Myhr'an

The Myhr'an were a lizard-like humanoid race native to the area near the Typhon Expanse.


 * The correct pronunciation of Myhr'an is "MEER-an". Like sheep, one or several Myhr'an are still referred to as Myhr'an.

Physical Description
Myhr'an appeared like upright, humanoid Komodo dragons. Average height ranged from 1.8 to 2.3 meters in height. Their bodies were muscular and scaly. Skin colors ranged from Myhr'an to Myhr'an, although most appeared green, gray, brown or a combination in these colors. Their eyes were lizard-like, and their teeth were serrated. Unlike their Earth counterparts, Myhr'an did not have long tails; their tails were extremely short stubs at the base of their spines.

Culture
Not much was known about Myhr'an culture. Starfleet generally believed their society bounced from ultra-conservative to very liberal within decades. In their "outgoing" phase, the Myhr'an would attack and conquer other races with space near them, enslaving them or attempting to destroy them. One race was the Thrieshok-nar.

Battle of Canaileus Prime
In 2298, the Federation and Myhr'an fought over strategically-important planet Canaileus Prime. During the Battle of Canaileus Prime, Starfleet forces won, with Myhr'an technology being approximately 50 years behind Federation technology.

2372
In 2372, the Myhr'an attacked Federation space again, destroying Starbase Expanse 4 and killing almost all the colonists and Starfleet officers living or visiting there. They also destroyed the USS Ruapehu and USS Marsh and were suspected of kidnapping the inhabitants of Starbase Expanse 3.

The USS Cantabrian (NCC-24705) crew suspected alien interference in Myhr'an development when Myhr'an technology appeared a century beyond Federation technology in 2372. Communications towers aboard Myhr'an vessels also appeared equipped with a technology similar to a "thought maker". (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part One")

War with the Myhr'an
In the 2320s, the Thrieshok-nar and Myhr'an fought a war the Threishok-nar lost. The Myhr'an won the war, occupying all Thrieshok-nar planets for a decade. Then, in the 2330s, for no reason, the Myhr'an withdrew from all Thrieshok-nar planets. This conflict and occupation was the last known Myhr'an conflict with any other race until 2372. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part One")

Second Occupation
In 2372, another war broke out between the Thrieshok-nar and Myhr'an when the Myhr'an built up forces on the border and attacked. As of Stardate 49537.0, Thrieshok-nar planets were under Myhr'an occupation again. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part One")

The Trookanians
In the same year, the USS Marsh responded to a distress call from a Trookanian colony, obliterated by a weapon similar to the Myhr'an planet killer. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part One")

The Wthaure
The Wthaure have had several skirmishes with the Myhr'an in the past.

More recently (2372), with the Myhr'an rise in aggression and build up of Myhr'an forces on the Wthaure border, many Wthaure colonies near the border have been attacked and obliterated. These colony destructions were chalked up to the Mhyr'an planet-killer. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part One")

Technology
Myhr'an technology had advanced greatly in 70 years, going from 50 years behind Federation technology to 100 years past Federation technology.

Two technological advances included advanced communication systems, with Myhr'an communication towers fitted with a "thought maker"-type device, and advanced stealth technology, cloaking ships from Federation sensors and scrambling both Federation communications and sensors.
