3. [Economy] Buyout of Waridh Plants TP1 (T28) (Success!) The riches of the newly incorporated region are already being put to use by the more enterprising Lyraen corporations.
4. [Economy] Buyout of Q-Tracers TP 1(Failure) However, the salvaging operations that the Lyraens are trying to establish meet with failure, due to the difficulty of determining what is and is not useful technology.

- Lyrae has declared that the Federated Churches are in the right in this instance and seeks to support their punishing of the UPT for their crimes against the galaxy. A single leader is hardly enough. Everyone that had a part to play in this decision must be brought to justice. Therefore, she warns the Ninurtines that attacking them, something so directly contrary to Lyraen interests, will be seen as an attack on the Lyraen state.

- Furthermore, Lyrae responds to the plea of certain, interested parties for her to meet with the moderates in ALL with the following: she will be glad to, once they have turned over all who were associated with the assassination and subsequent slaughter.

- Ool's commission from the Syndrome arrived shortly after his death at the hands of the Same: a sentient dragon uplifted from the Kronin homeworld. A suitable habitat has been provided for her and Lyrae seems to take some comfort in raising the creature personally.
