The area's coreward boundary lies approximately 15,000 light years (4,609 parsecs) north-east of the [[galactic center]], midway between the [[Colonies]] and [[Expansion Region]] in the [[Inner Rim]]. The expanse is circa 3,300 light years (1,012 parsecs) across from east to west, and 2,500 light years (766 parsecs) from north to south (defined by the extreme points of the surrounding nebula, not taking in to account the irregular borders.) Additionally, it extends approximately 1,500 light years (460 parsecs) from bottom to top on the Z-axis. Traditional educational star charts and astrographic maps give a somewhat distorted view of the Galaxy. The X-axis of maps defines a location along the east-west axis, while the Y-axis pinpoints the north-south location. But many fail to take in mind the depth of the galactic disk, where a system’s location above or below the galactic plane (or alternatively Coruscant’s location on this axis) is defined by positive or negative on a Z-axis. Compared to surrounding sectors, the Hapes Cluster is located somewhat further up on the positive scale of the Z-axis, with the bottom "footprint" starting closer to the outer edge of the thin disk, that extends from the galactic plane. Hapan scientists typically divide the Hapes Cluster into four layers: the '''Transitory Mists''', the nebulae surrounds and permeates areas of the sector; the '''Void''', interior sections of the Cluster free of impeding nebulous gasses; the '''Base''', meaning the sector "footprint" in the thin disk; and the '''Halo''', meaning the "lid" of the nebula that extends into the thick disk of the galaxy. </ins></div></td></tr>

Hapan scientists therefore differentiate between the two sections of the Transitory Mists: the '''Outer Veil''', for the surrounding nebula; and the '''Inner Veil''' for sections of nebula that divide various areas of the Hapes Cluster's astrographical regions. Furthermore, individual nicknames have been given to various parts of the Transitory Mists, typically by virtue of their distinct colors or other individual characteristics. The '''Dillaem Wall''', '''Cloak of Orelon''', '''Rivved Space''', and '''Nele'serin Arm''' are all part of the Outer Veil. Meanwhile the Inner Veil has the '''Keltros Expanse''' (between the Lorelli Reach and Corsair Outback), the '''Irrea Mist''' (between the Rifle Worlds and Gateworlds), and finally the '''Scoteian Mists''', '''Temporal Clouds''', and '''Ta'a Chume's Veil''' between the Interior and Hapan Rim Worlds.</ins></div></td></tr>

Within the Transitory Mists, there are massive rogue comets, vast asteroid fields, lone stars in close proximity, ion storms, and other impediments that makes diverging from defined hyperspace routes extremely hazardous. In part, these types of obstructions is what made widespread settlement by the Hapes Consortium go slowly across the millennia. But it has also kept the rest of galactic civilisation out of Hapan affairs, as there are few gaps in the Outer Veil that actually lead to the safe interior hyperroutes. On official charts, only the Lorell Route via Lorell and the Knot Holes and the Hapan Spine by Roqoo are listed as safe and sanctioned passages in the clouds of ionised gas and impeding hyperspace eddies.</ins></div></td></tr>

Many of the civilisations male warriors had been killed in the conflict, and on most of the settled planets the females were now in majority. The women seized the momentum to stage a revolution across the Lorellian settlements. A conflict followed that spanned four years, with the revolt led by Ta’a Chume, a female Lorellian chieftain. She united with Enilithia Nele’serin of Lorell, the great-granddaughter of an Alsakani slave and the wife of a chieftain who had died in the conflict with the Jedi. She enjoyed great respect among the settlers on Hapes and Lorell, and had her late husband’s remaining resources at her disposal, despite her gender. Together, the two drove the campaign for freedom, aided by Mairans and Morthorn warriors who were tired of paying tribute to their pirate overlords. Their efforts were eventually successful, with the women becoming dominant in Lorellian society. This led to Enilithia Nele’serin making herself Queen of Hapes after Ta’a Chume’s death, and the founding of the Hapes Consortium in 4027 BCGT. The initial member worlds were Hapes Prime, Lorell, Charubah, Gallinore, Theselon, and Baldavia - all former Lorellian colonies - as well as Maires and Vergill.</ins></div></td></tr>

The other worlds enjoyed great autonomy with internal self rule, especially in the case of the latter two who were practically devoid of human settlement. Some colonies were established on known planets along the Lorell Route and Gallinore Reach, with Cheruba, Relephon, Daruvvia, Andalia, and Ket becoming member worlds in this time period. In part colonisation efforts there were aided by extra-cluster immigration and the arrival of refugees. The latter came as a result of the Galactic Republic’s series of conflicts that took place during this time: the Great Sith War (4000-3996 BCGT), the Mandalorian Wars (3976-3960 BCGT), and the Second Sith War (3959-3956 BCGT). However, the frontiers of the Hapes Consortium were not expanded. The utilisation of the old (and now defunct) Lorellian Path hyperspace lane between Theselon and Hapes Prime - an impractical and complex route - meant that many nearby systems in close proximity of the throne world were not discovered, and also partially isolated the planet.</ins></div></td></tr>

She changed her title to be Queen Mother, with the monarchs styled in Hapan as Ta’a Chume - in honour of the revolutionary war hero who had helped bring about the founding of the Hapes Consortium. The title was also retroactively bestowed upon her predecessors. Hapes Prime also began to take a more active role in overseeing the affairs of the member worlds, attempting to consolidate a unified Hapan state. To that effect, piracy along the Consortium’s borders, raiding Mandalorian clans, and Republic worlds out for revenge for Lorellian raiding parties, played a role in providing a common enemy for the Hapans. A proper military, an army and space fleet with units contributed by the various worlds, was established, answering to the Queen Mother.</ins></div></td></tr>

Alsakani ships visited the Lorell system uninvited and a period of superficial talks ensued, in which the Alsakani delegates rained gifts on the Queen Mother and nobles. The Queen Mother finally began to warm to their ancient family, charmed by their praise and gifted treasures, eventually inviting an Alsakani delegation to tour the worlds of the Hapes Consortium, culminating in a lengthy stay in the Castle of Per’agthra on Hapes Prime itself. During this visit, the Alsakani kowtowed before the Queen Mother, officially apologized for the neglect Alsakan had shown Lorell, and expressed a desire to bring the Consortium in to the galactic community. Furthermore, the Jedi Order was condemned for its aggression towards the Lorellian population, undoubtedly a safe statement for the Alsakani given general animosity towards the Jedi since the Great Galactic War against the Sith Empire that spanned 3681-3653 BCGT. However, the Chume’doro with their advanced surveillance methods were able to reveal a different purpose for the Alsakani visit, discovering that Coruscant and Alsakan were once again at odds. A conflict was brewing and increased militarism along the Perlemian Trade Route to counter Coruscant’s development of new, more advanced battleships. Alsakan was doing its best to meet this potential threat with missile corvettes and the like, but Corellia and its vast, neutral hegemony was joining in the game with an armada of frigates. The intention of the Alsakani was to sway the Hapes Consortium to their side and bring the Hapan naval forces in to the conflict to shift the odds in Alsakan's favour.</ins></div></td></tr>

The events also brought about a partial new-found respect for the Lorell Raiders among Hapans, feeling they had in a sense liberated the humans of the Hapes Cluster from the Alsakani. But it was indeed only partial, as a distinct image of the Lorell Raiders as oppressors and slavers endured, and justly so. This love-hate view of them remains to this day. In the three millennia that followed, the Hapans were left to their own devices, expanding further within the Hapes Cluster through periods of exploration and colonisation, while also enduring a multitude of internal conflicts</ins>.</div></td></tr>

However, advances in technology, communication between civilisations and races, as well as joint research efforts, have unveiled more information in recent years. It is believed that the ancient beings known as the Celestials, who held dominion over the Galaxy some 100,000 years ago may have had an influence over the Hapes Cluster. Remnant, dormant, and unusable Celestial technology, such as Centrepoint Space Station, is a theorised instrument used to create the Corellian system, the Kathol Rift, the Maw black hole cluster, and indeed the Hapes Cluster.

For instance, the combination of numerous planets with native sentient species in the Corellia system, seemingly pulled from different locations in the Galaxy. In the case of the Hapes Cluster, the unusual attributes of the Transitory Mists, combined with the abundance of temperate worlds within that share similar geographical features, lends weight to the theory. Some scientists, primarily Hapans who have sought to elevate the significance of the sector, have referred to the Hapes Cluster as "the Celestial Vault." Archaeological evidence such as monumental pillars and mysterious inscriptions found on numerous planets lend weight to the theory that the sector was at least partially explored and settled in the distant past by some unknown race, and then abandoned for reasons unknown.

However, advances in technology, communication between civilisations and races, as well as joint research efforts, have unveiled more information in recent years. It is believed that the ancient beings known as the Celestials, who held dominion over the Galaxy some 100,000 years ago may have had an influence over the </ins>Hapes Cluster<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">. Remnant, dormant, and unusable Celestial technology, such as Centrepoint Space Station, </ins>is <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">a theorised instrument used to create the Corellian system, the Kathol Rift</ins>, <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">the Maw black hole cluster, and indeed the Hapes Cluster. The evidence of such comes from the unique and unnatural makeup of these astrographical locations</ins>, <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">where unlikely combination of celestial objects appear </ins>to <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">be more by design than natural occurrence. For instance, the combination </ins>of <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">numerous planets with native sentient </ins>species <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">in the Corellia system, seemingly pulled from different locations in the Galaxy. In the case of the Hapes Cluster, the unusual attributes of the Transitory Mists, combined with the abundance of temperate worlds within that share similar geographical features, lends weight to the theory. Some scientists, primarily Hapans who have sought to elevate the significance of the sector, have referred to the Hapes Cluster as "the Celestial Vault." Archaeological evidence </ins>such as <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">monumental pillars and mysterious inscriptions found on numerous planets lend weight to the theory that the sector was at least partially explored and settled in </ins>the <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">distant past by some unknown race, and then abandoned for reasons unknown. However, no evidence has been found to prove settlement by the Rakata Empire and their Infinite Empire as no relics present can be attributed to their known designs, though they are known to have had a presence on </ins>[[<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Onderon</ins>]], <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">which is situated in the adjacent Japrael sector.  </ins></div></td></tr>
