The Lyris flotilla is a vast interconnected network of spacecraft and space stations that orbits the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. Located in orbit around Nogo (Gliese IV), it is the main trade hub in Gliese, and is home to a dense population of Banu. While the shape of the flotilla is ever-shifting as ships arrive and leave, the structures at Lyris' heart are hundreds of years old. It is hypothesized that the first ships gathered there when Nogo was abandoned.
