The Lyraen race has settled some eight planetary systems, mainly to the galactic south of B-Lyrae. The major colony of note is the independent WYN (prnc. "win") nebula. Although this has never been under Imperial control it is of note due to its unusual composition. | The Lyraen race has settled some eight planetary systems, mainly to the galactic south of B-Lyrae.

The fiercely independent WYN cluster is composed of [[Kzinti Republic|Kzinti]] and Lyraen refugees from the [[Wars of Attrition]]. To both governments embarrassment these refugees have built a vibrant and colourful society under the infuriated noses of the Empire and the [[Kzinti Patriarchy|Kzinti]].

To both governments embarrassment these refugees have built a vibrant and colourful society under the infuriated noses of the Empire and the [[Kzinti Patriarchy|Kzinti]]. The region of space occupies a region at the edge of [[Kzinti Republic|Kzinti]], Lyraen and [[Klingon Empire|Klingon]] space and is surrounded by a heavily radioactive cloud. Because of this the area was unsettled before the cluster was colonised during the [[Wars of Attrition|Wars]]. The radiation shell is thin and can be breached with minimal damage at warp eight. | ||
The interior of the nebulous cluster contains a pair of white dwarf suns and assorted sub-planetary chunks of rock. Life within is harsh, even with imported gravity generators and habitation domes, and WYN-residents adopt a hard no-nonsense approach to life for survival. The colony was originally supplied by Orion traders and pirates, and because of this the residents of the WYN cluster tend to be treated as either pirates or romantic heroes. In act, the fortunes of the cluster are based on the skills of its many independent traders and their fleet of second-hand patched-up small craft. | The interior of the nebulous cluster contains a pair of white dwarf suns and assorted sub-planetary chunks of rock.

There exists the hulk of an unnamed [[Kzinti Republic|Kzinti]] military outpost in the asteroid belt. This is being rebuilt by the Lyraens with some distaste. | There exists the hulk of an unnamed [[Kzinti Republic|Kzinti]] military outpost in the asteroid belt.
