My exact point is that they\\\'re too literal. \\\"Nun of Mystery\\\" fits the idea better than \\\"Mysterious Sister,\\\" for example. \\\"Roaring Trucker\\\" makes very little sense, and \\\"Ala Alba\\\'s Resident Ghost\\\" is better than \\\"Ala Alba\\\'s Ghost Member.\\\" Yes, Vetis is literal, but AM\\\'s takes the effort to actually make it make \\\'\\\'sense\\\'\\\'.

Also, Cocone\\\'s retranslation is perfect. Imperial as in \\\"of an empire.\\\" I don\\\'t know what the problem is with that.

EDIT: To make things easier, here\\\'s the list I\\\'m trying to keep up:
