Hapan Royal Navy The Hapan Royal Navy , also known as the Consortium Navy , was the space fleet of the Hapes Consortium , a sovereign monarchy based in the Hapes Cluster of the Inner Rim . History . The Hapan Royal Navy had its origins in the Lorell Raiders , a band of pirate s who raided Galactic Republic shipping from the concealment of the Transitory Mists that isolated the Cluster . After the pirate fleet was virtually annihilated by the Jedi , a matriarchal monarchy headed by a Queen Mother arose on Hapes and began to subdue the other planets within the Cluster . By approximately 3100 BBY , the newly - unified Hapes Consortium sealed its borders upon the command of the reigning Queen Monther . At around this time , the Navy ' s primary role became focused on defending the Consortium ' s borders against smugglers , pirates , and other intruders . It is also likely the Navy participated in subduing the rebellious Rifle Worlds when they attempted to secede from the Consortium sometime between 3000 BBY and 8 ABY . While there are no records of major confrontations between the Hapan Navy and the Imperial Starfleet during the reign of the Galactic Empire , there were a number of skirmishes . In 0 ABY , a small Imperial fleet under the command of Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik violated the Consortium ' s borders on the orders of Emperor Palpatine . The force arrived above Hapes proper before it proceeded to Andalia , where it was destroyed by the Hapan Royal Navy . An Imperial snoopship later succeeded in recovering Teshik . Other military encounters between the two powers resulted in the Hapan capture of several Imperial Star Destroyers . In 8 ABY , an honor guard detachment from the Consortium Navy accompanied Prince Isolder to New Republic capital of Coruscant in the Chume ' da ' s bid for the hand of Princess Leia Organa Solo . Later that year , the Hapan Royal Navy fought against Warlord Zsinj at the Battle of Dathomir . After the battle , the Consortium entered into an alliance with the New Republic . However , the Hapan Treaty made clear that the Hapan Fleet would remain independent from the New Republic Defense Fleet , as the vast majority of the Hapes Consortium preferred to remain a smaller cog in galactic affairs rather than risk being seen as a political rival to the New Republic . In 25 ABY , Ambassador Solo approached the Consortium for assistance in the struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong . After a rancorous debate , the Consortium committed the Hapan Royal Navy to the conflict . The Hapan fleet mustered at Commenor alongside a New Republic flotilla under the command of Commodore Turk Brand in anticipation of a Yuuzhan Vong attack on nearby Corellia . However , the attack came at Fondor . The joint task force soon arrived at the planet , where they quickly arrayed themselves for battle . However , three - fourths of the Hapan Navy was destroyed when Thrackan Sal - Solo fired Centerpoint Station at the Yuuzhan Vong fleet . Some survivors of the Fondor debacle deserted and subsequently became pirates . By 27 ABY , secret shipyards concealed within the Transitory Mists had rebuilt the Consortium Navy . Under the temporary command of Colonel Jagged Fel , these forces repelled a Yuuzhan Vong invasion force . In 28 ABY , a Hapan Royal Navy task force under the command of Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo helped annihilate a Yuuzhan Vong fleet at the Second Battle of Obroa - skai . The Hapan Navy also participated in the Recapture of Coruscant . During the Dark Nest Crisis , a Consortium task force under Dukat Aleson Gray supported The Colony at the Battle of Qoribu . In 40 ABY , Corellia attempted to draw the Consortium into its camp with an assassination attempt against Queen Mother Tenel Ka and her heir . The plan was to have a pro - Corellian faction take the Queen Mother ' s place . Three Corellian Dreadnaught s joined the rebel Hapan fleet , but support from the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet helped the loyalist Navy stop the coup . During the Second Galactic Civil War , the Consortium Navy provided critical support to the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances . The Hapan Home Fleet fought under Galactic Alliance Guard Colonel and aspirant Sith Lord Jacen Solo at the Battle of Kuat against the rebellious Confederation . However , when Solo began to raze Kashyyyk in order to lure enemy forces away from Kuat , Queen Mother Tenel Ka withdraw her fleets and supported the Jedi Coalition . The Hapan Navy fought against Solo at the Battle of Kashyyyk and the Battle of Uroro Station . The Hapes Consortium was neutral during the Sith – Imperial War and the Second Imperial Civil War . Organization . Circa 8 ABY , Isolder described the forces of Hapes as " billions of warriors , thousands of starships . " During the build up prior to the Battle of Dathomir , Prince Isolder called a group of " about eighty destroyers " a Hapan fleet . While vague , these comments give some insight to their Order of Battle comparable to other space navies . The Hapan Royal Navy was centered around a fleet of hundreds of Hapan Battle Dragon s , with an honor fleet containing sixty - three , one representing each member planet of the Consortium . They were backed up by " Nova " - class battle cruisers and Beta Cruiser s , as well as X - Wings , Miy ' til starfighter s , and Miy ' til assault bomber s . Tactics and Technology . To counteract the slow recharge rate of Hapan turbolaser s , Naval officers bunched warships together to create walls of fire to cripple enemy ships in swift assaults . If a unit did not destroy all enemies in the first pass , it ran the risk of taking heavy fire while its weapons recycled . Despite the Hapan ' s growing relationship with the New Republic from 8 ABY forward , they did not negotiate an exchange of turbolaser technology until 25 ABY , when it was used as an incentive to bring the Hapan military into the Yuuzhan Vong War .
