The Regent is not the Sovereign's successor; in the case when the Sovereign can no longer rule, the Regent shall rule in his or her place until the heir to the throne is fit to rule.

The '''Hapes Consortium''' is a galactic government in the [[Star Wars Combine]]. Its foundation date, [[Year 1|Year -1 Day 28]], stems from its creation by Andrew Starfyre in the [[Star Wars Simulation]] (SWSIM), the spiritual predecessor of the Combine which existed circa 1997.

Aside from the Sovereign, the Royal Council is the highest executive body over the Hapes Consortium. The Royal Council is the Sovereign's cabinet, and is tasked with assisting and advising the Sovereign in all affairs of governance. The Council consists of the Ministers of the Crown of their respective Hapan ministries, and is presided over by the Prime Minister.

The Hapes Consortium is a sovereign state located in the Hapes Cluster, one of the Inner Rim sectors, near the Stenness Node. The Hapes Consortium is an autocratic monarchy currently led by King Jessy James with the support of Lorell Hall and the Royal Council. It is one of the four governments that make up the Imperial Union.

History

Age of the Queen Mothers

Sometimes referred to as the first golden age of the Hapes Consortium, the Queen Mothers ruled over Hapes for nearly four thousand years with nine specific eras and ten dynasties. Treasures the Lorell Raiders had robbed from outside worlds were used to purchase defences and goods to build up an actual peaceful society within the Hapes Cluster. Some decades were spent indoctrinating new ideals and ideas in to the minds of the population and it was not until after three to four centuries that the Consortium began to change in to more familiar form with noble families, a class ruled society with feudal control and an actual space fleet.

The civilisation grew over time, slowly expanding across the Hapes Cluster, not needlessly disturbing the nature on worlds where human presence was not needed. To the female Hapans the balance of nature and civilisation was extremely important, as were the ideals of beauty and perfection. The military grew stronger, as did the power of the royalty and nobility. Sentient species who were native to the cluster were annexed and made part of Hapan society, often in lesser roles as servants and slaves. Religion was also banned in order to cement the idea of the Queen-Mother being the ultimate power of the Hapan peoples.

By the end of the final dynasty, the last Queen-Mother fell in to a coma without designating a heir. This triggered a massive military conflict due to the vulnerability of the Hapan feudal system. Corrupt and power hungry nobility joined under the banners of those who would make a claim for the Hapan throne and plunged the Consortium in to an extensive conflict.

Government and politics

The Hapes Consortium is a constitutional monarchy: King James is the head of state, who reigns from the Royal Hapan Palace in the city of Chume'Dan on the capital planet of Hapes. As Sovereign, he holds all executive and legislative power over the governance of the Consortium. All formal actions executed by the government at all levels are done so in the name of the Sovereign. The Royal Council, however, holds the responsibility of all actions executed by the government. The Sovereign holds exclusive authority to appoint ministers at all levels, at his discretion.

The Regent of the Hapes Consortium serves as the administrator of Consortium, often alongside or in place of the Sovereign, and most commonly when the Sovereign is either absent, incapacitated or is a minor and unable to rule. The Regent serves directly under the Sovereign, and thus his authority and word is considered of the Sovereign's. The Regent is not the Sovereign's successor; in the case when the Sovereign can no longer rule, the Regent shall rule in his or her place until the heir to the throne is fit to rule.

Aside from the Sovereign, the Royal Council is the highest executive body over the Hapes Consortium. The Royal Council is the Sovereign's cabinet, and is tasked with assisting and advising the Sovereign in all affairs of governance. The Council consists of the Ministers of the Crown of their respective Hapan ministries, and is presided over by the Prime Minister. Ministers are appointed by the King with advice and consultation from the Prime Minister. The Royal Council is made up of the Ministries of Justice, External Affairs, Defence, Industry, Finance, Intelligence, and Culture.

The Chamber of Lords is the upper Planetary Council for the Lords of the Hapes Consortium. Here they meet to discuss local issues within the systems that they govern. The Archons of the Curia Council function as advisors and aides to the Lords in every day matters.

The Curia is the lower Planetary Council for the Archons of the Hapes Consortium. The Archons, the equivalent of Imperial Moffs, meet to discuss local security issues and development projects. They report to the Royal Council, but have to respect the higher authority that the Lords hold within their respective systems.

The Court of King's Bench is where high profile court cases are brought if they cannot be settled in a local court of law. The amount of judges or presence of a jury depends heavily on the nature of the case. It is subordinate of the Ministry of Justice.

In addition the government maintains a Civil Service which functions as a general workers pool for the different government institutions.
