Headcanons, theories and speculation on Hapes Consortium?

What are your headcanons, theories, speculations and any fun idea about Hapes Consortium, a long isolationist regional power which appeared first in the famous or infamous Courtship of Princess Leia novel, with them playing a big role as ally of the New Republic and then Galactic Alliance during the events of The New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Force novels?

What are your ideas and theories on Hapans and their biology, their culture, differences between the various planets inside the Consortium, their technology and military, relations with the outside galaxy, and what they did or thought of various events happening in the galaxy before they broke out of their isolation, and also their interactions with Dathomir (since the planet officially joined the Consortium at the end of Courtship when Prince Isolder married Dathomir witch Teneniel Djo)?
