''Precariously poised between the fierce eagle of [[Free Worlds League|House Marik]] and the voracious dragon of [[Draconis Combine|House Kurita]], [[House Steiner]] fights a desperate battle to protect the worlds, industries, and peoples of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. One of the five [[Successor States]] of the fallen [[Star League]], the Commonwealth is noted for having the strongest economy and the weakest military leadership of all the realms. Nevertheless, its clenched fist is a symbol of defiance to those who would swallow the Commonwealth whole.'' ''Compiled from ComStar records both ancient and modern comes this sourcebook on the Lyran Commonwealth and House Steiner. Included are dozens of full-color illustrations depicting Commonwealth rank insignias, unit crests, medals, personalities, and more. Classified documents on the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]]' deployment from the [[Tamar Theater]] to [[Tharkad]], military structure, and political intrigues are also provided. The extensive history section stretches from [[Terra]]'s first steps into interstellar space to Melissa Steiner's betrothal to [[Hanse Davion]].''
