The Hapan Ministry of the Interior

In the governmental district of the capital city of Hapes lies the enormous compound that functions as the headquarters of the Hapan Ministry of the Interior. Surrounded by a large park, the white stone building is a monument in itself. Shaped like a square with a smaller park that is open in the centre, the building’s roof is extended out over a walkway in the surrounding park, held up by marble pillars. The architecture is archaic from the time of the Queen Mothers that ruled the Hapes Consortium long ago.

In front of the entrance to the building is an open square where the microscopic tiles, made of rare Hapan stones from the fifth moon, have been laid down in the ground in the shape of images. Going clockwise, they show you a timeline of events in Hapan history from the founding of the Hapes Consortium to present date. Situated in the centre of the square is a large fountain of solid Hapan gold. Statues of the eight greatest Queen Mothers of the Hapes Consortium hold up a globe which symbolises the planet Hapes itself as waters pours out of the top of it.

The building itself is divided in to four wings. North, south, east and west.

In the north wing, recruiters and scrutineers work day and night, finding new ways to attract sentients to join the ranks of the Consortium, and ensuring that those let in will not endanger the Hapes Consortium’s safe and secure environment.

In the eastern wing, analysts study data received from a variety of sources to uncover the details and history of various individuals and groups which have gained the attention of the Internal Security Services.

In the western wing, experts lawyers study the laws, codes and appendicies of the Consortium, rooting out any potential loop holes for removal by the Royal Council, and searching for the best ways to defend or prosecute those brought before the Hapan Courts.

In the south wing, the Minister himself and his overseers administer the ministry’s countless operations throughout the Hapes Consortium. From upkeep of the national personnel records, to signing warrants of wanted felons, to the arrangements for the latest High Court hearing, to approving the latest edition of the Hapan Star. Their goal is to preserve the security of Hapes and further Hapan internal affairs so that citizens can enjoy themselves in the knowledge they are safe, well looked after and provded with all the activities and resources to satisfy even the most excitement-hungry sentient.
