Hapan Royal House

The Hapan Royal House was the ruling family of the Hapes Consortium throughout its history. The house was matrilineal, and began with La'a Ban, who took control of the Hapes Cluster following the destruction of the Lorell Raiders by the Jedi led by Arca Jeth. The women of Hapes vowed to never be ruled by men again, and so instituted the royal house with a Queen Mother at the head.
The Queen Mother held court at either the Fountain Palace on Hapes, or the immense royal transport ship Star Home. The title was passed from mother to daughter, in the absence of a daughter the wife of the firstborn son would take the title. To be in the line of succession made one a target of assassination attempts by jealous relatives vying for the throne.
In addition to the Queen Mother, the Royal Court voted on matters of importance and give updates on any political or social climates that would need the Queen Mother's attention. The Royal Court was filled with representatives from Consortium member planets. The Queen Mother had the final say, and her word was considered law.
