Hapes/Legends

Hapes was the homeworld of the Hapans, a near-human race, and the capital of isolationist monarchy known as the Hapes Consortium, which united the sixty-three inhabited worlds within the Hapes Star Cluster - a grouping of several hundred stars within a hard-to-navigate region of nebulous gases known as the Transitory Mists.

Hapes was the administrative capital of the Hapan monarchy, but the planetary population was only 4 million. Only a few small, neat cities were necessary to cater for the needs of the state bureaucracy and the Consortium's commercial and legal institutions, and much of the planet was an unspoilt wilderness of broad oceans, snow-peaked mountains and lush primeval forest, where tightly-controlled commecial fisheries and game-preserves were the major focus of human activity. Hapes had standard gravity, a diameter of 12,254 km, a 22 standard-hour day, and a year of 240 local days - but surrounded by shimmering nebulae, and with seven moons in the sky after sunset, Hapes never knew the darkness of true night, and the Hapan people had proverbially poor night-vision.

The planet was settled by raiders from Lorell in 4,150 BBY. In 4,050 BBY, the Lorell Raiders were defeated by the Jedi, resulting in the hatred of Jedi within the Consortium and the establishment of the matriarchial society of Hapes and the accession of the first Queen Mother. In 2,992 BBY, the Hapes Consortium closed its borders to outsiders, until in 8 ABY, New Republic Minister of State Leia Organa visited the Hapes and the Consortium opened up its borders.
