The Hapan Royal Guard (Chume’doro in Hapan) was a military unit tasked to defend the Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium and her family. Members of the Royal Guard included Major Moreem Espara. As was typical of Hapan women, they were generally attractive, but they were also generally very large and strong, sometimes carrying enormous shoulder-mounted weapons.
Ultimately, the Royal Guard was not a military unit but rather a police force with its agents quietly omnipresent. Their forces were spread about to protect the Queen Mother with a bodyguard always being by her side whilst other agents were stationed on such sites as the flagship, Star Home. In addition, the Royal Guard were present on any naval vessel the Queen Mother might visit and one each of the worlds of the Hapes Consortium. Their mission objective was namely to investigate any possible threats against the Hapan Royal House. To achieve this aim, they had unlimited authority to commandeer local security forces, detain as well as interrogate any citizens, seize property, confiscate items and tap into private communications. By using the authority of the Queen Mother, a Royal Guard was capable of even overruling the orders of high ranking fleet admirals. Though there was little to curb these powers, many Hapans willingly submitted to the authority of the Royal Guard. This was attributed to the fact that Hapans saw their ruler as a goddess and that her protectors were incorruptible.
