Ministry of Industry
Royal League of Commerce
The Royal League of Commerce functions as an oversight committee for industrial affairs, ensuring coordination of activities between the Ministry of Industry, its departments and the Crown Corporations that are owned by the Hapan state that have their specific areas of responsibility in the key industrial processes. It is headed by the Minister of Industry, with attendance limited to the relevant key government officials and the Crown Corporate leadership.
The name, the Royal League of Commerce, refers to its original purpose, as it was created to bring together privately-owned ventures, nationalized companies, and fully state owned and managed entities under a single umbrella organization focused on supporting their growth and interactions with Hapes itself. Since then, the lines between nationalized and Crown companies have become blurred and the distinction lost most if not all of its original significance; Nationalized companies are now understood to be those Crown corporations that originally were not state-owned enterprises, and Crown corporations as a term now encompasses all those state-owned companies that primarily if not exclusively provide services to the Hapes Consortium, and are formally recognized as part of the government structure.
In effect, the League has transitioned to serve as a board of directors for the Ministry of Industry and its department heads, with external commercial partnerships and joint ventures with the Hapan government handled via a separate medium. Such consolidation of its premise has not seen its importance dimmed, however, as the League helps oversee and coordinate virtually all vital industrial operations from mineral prospection to mining and logistics, be they related to civil engineering and major infrastructure projects, or to the military industrial complex.

The Manufacturing Division is the backbone of the corporation's industrial wing, specializing in the day to day operations of preparing, retooling and managing the vast array of shipyards at their disposal. The Research & Development Division is charged with designing and researching newer versions of the company's product line, as well as inventing entirely new designs for future use by the Hapes Consortium. Finally, the Royal Hapan Support Corps is an auxiliary military division tasked with handling the company's logistical duties, such as shuttling raw materials from mines to production sites, as well as moving ships, vehicles, and entities of all kind utilizing the finest haulers and carriers available. Employment by Olanji/Charubah also guarantees citizenship in the Hapes Consortium, with all the perks and privileges that come with it.

Over the last few decades the corporation has been responsible for turning dreams in to reality by providing the Consortium's central government with the means to protect the sanctity of Hapan space with a new line of modern vessels. With a keen eye for combining practical use and versatility with finesse and firepower, Olanji/Charubah's line of products is the envy of many rival corporations, and strikes fear in to hearts of the Hapes Consortium's enemies. The superior speed, as well as defensive and offensive capabilities of the Battle Dragon makes the unique, saucer-shaped capital ship an excellent mainstay for the Royal Hapan Armed Forces, especially when escorted by the equally swift Nova Battle Cruisers. The velocity of the Miy'Til Interceptors and the firepower of the Hetrinar Assault Bomber complement the Consortium's capital ships, provide a deadly superior edge in a dogfight. Meanwhile the sleek design of the Atlas Troop Transport Shuttle combines cargo space with passenger capacity and speed for versatility useful in a variety of missions.
