Fountain Palace The Fountain Palace , also known as the Castle of Per ' Agthra was the premier royal residence of the Queen Mother s who ruled the Hapes Consortium . Situated on Hapes itself , this centuries - old fortress - palace served as an ancient symbol of royal authority for the monarchy : other royal residences such as Reef Fortress were places where the Queen Mothers stayed , but Per ' agthra was the home of the Hapan monarchy . Even after Queen Mother Ta ' a Chume opened the borders of the Hapes Star Cluster to outsiders in 8 ABY , contact was scarce , and this , coupled with traditional Hapan secrecy , may be responsible for some uncertainty regarding the exact location of the palace . While most sources suggest that Per ' Agthra stood on the crags overlooking the capital city of Ta ' a Chume ' Dan , New Republic Intelligence reports said that this was in fact " Star Home " , outwardly an exact copy of the castle , but in reality a hyperspace - capable cruiser . Whatever the exact truth , the existence of " Star Home " attested to the importance of Per ' Agthra to both the family of the Mothers , and the state ceremonial of Hapan political life . The Fountain Palace remained as a private residence for the court , while a second , identical castle served as a public proxy , enabling the Mothers to hold court amid the iconic towers and turrets of their ancestral seat when they visited the other worlds of the Cluster — or even , on rare diplomatic visits , foreign capitals like Coruscant . The Hall of Masters , Royal Residence , Queen Mother ' s Special Salon , Royal Bedchamber , Queen ' s Drawing Room , and Royal Hangar were all rooms in the Palace . Behind the scenes . The equation of the Fountain Palace and the Castle of Per ' Agthra is based on the fact that both are said to be the models for " Star Home " in different sources , namely " Cracken ' s Threat Dossier " and the Wizards of the Coast online scenario " " . As intimated above , however , canon material disagrees on whether the real Fountain Palace or " Star Home " stood on the bluffs above Ta ' a Chume ' Dan . " Cracken ' s Threat Dossier " , presented as a series of in - universe intelligence reports , is the first source to describe the Hapan capital , and states explicitly that the city is dominated by " Star Home " ' s surface landing platform , but a number of other sources suggest otherwise : All of these references could , technically , be explained away : the relevant passage in " Ladies First " is extract from another in - universe source , a swashbuckling memoir by pirate Grov Bricker ; the line in " Jedi Eclipse " could be retcon ned as a hyperbolic turn of phrase , and " Dark Journey " does not use the names " Fountain Palace " , and does not explicitly exclude the possibility that the " palace " is " Star Home " . However , the apparently out - of - universe " Gamesmaster Notes " in " Ladies First " say that " Star Home " " does not have the necessary plating or shielding for atmospheric reentry " , making it likely that the NRI reports in " Cracken ' s Threat Dossier " should be regarded as incorrect , and the castle at Ta ' a Chume ' Dan is indeed the Fountain Palace .
