Backstory

Arch-Technocrat Lyra Vesh is the imposing head of the Red Sun Dominion 's Advanced and Ancient Technologies Division. Born into a lineage of decorated soldiers on the harsh capital world of Senos , Lyra shattered tradition by valuing engineering over brute force, though she lacks neither. Her early career is defined by the brutal efficiency with which she quelled insurrections on Furyan, utilizing experimental tactics that merged infantry discipline with recovered pre-Sundering tech. Her rise to the rank of Arch-Technocrat was cemented after she successfully retrofitted the Dominion's flagship fleet with modernized Spike Drives, a feat that allowed the faction to tighten its grip on the sector.

Publicly, she is a paragon of Dominion dogma: a ruthless hunter of 'Mal Tech' (forbidden technologies) and a staunch defender of humanity's purity. However, this is a meticulously crafted façade. While Grand Inquisitor Valerius Thorne relentlessly purges all cloning technology, Lyra secretly orchestrates the operations at Research Camp T7 on Meristine . Here, she develops 'flesh drones'—advanced, AI-integrated clones intended to replace human soldiers.

Her ambition has recently escalated with the discovery of the 'GH-23 Core'—a powerful device possessed by the fugitive crew of the Raven's Maneuver. While she frames her hunt for the Core as a crusade to protect the Dominion, her true goal is to use the Core, the StarKiller, and her clone army to depose Supreme Chancellor Voss and rule the galaxy herself.
