The [[Lyran Commonwealth]], largely under the leadership of ''[[House Steiner]]'', has long been considered the Inner Sphere's greatest economic power.

With many resource-rich worlds, shrewd business acumen and a strong industrial base, the Lyran Commonwealth prospered even during the worst of times: in spite of the destruction of the Succession Wars, overall industrial output and average standard of living exceeded that of any other Successor State.
