The King-Emperor of the Lyran Star Empire was the head of state and the head of government of the Lyran Star Empire. He ruled over the county containing the Lyran homeworld and his power was maintained by internal strife among the dukes. Each of his subordinate territories paid for the cost of building and maintaining part of the fleet. (TOS video game: Starfleet Command (game))
In the late 23rd century, he ruled over four duchies, whereas he controlled eight dukes in 2385. (RIS Bouteina: "Battle at the Grave of Thoughts")
