A Lyran count was a Lyran noble, inferior to a Lyran duke and to the King-Emperor of the Lyran Star Empire. In the second half of the 23rd century, they operated border outposts and wielded a great deal of power among its county. The counts often rivaled each other and this was how the power of dukes over their subordinated was maintained. (TOS video game: Starfleet Command)

One famous count of the late 23rd century was Virakas, who controlled the Iron Fang County during the ISC War of Pacification. (Star Trek: False Vacuum: "Structural Unemployment")

In the 24th century, counties operated starbases and shipyards of their own. Lyran count Fikrohn led the Lyran fleet in the Second Battle at the Grave of Thoughts, from the bridge of a Cave Lion-class battleship. (RIS Bouteina: "Battle at the Grave of Thoughts")

Pfrizzek rose to the nobility rank of count by 2401. (Star Trek: The Stoneship Files: "Highly Illogical")
