( Breaking news, Roy's a slacker. Er. These are long past due, and I'll try to get more posted as I find free time. The main plot is starting to wind down, and so this information could be greatly helpful for those still around. )
Little news has escaped the Hapes Cluster, but within, the Consortium has been anything but quiet. Following the arrest and conviction of Imperial spy Glory StJames, a task force was created by Queen Maxima Buffton to root out whatever Imperial loyalists may still be at work within the system. Headed by the Queen's personal (and decidedly non-Hapan male) bodyguards, Grant Asham and Jin Silverdrake, Noble House Duval was the first target for investigation and it proved valuable. Imperial ties were found within, along with an executed plan to discredit former Regent Evelyn Azalee, and proof of several members helping to smuggle Runed clones onto the planet. Duke Duval proved to ultimately be spineless under duress, and gave up the other leaders of the Imperial spy network, leading to a crackdown in a nightly raid that rounded them all up. Twelve nobles or other high ranking officials in total were arrested and convicted, and further investigations haven't turned up any more that individual sympathizers. The AI hivemind under Ro and Ra soon after migrated to the Hapan Cluster, even as their counterpart came under the apparent control of Imperial warlord Zaal. With the collapse of the government on Coruscant, Hapes stands as one of the last strongholds against the Empire's forces.
