Queen Mother

Queen Mother was most famously recognized as the hereditary title given to the leader of the Hapes Consortium, but was also an honorific used to identify the empress of the Empress Teta system. In the Hapes Consortium, she was referred to as Erenada, "she who has no equal." As the people of Hapes believed that males were unfit to rule over the Consortium, if a Queen Mother had only sons, then the wife of the eldest son became Queen Mother upon the death or abdication of her predecessor.
Some New Republic sources claimed that the name for this position in the Hapan language was Ta'a Chume, but it is possible that these sources were incorrect, and that the title was simply Chume, used as an adjunct to the Queen Mother's given name: Chume is certainly the term used for "Queen Mother" in other Hapan royal titles, such as Chume'da.
