	The Nightsisters would probably like the female ruling government, at least. I guess I could see some Nightsisters despising Hapes, but others looking at it as an opportunity, perhaps. But Nightsisters and Hapans are both power-hungry (a generalization). It would be rather interesting to read about what they think. As for Tenel Ka protecting Dathomir from Hapes's influence, well, I don't really know how she would do it, but I have no doubt that she'd find a way. MTFBWY Dathomiran

	Ish kinda late, but what the heck is a fringer? And I'd say Tenel Ka wouldn't bring Dathomir(sp?) into Hapes. She'd rule it seperately, if at all. But I'd say that at the first chance she got, she'd give the Crown of Hapes to a daughter/sister/randompasserby, and go back to Dathomir(sp?). -----signature----- Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies Heaven doesn’t want me, hell’s afraid I’ll take over.

	Randompasserby? Don't you think that's a little . . . unsafe? Tenel Ka may not like politics, but I think she's more cautious than that. lol. Eventually, I could see her willingly passing the crown down to a daughter, though.

	Yeah, but she doesn't like ruling Hapes. And thanks... I'm never gonna use that info., but whatever. I get curious sometimes. Did she have a chance to pass it on in NJO? 'Cuz I never read the whole series and never will. -----signature----- Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies Heaven doesn’t want me, hell’s afraid I’ll take over. I <3 Carth, Jacen, and GIR!

	She's had more than one opportunity to hand over power...once to Jaina Solo, and she's several cousins that could take power, but she didn't just inherit the throne--she chose to do so to defend Hapes. -----signature----- Carrolé, Handmaiden of the Crest Not even your deepest secrets escape the NRI: So Much For Our Happy Endings: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=23843466&brd=10477

	Sorry about taking so long with this. Here's some more infro on both Hapes and Dathomir. Source is, as usual, Cracken's Threat Dossier. Much like Coruscant, Hapes is a planet that never sleeps. As the bureaucratic center for the entire Hapan Cluster, all Hapan member worlds have an embassy here. By law, all major financial and business transactions conducted within the domain of the Hapes Consortium must be performed on Hapes proper. Most major corporations have a branch office on Hapes... The Hapes Transit Authority handles more than 2,000 starships a day... Hapes is dominated by lush forests and majestic mountain ranges. The cities are stately and its factories impeccably clean-as mandated by Hapan Consortium law. Outside the cities, much of Hapes wildlife remains undisturbed. Hunting is strictly regulated, as is the planet's thriving fishing industry. In the center of Hapes' largest city-"Ta'a Chume'Dan or "Queen Mother's Residence-lies a large, mountain-like structure. It is on this platform that the space vessel Star Home (NRI Security File: 94213.9421:991) rests while Ta'a Chume holds court. Hapes Type: Terrestrial Temperature: Temperate Atmosphere: Type 1 Hydrosphere: Moderate Gravity: Standard Terrain: Mountain Length of Day: 22 standard hours Length of Year: 240 local days Sapient species: (N) Humans: Hapans Starport: Imperial Class Population: 4 million* Planet Function: Government, homeworld Government: Monarchy (Hapan Royal Family) Tech Level: Space Major Exports: None Major Imports: Luxury Goods *Pretty sure that's not accurate, but included for the sake of...completeness? Probably meant to be 4 billion or something like that. I will type up Dathomir's stuff tonight, mostly because I have to go and get ready for work now. -----signature----- E-married to the wonderful DarthIshtar. Now also her Padawan. Member of the Y.J.K.

	I'm not real sure about that. I figure you could make up anything that really sounded good if you wanted to. Too bad the Unofficial Encyclopedia is offline, they might have known. ~Carr -----signature----- Carrolé, Handmaiden of the Crest Not even your deepest secrets escape the NRI: So Much For Our Happy Endings: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=23843466&brd=10477

	I've never heard of any other clan names. You could just make them up pretty easily. Just make it 'woodsy'. And lo and behold, I can do Dathomir's info now! Again, Cracken's Threat Dossier. Dathomir is a relatively small planet capable of supporting human life. There are three moderately large continents, ranging in terrain from jungles to deserts to snow-capped mountains. Its gravity is just slightly less than Coruscant standard and considered rather pleasant by most offworlders. From the willowy-thin trees that tower as high as eighty meters from the ground, to the giant wuffa worms (NRI Security File: 777655:09:87.1) who burrow beneath the surface, life on Dathomir is in abundance... In addition, the planet has numerous other forms of wildlife: drebbin, ssurrians, burra fish... Human offworlders may experience a burning sensation in their sinuses, a sympton of the planet's high level of (for lack of a better term) "life force". As luck would have it, a remarkable find was made on Koratas, Dathomir's fourth moon. Digging through the thick, red-tinted soil, Imperial scientists stumbled across several rich veins of neutronium, lommite and zersium. These minerals are the primary components in the alloy known as durasteel, the most common warship-grade armor used in Imperial ship construction. Dathomir Type: Terrestrial Temperature: Temperate Atmosphere: Type One Hydrosphere: Moderate Gravity: Slightly less than standard Terrain: Desert, forest, jungle, mountain Length of day: 24 standard hours Length of year: 491 local days Sapient Species: Humans, Rancor Mutants Starport: Limited services (Imperial Prison) Government: Tribal (New Republic allied) Tech Level: Stone, Space (Imperial Prison) Major Exports: None Major Imports: None I'd take the neutronium one with a grain of salt. The writer of this doesn't know just how dense neutronium really is, or the fact that it's ejected from stars...or something like that. -----signature----- E-married to the wonderful DarthIshtar.

	one teaspoon of neutronium would be about 10 billion tons on earth. Its safe to say that there probably isn't any on dathomir. -----signature----- Shadows of the Unknown: http://boards.theforce.net/Beyond_the_Saga/b10477/18120474/?6 Virtual little brother of Jesina_Dreis

	Quote from this website: Extraordinarily sophisticated technology is one thing . . . far be it from me to dispute Clarke. However, Warsies are claiming that you can kick the dirt on a moon and stub your toe on neutronium. They are claiming that somehow, magically, neutronium has escaped from a neutron star and decided to bury itself just under the surface of a moon. At no point is this moon referred to as being ultradense, ultramagnetic, ultragravitational, et cetera. It's just a moon, and once you kick some dirt away, you don't find an iron shell of a neutron star, nosirree bob, you kick straight to neutronium, conveniently disguised as a vein of some heavy metallic element. Further, when the hell did compressed neutrons become a metallic element? You can look all day on the periodic table and not find a metallic element called neutronium, or sharing any of the characteristics of neutronium, for the simple reason that every metallic (or even non-metallic) element, by default, has protons and electrons, whereas real neutronium doesn't! I got curious . It makes me think that SW EU fact book authors get their facts out of thin air. That population of four million must be a typo. It wouldn’t be much of a capital planet with four million. Thanks for typing that up, Striker! I’ll include it in the first mass update later today.

	Oh, god! I've got that site bookmarked! Yeah, there's no way neutronium is found on that moon. -----signature----- E-married to the wonderful DarthIshtar. Now also her Padawan. Member of the Y.J.K.

	Ahh, continuity snaffles and improbabilities. Tastes like bread and butter pudding to this little Ewok... Well, here's the way I'd fix it... There's no reason why Hapes should have a large surface-side population - the Consortium is primarily an interstellar monarchy sustained by a powerful military, after all - in CoPL the individual worlds seem quite autonomous and distinctive... think of it as a sort of Star Wars Versailles/Escorial... and note that even the palace in the major city is a copy (and a mobile one, to boot!) of the original Disney Castle, the Fountain Palace, which sits out on its own in the country, and seems to be entirely a court/command centre... If you feel that a royal park with a few small cities and a population of four million is a bit "lightweight" for a capital world, though, then do what I do when thinking of important SW star-systems - imagine a built-up system, with shipyards, military fortresses, mining stations, hydroponic facilities, terraformed/habitable gas-giant moons, and deep-space habitats, with a vast population up in the billions... *** As to neutronium, there's a discussion of the real-world physiscs here; and here Mike Wong gives his usual savaging to a pro-Trek reading of the pseudoscience (I think it may be the same one linked-to above)... if nothing else, this is a good example of the sort of 'evidence' involved, and the use and abuse that goes on when dealing with it... However, if I can draw your eyes away from the bear-pit for a moment... I rather like the suggestion that the metals on Dathomir's moon come from an old ship or space station (perhaps so old that they've been buried geologically)... But, that's not even necessary, IMHO... Now, I'm no scientist (most scientists would probably laugh at most or all of what follows), but from what I understand, real-world "neutronium" is a very dense phase of matter, transformed from iron by the effects of special relativity; that's what it means, anyway - but physisists don't like the term... Thankfully, though, Star Wars isn't bound by real-world physics. We have deflector shields, energy-swords, repulsorlifts and grav-well generators, faster-than-light travel, subspace communications, and the Force - most or all of which are essential for any self-respecting Space Opera... On at least one occasion, the science governing at least some of these phenomena is said to be called hyperphysics... and I rather like that term... So I'm going to suggest that SW 'neutronium' isn't actually real-world 'neutronium', any more than SW 'lasers' are real-world lasers... but it is a phased state of iron. In other worlds, the "neutronium" at Dathomir is good old iron ore (the moon's surface is iron-oxide red, after all ), but it's "phased" in some way that our science can't understand, but which gives it, at least when alloyed into durasteel (iron => steel, remember?), important "hyperphysical" properties, properties which help it to deflect or absorb "hyperphysical" weapons like turbolasers and proton torpedoes... Everyone happy with that? If not, feel free to disagree... - The Imperial Ewok -----signature----- A/T = OTP :===8[#]8===: Kyp/Jaina fans: stand up and be counted!

	So, it's called neutronium, but has absolutely no relation to real world neutronium... My head hurts.
