128 | "My question is there a quote saying a Home may be ran but just an Ubara or that there can be an Ubar and Ubara that are not FC'd to each other but others?"
Answer
Hello,
There is no instance within the books that supports a Ubara equal power with a Ubar. By definition a Ubara is a Ubar's Consort.
In Book 25, Talena rises to the throne as a Ubara, but she holds the position alone.
Following now are quotes referring to Ubaras.

So saying, he picked a piece, the Ubar's Consort, or Ubara, from the board and dropped it into the game box.

"A message from Pa-Kur," I said, "for the ears of Talena, his Ubara-to-be."

She wore the concealing robes and veils, the full regalia of a Ubara.
Tarnsman of Gor Book 1 Page 184
I have been unable to learn the fate of my father, my friends, my warrior companions, and my beloved Talena, she who was the daughter of Marlenus, who had once been Ubar of Ar my sweet, fierce, wild, gentle, savage, beautiful love, she who is my Free Companion, my Talena, forever the Ubara of my heart, she who burns forever in the sweet, lonely darkness of my dreams.

"His mother was Turian," said Harold.
I stopped.
"Did you not know?" asked Harold.
I shook my head. "No," I said. "I did not know."
"It was after her death," said Harold, "that Kutaituchik first tasted the rolled strings of kanda."
"I did not know," I said.
Kamchak was now well in advance of us.
Harold looked at me. "Yes," he said, "she had been a Turian girl taken as slave by Kutaituchik - but he cared for her and freed her. She remained with him in the wagons until her death, the Ubara of the Tuchuks."

"This woman," said Kamchak of the Tuchuks, brusquely, his voice stem but almost breaking, "is called Aphris - know her - she is Ubara of the Tuchuks, she is Ubara Sana, of my heart Ubara Sana!"

I nodded my head toward Lurius, swollen in the chair of the Ubar of Cos.
"I own women," I said, "who are more free than you."
"Tharlarion!" she cried. "I will be Ubara!"
"I wish you happiness, High Lady," I said, dropping my head.
She could not speak, so furious was she.
"Here," I said, "you will be Ubara. In my house you would be Kettle Slave."
"Slay him!" she screamed.
"Be silent," said Chenbar.
The girl was silent.
"The Lady Vivina, as you doubtless know, is promised to Lurius, Ubar of Cos," said Chenbar.

"The throne of the Ubara of Ar," he said, "is empty."
They looked at one another.
"Thank you," she said, "Ubar."
"I will have all arrangements made," he said, "for your investiture as Ubara of Ar."
His men gasped. My men could not speak. I, too, was struck with silence.
To be Ubara of Ar was the most glorious thing to which a woman might aspire. It meant that she would be the richest and most powerful woman on Gor, that armies and navies, and tarn cavalries, could move upon her very word, that the taxes of an empire the wealthiest on Gor could be laid at her feet, that the most precious of gems and jewelries might be hers, that she would be the most envied woman on the planet.

If a Ubara of a conquered city, for example, were to be sold, it would, customarily, be in such a special sale, unless the victorious Ubar, he who had conquered her city and captured her, chose to have her sold, for his amusement, in a common sale and from an unimportant block. Normally, of course, the conquering Ubar would keep such a regal wench, now collared and debased to slavery, in his own pleasure gardens, as a delicious memento of his victory, and as a woman.

"Of her own free will," said Mwoga, "the Lady Tende hastens to become Ubara to Bila Huruma."
"One of more than two hundred Ubaras!" scoffed Kisu.
"She acts of her own free will," averred Mwoga.
"Excellent," said Kisu. "She sells herself!" he said. "Well done, Slave Girl!" he commended.
"She is to be honored in companionship," said Mwoga.
"I have seen Bila Huruma," said Kisu. "No woman could be other than a slave to him. . . .
