The Hapes Consortium

Hapes Arrival Guide & Map of the Cluster

Introducing Hapes

Hapes Consortium (E Hapes Enexilanthius) is an ancient monarchy holding dominion over a relatively small sector of space known as the Hapes Cluster, wrapped within a dense nebulae called the Transitory Mist, situated in the Inner Rim of the galaxy.

It has been only some decades since a bloody civil war brought an end to the millennia long reign of the famed Queen Mothers, and to their strict policy of isolationism. In that time, Hapes Consortium has rebuilt, emerging from its prior isolationism as a reluctant, if arguably significant player in galactic politics. The government maintains a neutral non-expansionist stance, balancing preserving its traditions and cultural identity with its newfound interests and responsibilities as a major regional power in the galaxy.

Hapes Consortium is a government faction - a player driven group - in the Star Wars Combine online game. Established more than two decades ago and being among the very first groups in the game, Hapes may have been briefly ridiculed for its youthful aspirations, but it did not take long for it to become established with a distinct identity and formidable presence of its own.

Whatever Hapes' successes in the past, as a group our story continues to be written, and we continue to strive to improve, to build towards a better future. As one of the four designated Core groups within the game, regardless of your experience or character's attributes, we want to try to provide the best possible introduction into the game, for new players and oldies alike.

So if you came here seeking new horizons, we hope you will enjoy perusing these pages. Should you have any questions that remain afterwards, don't hesitate to get in touch with us through our Recruitment Liaisons directly, or through our public Discord.

Military Service

Royal Hapan Armed Forces are the stalwart defenders of the ancient kingdom known as Hapes Consortium. They protect the borders of the Hapes Cluster by standing guard over the pathways leading through the Transitory Mists, but also patrol the skies of the hundred worlds that reside within, defending the peace and the homes of countless billions of inhabitants.

Graduates from the Star Home Academy who wish to serve in the Royal Hapan Armed Forces can initially choose between two branches for their placement;

Royal Hapan Navy

The Royal Hapan Navy (RHN), once the third most powerful navy in the galaxy, remains a force the be reckoned with to this very day. Its proud traditions speak of its historical roots, but it is the combination of extensive training and the considerable firepower at its disposal, that assures it is firmly planted in the present day.

Comprised of several fleets, each with their designated purpose and specific force composition, the Navy flies a wide variety of vessels from the sleek Hapan fighter designs to the heaviest capital-class warships known to modern civilization. Guarding the entryways into the Cluster and patrolling its far reaches, stationed above populous worlds but also operating from forward bases in deep space, the Royal Hapan Navy is rarely witnessed outside of its home sector due to Hapes Consortium’s traditionalist stance on isolationism.

Royal Hapan Marines

The Royal Hapan Marines (RHMC) are the mobile mechanized infantry and armoured planetary assault forces of the Hapan armed forces, distinct and independent from both their Navy and Army brethren. They train and operate in the hostile environments of exotic and beautiful planets, in urban and confined spaces, as well as in the vacuum of space, striving towards unhindered proficiency in all conditions.

Whether called to carry out boarding actions on hostile capital-class warships, or to rapidly retaliate against foreign invasion forces landing on Hapan soil, Marines will not hesitate to display why they are considered the hammer to the Army’s anvil.

Government Career

Overseen by the Royal Council, the Hapan government is formed of various ministries, which in turn manage the work of numerous departments, nationalized Crown Corporations, and other organizations under their purview - each with their own specific responsibilities and mandates. Those ministries today are Defence, External Affairs, Finance, Industry, Intelligence, and the Interior.

While most ministries are able to accommodate hiring enthusiastic Star Home Academy graduates with promise, it is the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of the Interior, that are the recommended initial destinations for aspiring government civil servants;

Ministry of Industry

Ministry of Industry (MoInd) oversees the government's vast industrial and infrastructure operations as well as research programs, including material prospecting, mining, manufacturing, production processes, urban planning and infrastructure construction, as well as related logistics and labour matters. It coordinates operations with the nationalized Crown Corporations through the Royal League of Commerce.

Its main departments are:
- Department of Infrastructure oversees civil engineering, and construction and logistics coordination.
- Olanji/Charubah as a separate faction, operates as the Department of Production, managing manufacturing & production, and related logistics.
- Endara Mining Corporation as a separate faction, operates as the Department of Resources, managing prospection, mining, and related logistics.

Ministry of the Interior

Ministry of the Interior (MotI), often referred to as the backbone of the government, has a vast range of responsibilities. These include recruitment, admissions, education, culture, internal security and law enforcement, legislation, judiciary and planetary government oversight, as well as government personnel affairs.

In addition to these, it also manages community events and roleplay, news reporting, member graphics, as well as Hapan information technologies, including website design, coding, and general IT support.

As a result, many Out of Character skills are very useful for the ministry, and many of its departments support part time positions, allowing members of the military and other branches to partake in helping out with its activities!
