Lorell Raiders

The Lorell Raiders, or Hapan Pirates (as they would come to be called), are a group of pirates who colonized the Hapes Cluster some time before 4,000 BBY, whence originated the sub-species of Hapan humans. They learned of safe routes through the hazardous Transitory Mists barrier that surrounded the Cluster, and took refuge there along with a number of abductees. Many of them were killed when they ventured out and were defeated by Republic forces led by the Jedi, prompting the transition to a matriarchal society amongst the Hapans.
