Raid on Reef Fortress

In 23 ABY, some Bartokk assassins hired by Yfra raided Reef Fortress in an attempt to assassinate the Queen Mother of Hapes, Ta'a Chume. The queen was rescued by Jedi trainees Tenel Ka, Lowbacca, and Jacen and Jaina Solo.

Prelude
In 23 ABY, Jedi trainees Lowbacca, Jacen and Jaina Solo arrived on the planet Hapes to visit their friend Tenel Ka. They stayed at Fountain Palace, the royal residence of the Hapan Queen Mother, until a bomb went off in the dining hall where they were to eat. Because of this danger, the youths were sent to Reef Fortress, a private, isolated sanctuary of the Hapan Royal House which was located on a small island in the Hapan ocean. There, the friends were guarded by Yfra, who was personal ambassador of the Hapan matriarch Ta'a Chume, and some Hapan Honor Guards.

Later, Ambassador Yfra suggested that the young Jedi should take a short trip out on the ocean in a wavespeeder. Unbeknownst by the youths, Yfra programmed this wavespeeder to bring them into an area of dangerous carnivorous seaweed because she wanted to kill them as part of her plot to overtake the Hapan monarchy. However, Tenel Ka, Lowbacca, Jacen, and Jaina were able to escape from the seaweed and manually drive the wavespeeder back to the island. Soon after, Ta'a Chume returned to Reef Fortress in her royal wavespeeder.
