Hapes Consortium: A government ruled largely by women, who have forged an alliance with the Mandalorian clans to aid in their secession from the Republic. They consider the Jedi to be manipulative, and the Republic incompetent and incapable of maintaining peace. They are currently attempting to expand their area of influence to other worlds; they believe others should see their same point of view. As the Mandalorians allied with them are a combat-oriented creed, they have seen a few skirmishes in their expansions.

The Hapan matriarchy may consist largely of women in the noble class, but even the men within their culture hold themselves with the poise of kings. The Hapans are famous for exotic spacecraft with slick designs that are both beautiful and effective in combat. The leaders of this faction consider themselves most effective at politics, though some Hapans do take to combat or piloting. However, the bulk of their militant forces are made of Mandalorian soldiers, who consider this alliance a chance to prove their strength to the galaxy. While they do not think the Hapans a stronger group of warriors, the ships the Hapans produce have become a fast favorite among their pilots, and are deemed an appropriate bribe to earn the service of the clans.

In addition, the Hapans have gathered allies from some other notable neighbors. Firstly, the Zeltrons of Zeltros, while perhaps not the most notable of allies, the Zeltrons' ability to produce pheromones for the purposes of manipulation has helped in swaying others to their cause. Second, the Umbarans from Umbara, invaluable spies and, when needed, assassins of near-unparalleled skill. Lastly, the Wookiees of Kashyyyk who are powerful warriors, and whose homeworld is brimming with prime natural resources used in expanding the Hapans' influence.
