The Lyrillians are a warp capable species located in the Beta Quadrant. Although most of their technology was given to them by an incredibly advanced species called the 'teachers' the Lyrillians have a great understanding of space and physics. They spent several millennia traveling space on their planet-ship Lyrila until the systems began to slowly fail from centuries of decay. By the time they encountered the USS Charon the Lyrillians were in danger of extinction caused by a total system failure.

Species Location

The origin of the Lyrila is unknown even to most Lyrillian scholars. The planet had traveled space for several millennia until they encountered the Charon. Due to system failures the planet could no longer rely on the 'Maker' the power systems devised by the teachers that utilized a stable Omega Molecule as it's heart. As the molecule destabilized it threatened not only the Lyrillians but the entire beta quadrant. Through the ingenious effort by the Charon's crew the molecule was successfully destroyed and planet pushed through time and back bringing it into the habitable zone of a solar system.

The planet is now located in the Rufo-Tyrax system (named after the two Charon officers who discovered it).

Species psychology

The Lyrillians are generally a well educated, although they hold an almost god-like reverence towards the species they call the 'teachers.'

Physiological description

The Lyrillians are a humanoid species. Their average heights are 5' 2" to 5' 8" for females and 5' 6" to 6' 2" for males. Lyrillians tend to be fair skinned, as they have a slight layer of oil above their skin that protects it from environmental factors (including solar radiation). They also have a noticeable ridge of cartilage that forms a 'V' shape right above their eye brows.
