Queen Mother

Queen Mother was the hereditary title given to the leader of the Hapes Consortium. As the people of Hapes believed that males were unfit to rule over the Hapes 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. The only notable Queen Mothers referred to in canon sources are in the New Jedi Order, and are Ta'a Chume, her daughter Teneniel Djo, and her granddaughter Tenel Ka, who is a Jedi and friend of the Solo children. Tenel Ka becomes Queen Mother of Hapes upon the poisoned death of Teneniel Djo, and remains in this position until after the conclusion of the New Jedi Order series.
