A family of Pakistani-American heritage, the Tamars built a power base on their agricultural resources and a strong foundation of military training. Forming the [[Tamar Pact]] in [[2235]]. This pact was bordered by the planets of [[Suk II]], [[Fatima]] and [[Nox]].<ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth) (sourcebook)'' p. 10</ref> Formed primarily for defense, it was successful in helping its merchants fend off pirate attacks. In the years following the [[Exodus (2242)|Exodus]], several other planets would be added, including [[Tamar]], named for the Pact's founding family, and [[Arcturus]], which would eventually become the original capital for the Lyran Commonwealth.

In [[2271]], the first [[Terran Hegemony]] member state was formed in the form of the [[Free Worlds League]]. The [[Federated Suns]] and [[Draconis Combine]] soon followed. There was inevitable pressure on the Tamar Pact to form such a state themselves with their neighbors, the [[Protectorate of Donegal]] and the [[Federation of Skye]]. The three had much in common, as all three pacts were built upon providing defense to maintain their extensive merchant trading. The Tamars feared that the [[Draconis Combine]] would soon look to expand its borders at the Tamar Pact's expense, so they certainly had a strong motivation to take part in such an alliance. In [[2339]], [[Kevin Tamar]] formally proposed unification with his counterparts from [[Skye]] and [[Donegal]]. Meeting on Arcturus in [[2340]], they eventually hammered out a tentative [[Articles of Acceptance|agreement]] based loosely on the system the Greeks used to rule their city-states. They adopted the name the "Lyran Commonwealth" for their new state, and they were recognized by the Hegemony at the start of the following year. Though the early years were difficult for the nascent Commonwealth, with a unstable economy and talk of secession, it eventually persevered. <ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth) (sourcebook)'' pp. 11-13</ref>
