House Steiner

House Steiner is the dynastic ruling house of the Lyran Commonwealth, which is one of the five Successor States of the Inner Sphere. Founded in 2341 as a union of three smaller mercantile alliances, the Commonwealth has traditionally been regarded as the wealthiest of all Successor States. For a time, the Lyran Commonwealth joined together with the Federated Suns to create a new superstate, the Federated Commonwealth, which dominated the Inner Sphere during the thirty-first century. However, internal divisions and other factors eventually led to a break and forming of the Lyran Alliance.
