fig 638: Lyrean Royal Delivery Service

Who could fail to be charmed by a special delivery from this little messenger? The Lyrean Royal Delivery Service was founded in the 34th century by Queen George XIII of Lyra, to despatch goods to the furthest corners of the vast Lyrean Empire. Under the motto Through rising tides and falling stars the robotic couriers of the LRDS, bearing the royal crown and harp insignia, were famed for their perseverance and reliability on even the most hostile terrain. Unfortunately they were less well known for their speed; the average delivery time to the furthest outposts of Empire was 37 Earth years.
