Lyra Ikron was born on an Imperial space station, the daughter of Haltyr Ikron, a prominent member of the Empire. Her mother was a low-ranking officer, just one of many in Haltyr's path. As far as anyone knows, however, Lyra is the only child to come from such an arrangement. She was raised as a pure child of the Empire, and although her mother disregarded her duty, the Empire took an interest in her education due to Haltyr's reputation. Her father met her a total of two times, the first to check on her health just after birth, the second when she was sent to visit him as a child. |

− | It was during this visit that [[Navik Ikron]], her older half-brother, attacked Haltyr's ship. Lyra watched from a nearby ship as her father was destroyed. Despite her childlike hope that she would be released following this incident, her mother insisted that she be kept in the program, unwilling to raise her daughter herself. |

− | At the age of thirteen, five years following the death of Haltyr, Lyra was enrolled in the local Imperial Academy on Corellia. It soon became clear that she had inherited her father’s knack for combat, as well as his reputation. Although she was known as a crack pilot and advanced marksman, she often ignored or “misinterpreted” orders to kill unarmed prisoners or treasonous students. Despite these shortcomings, she successfully graduated from this academy two years later, and was immediately recruited into the nearby Corellian Naval Academy. |

During this time, Lyra truly began to stand out from her peers, both in piloting skill and in disobedience. Following a deadly training raid on a rebellious city, Lyra openly refused to kill civilians or torture prisoners. As soon as her commanding officers realized that she would not be swayed, she was entered into a severe program of conditioning and re-education. From then on, Lyra carefully obeyed every command given, but secretly began to hate the Empire. She knew she would not be following in her father’s footsteps, and began to plan an escape. Days after her seventeenth birthday, Lyra was informed that she would be transferred the next week to the prestigious Imperial Naval Academy. Instead of allowing herself to be taken to the secured, secret location, Lyra took the opportunity to stow away on a docking freighter. |
