Ta’a Chume was the Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium during the first part of the Galactic Civil War, and the mother of Isolder. As the ruler of the Hapes Consortium, she was responsible for opening up the borders of the Hapes Cluster to the rest of the galaxy.

As a ruler concerned only with her position, Ta’a Chume had no qualms about killing people to protect herself and/or the monarchy, including going so far as to arrange the assassinations of her first born son, her younger son’s fiancée, and her daughter-in-law.
