Template:Portal-HapesAF The Royal Hapan Armed Forces are also sometimes known as the Hapan Armed Forces or His Majesty's Armed Forces, sometimes legally the Armed Forces of the Crown. Their Supreme Commander is the Sovereign of the Hapes Consortium while they are managed by the Military Council of the Ministry of Defence.
The Royal Hapan Armed Forces are charged with protecting the Hapes Consortium and the Hapes Cluster, promoting the Hapan government's wider security interests. This is why the military forces of Hapes have, in the past, been dispatched to deal with foreign forces that threatened the Consortium or its foreign investments.
History
Hapan military history is long and complex even while the Royal Hapan Armed Forces have been traditionally restricted to the Hapes Cluster due to the Consortium's isolationist policies over the centuries. Though in recent years, since the partial opening of the Hapan borders in 4024, the military has been dispatched to foreign areas of space to deal with outside threats. Important conflicts in which the Hapan forces took part include Operation Horizon and the Dellalt Conflict. The military also fended off the threat of the foreign crime syndicate Black Sun during the Black Sun Crisis. Since the end of the Hapan civil war, Hapan forces have continued to be very active and bases remain spread out across the Hapes Cluster in places such as the Lorell system, the Capital, and the Alsace system.
The current structure of defence management in the Hapes Consortium was set in place in 4034 when the Ministry of Defence was re-established and a Minister of Defence was reappointed once again to serve as the representative of the Military Council on the Royal Council.
Current strength
The Hapes Consortium fields one of the most powerful, technologically advanced and comprehensive armed forces in the entire galaxy. This is partially thanks to the incredible technological advancements that occurred before and during the Dark Age and also the massive efforts and funding poured in to building up the military again after the Hapan civil war. The military employs not only unique and advanced Hapan technology, but also foreign war machines which aide in the defence of the Hapes Cluster.
The Royal Hapan Navy is likely the third most powerful naval force in the galaxy, thriving thanks to the abundance of powerful military vessels available. Thanks to the state funding given to the Olanji Corporation and its extensive shipyard complexes, the naval forces enjoy a steady supply of new Battle Dragons, Nova Battle Cruisers and other Hapan military machines.
