Hapes Cluster

The Hapes Cluster was an unusually dense region of 63 star systems, with 63 inhabited worlds. It was named after its central world, Hapes. It was settled by the Lorell Raiders, who later became the Hapans, a sub-species of Humans. The Cluster laid within the Transitory Mists barrier, which has kept it isolated since before 3,000 BBY. The Hapes Consortium governed it.

This region's density of stars (which project the light) and moons (which reflect it) bathe its worlds in constant, bright daylight. This has caused the Hapans to lose most of their night vision.
