I guess he confused numbers: Epione was confirmed - but for no. 7, not 3.
does it have to be a system/body and not a faction?
Mother Gaia in Sol seems to be the only thing I can think of for "Mother of mother of"

Well, you wrote "Furies"... (Only saw your answer later, though. Oh, and it's Yildun, not Yildum.)
Edit: Just saw that Bluwolve has already given "Furiae". And maybe others, too...

The german text is more at the point...
E.g. No3:
German: δ Ursae Minoris, der Osmanen Polarstern (delta ursar minoris, the osmanian north star)
English: Fourth minor bear in vain
See? Completely different content
Protoenchen is right, no. 3 = Epione has not been confirmed. You confused numbers, I think.
Edit: If you look at your no. 7, Emperor, you will see that you made a copy & paste error...

You do read our posts, don't you?
The question was about Furiea or Furies (plural) or Erinyea/Erinyes and not their habit I think...
True.
Given that all other confirmed answers so far are either (transliterated) Greek or Latin, I think (Latin) 'Furiae' is more probable than (English) 'Furies'.

If you use google and translate "Fourth minor bear in vain" via google or an other translater it will not give you the exact name of the star (which is Delta Ursea Minoris or simple just Yildun)... If it does, it will ne a bit too strange... Also it added some information about the osmanians...
The guy who writes the german galnet articles knowns german... I am sure...
Yes, I agree it's Yildun, but I should have been clearer with my quoting, I was referring to the 'Mother of the mother of Odysseus', 'Mother of Odysseus' also appears in the list and I think these two lines have been conflated.
Good point.
Just a thought... 19 could be Tisiphone or Tilphousia one of the 3 furies and noted for vengeful destruction.
