I know some names of other planets...

Arabanth
Charubah (the Gun of Command came from here)
Dreena
Gallinore
Hapes
Selab
Ut

I don't remember the rest of the gifts, I just remember the Gun of Command because it's so much fun. XD

Just making a circuit of the social threads wanting to give a heads up regarding the Fan Fiction Survey after a user informed me that had they not been told of it, she wouldn't have noticed the sticky on the Resource board.

If I remember correctly, Gallinore is where Tenel Ka obtained her lightsaber crystal. Has it been said if Tenel Ka has visited most of her worlds? Is there a tradition of the Queen Mother staying on Hapes for most of her rule? I remember reading about the city-size royal vessel of the Queen Mother. I can’t recall if I was reading fan fiction or fact files. I think it would be safe for the Queen Mother to visit her worlds in her city ship.

What’s the Gun of Command?

Ams love

Gun of command is that thing that Han zapped Leia with when kidnapping her in CoPL, right? A gift from the Hapes Cluster to persuade Leia into accepting their offer?

The Gun of Command is a specialized hand weapon which paralyzes the target's higher brain functions and renders the victim completely susceptible to direction from others. This weapon was developed by the Hapes Consortium, and Imperial tacticians adopted this weapon for our own use during the Imperial Resurgence (ref. SWE).

It releases a seemingly harmless spray of blue sparks, but after the weapon has been discharged at an enemy, the enemy's brain functions are altered in such a manner that he will stand motionless until he is given an order. Soldiers who have been immobilized in this manner generally follow any orders that they are given, so they can be instructed to turn on their own comrades. The tactical effectiveness of this weapon cannot be overstated. It has the ability to rapidly nullify a numerical disadvantage, and there is no way to quantify the psychological effect of seeing your own comrades firing back at you.

And yeah, Han used it on Leia in CoPL. grin

I've been recently flipping through CoPL, saw the bit about the Gun of Command, and I had to wonder why that weapon never got used against the Vong; true, wiping out most of the Hapan Fleet at Fondor might have destroyed a lot of their weapons but it irks me that something like this gets completely ignored/forgotten in the rest of the EU. Is it possible the Gun of Command would not work against a Vong (i.e. its only designed to work on humans)?

Has it been said if Tenel Ka has visited most of her worlds?

Hmm, I haven't read anything that says she has or has not. More than likely she's spent most of her time on Hapes since that's the richest planet in the Cluster (I think).

Just thought I'd let you know, if anyone wants info on TK's background, I mapped out a family tree on [link=geocities.com/takaishi_blackwings]my site[/link]. As far as I know, that's the most inclusive one ever done.

This is from Cracken's Threat Dossier, a West End Games publication published in 1997.

The Hapan Cluster is a large body of star systems, surrounded by huge, gaseous rifts known as the Transitory Mists...

The Hapan Consortium has only so far managed to colomize sixty-three of these planets, though perhaps dozens more remain to be discovered and settled...

There are four distinct regions within the Hapan Cluster: The Interior, the Rifle Worlds, the Rim Worlds and the Transitory Mists Region...


There's a description of each region, but I've gotta get my fics typed up. I'll type them up...sometime.

That's awesome what you've got there, Striker, with the details to the Hapes System. While I knew a bit about the Mists, it's nice to be able to get more information.

So, just to kick discussion back off, let's talk about Ta'a Chume. She's always a good subject to get talking about.

How do you think Ta'a Chume would affect a relationship between Jacen and Tenel Ka? How would they behave towards one another if she began to interfere with their lives?

She didn't really trust Isolder's choice of bride, so I don't think it'd be much different in Tenel Ka's case. She would feel that a Jedi would be harder to restrain in the rigid matriarchal society that is Hapes.

SilSolo: Nice map; it's a helpful reference. happy

As for Ta'a Chume -- according to the Unoffical SW Encyclopedia -- "Despite her position as former Queen Mother, Ta'a Chume was arrested and charged with the murder to Teneniel Djo".

At the end of DJ I got the impression that Tenel Ka was basically going to strip her grandmother of all her power, and that Ta'a Chume is basically out of the picture in Hapan politics. Well, probably not entirely since she's a sneaky one, but at the very least I'd expect Ta'a Chume to be under "house arrest" somewhere and out of Tenel Ka's hair for the most part. I think I remember reading (CoPL) that simply threatening the Queen Mother will get you executed, so Ta'a Chume should be counting her lucky stars to still be alive after being part of murdering her daughter-in-law.

I personally have a hard time believing that Ta'a Chume didn't have some kind of a contingency plan in place where she couldn't be kept charged under Hapan law. But how could she have done it?

Plot bunny stirring, anyone?
