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 defence 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.
History
For a more detailed history on the ground forces prior to the Phoenix Age, see History of the Hapes Consortium's ground forces, Royal Hapan Army during the Age of Queen-Mothers and Hapes Consortium's ground forces during the Hapan civil war.
During the years following the Hapan civil war, the Royal Hapan Army was a loose union of the remnant armies of the Draconian Union primarily, along with the remnants of the Phoenix Movement. It proved initially difficult to keep the peace on former worlds of the Sword Confederacy and Phoenix Movement when old Draconian Union troops were deployed there. As it took time to manufacture new neutral Hapes Consortium uniforms, many local populations were suspicious towards the troops. Eventually things settled, but some officers who came from opposite sides had trouble getting along. Hence HapSec was founded to help keep the peace on installations and facilities in the Capital region of the Hapes Cluster. It employed primarily individuals who wished to immigrate to the Hapes Consortium and had no knowledge of the conflict that had taken place.
