The Lorell Raiders, or Hapan Pirates as they came to be called, were a group of pirates who colonized the Hapes Cluster some time before 4000 BBY, and were the ancestors of the Hapan Humans. They learned of safe routes through the hazardous Transitory Mists barrier that surrounded the Cluster and took refuge there along with a number of abductees. Many of the raiders were killed around 4030 BBY when they ventured out and were defeated by Republic forces led by the Jedi under Arca Jeth. Although the era of the Raiders was at an end, they did have survivors who became known as Hapans, who developed a strong hatred of the Jedi for the death they brought to the Raiders.
