The planet Hapes (commonly known as Hapes Prime) is the capital world of the Hapes Consortium. It lies in the centre of the Hapes Cluster and is part of the Hapan system which makes up the Capital region. The planet is famous for its many moons that bathes the world in light all year around. Notably it is the largest temperate planet of the Hapes Cluster and is considered to be representative of all the beauty and perfection that the Hapes Consortium stands for.
The most important city on the planet is Chume'Dan where the Royal Hapan Palace along with Lorell Hall is located. Despite its size and importance, Hapes Prime has been sparsely developed in order to maintain the beauty and appearance of the planet.
History
Hapes Prime was discovered a few years after the Lorell Raiders first settled in the Lorell system during the Pre-Founding Age. They were amazed by the planet's size and beauty, but did not colonise the planet until -429. Various settlements were established on the central and southern continents which were primarily used by members of the Lorell Raiders who were not part of the raiding missions in to the Galactic Republic.
After the female uprising against the Lorell Raiders, the Hapes Consortium was founded with Hapes Prime as the capital world in year 1 of the Foundation Era (Age of Queen-Mothers). The early monarchs of the Nele'serin dynasty were simply styled Queen of Hapes, but from 57 and on, the title Queen-Mother of the Hapes Consortium was introduced.
Chume'Dan was founded with a smaller royal residence in 5. The first grandiose Royal Hapan Palace was constructed during the First Expansion Era on orders from Queen-Mother Arxianic II. Most of the cities on Hapes Prime were located around the capital city with the purpose of supplying the Royal Family with goods or providing residences for servants and dignitaries. There were some minor settlements on the other continents which eventually developed in to larger cities, such as Haporium and Basington.
Lorell Hall a giant building devoted to administrative purposes and the meetings of nobility and governors was completed in 2449. It was built on the northern hill of Ta'a Chume'Dan, overlooking the Royal Hapan Palace and the Star Home.
During the Dark Age and Hapan civil war, the planet was made the target of numerous attacks in various attempts to seize the throne. Most of the assaults failed in the beginning phases as the attacking troops were unable to fortify their positions on the planet. The last battle for Hapes Prime was the only successful one, resulting in the Phoenix Movement seizing the planet.
During the Phoenix Age and later Golden Age, the few damaged cities on the planet were quickly rebuilt and renovated. The last city to receive renovation was Haporium which became a cultural memorial in 4033.
