| abstract | - The Lyrans were a felinoid Beta Quadrant species who were physically similar to their Kzinti neighbors. It has been theorized (by Hydrans) that Kzinti and Lyrans were descended from a common stock, but if this theory is was mentioned in the presence of someone from either race, the discussion was highly likely to get bloody. Federation diplomats attending international conferences were advised not to stand physically between Lyran and Kzinti diplomats. (TOS video game: Starfleet Command (game)) Their government were the Lyran Star Empire. The top flag ranks were the higher aristocrat ranks, but their subordinates were often commoners. They were often likened to Caitians due to their felinoid nature. However, due to their more or less constant state of strife, law enforcement often got the shaft from the counties. Pazzo had Lyran ballet dancers with him at the Romulan Naval Academy. (RIS Bouteina) Lyran law forbade gambling. In addition, Lyrans didn't trust their own kind for counselor or medical servicing. (RIS Bouteina: "No Child Left Untested") Also, Lyran ships were equipped with gallows and torture instruments. (RIS Bouteina: "Four Redshirts and a Shirt") Lyrans often placed commanding officers of starships at the helm position, equating pilots with captains, except when the CO was a flag officer, in which case the first officer will assume that role. Any Lyran aspiring to assume command of a starship had to possess some piloting skill. Also, the Lyrans considered World of Warcraft as an illegal drug. (RIS Bouteina: "Fury of the Prison Ships")

As such, they were known to be allies of the Klingon Empire and the two aided each other numerous times. Hydran scientists believed that there was genetic evidence to suggest that the Lyrans and the Kzinti were related, something that greatly insulted both races and even sparked a war between the Hydran Kingdom and Lyran Star Empire. The Lyrans were known to be bitter enemies of the Kzinti species with contact between the two almost always being dangerous if not deadly. Klingon warriors were noted as saying that it was better spending time in an interrogation booth than be caught in the middle of a Lyran-Kzinti blood feud. (TOS video game: Starfleet Command) Note: Due to licensing issues, the creators of the Starfleet Command game were not able to use the name Kzinti and instead renamed the Kzin race as the Mirak.

The military of Lyran has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Lyran allows its citizens to openly protest their government, even if it means violence. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Lyran believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Lyran will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.
- In the fictional Star Fleet Universe as represented in the range of games from Amarillo Design Bureau Inc. as well as the first two Star Fleet Command games (and the Orion Pirates stand-alone addon for Starfleet Command II) from Taldren, the Lyrans are a felinoid race possessing a stellar empire which borders the Hydran Kingdom, the Klingon Empire as well as their fierce rivals, the Kzinti Hegemony. The Lyran Star Empire is a monarchy of twenty-one (Twenty following the establishment of the Lyran Democratic Republic) counties bordering the Kzinti Hegemony, the Hydran Kingdoms and the Klingon Empire. Lyrans as a species are aggressive and prone to internecine strife, indeed the external frontiers of the Lyran Star Empire have remained static for considerable periods of Lyran history due to this. Lyrans generally possess an abiding racial hatred of the Kzinti, one which is more than amply reciprocated by said race, while also disdaining the methane-breathing Hydrans. Interestingy, DNA evidence exists showing a common ancestry between the Lyrans and the Kzinti, yet neither race take what to their ears is a highly offensive suggestion lightly. The Lyrans have been allies of the Klingons on numerous occasions, such as during the Four Powers' War and the far more destructive General War, in which they very nearly succeeded in reducing their hated Kzinti foes to subjugation, and the two races have jointly conquered and occupied the territory of the Hydrans on more than one occasion.
