Template:UnderConstruction Template:Portal-HapesAF The Royal Hapan Army is the oldest service of the Royal Hapan Armed Forces and is an enormous versatile ground force devoted to the security and defense of the Hapes Consortium. It was founded as an official branch of the Hapes Consortium in year 13, during the Foundation Era when the Consortium consisted only of Lorell and Hapes Prime.
Unlike the Royal Hapan Navy, the ground forces maintained a fairly constant structure throughout the Age of Queen-Mothers and was always considered an important part of the Hapes Consortium due to the job opportunities it provided for all Hapans who wanted it. From 702 when Queen-Mother Tini'duran III introduced the idea of the feudal nobility system, the army was partially split with some divisions working under a central commoner command called the Consortium Army while noble houses maintained large planetary garrisons called the Noble Army. During the Phoenix Age and later Golden Age, the Royal Hapan Army has been reformed numerous times to become a more effective and versatile fighting force in line with the Consortium's needs in modern times.
