Lyran

The Lyrans were a 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. (' video game: ')

Their government were the Lyran Star Empire. The top flag ranks were the higher aristocrat ranks, but their subordinates were often commoners.

Pazzo had Lyran ballet dancers with him at the Romulan Naval Academy.
