held by the Hapan Royal Guard. These individuals wore crimson clothing which identified their status. Prince Isolder had a private Hapan Guard led by Captain Astarta. The uniforms were one piece, and were similar to a flight suit. They were quite fitted, in addition to being deep red in color. In addition to them, an elite commando force was present in the form of of Her Majesty's Select Commandos that were tasked with important missions.
The Hapan Security acted as the primary law enforcement agency for the Consortium.
In space, Hapes was defended by the skilled Hapan Royal Navy.
