Hapes Cluster

The Hapes Cluster was a grouping of several hundred stars within the Inner Rim that were controlled by the Hapes Consortium. Hyperspace navigation within the region was impeded by the density of celestial bodies located there and as a result the cluster was isolated from the rest of the galaxy. The Consortium possessed great riches and maintained a military arm that allowed them to keep the cluster effectively independent.
