6 Maybe something nice will happen to the Lyrans for once.

Option 4 makes the best things happen to the Lyrans :colbert:

e: Realistically, gaining goodwill from the dracsuns doesn't really do diddly for the Lyrans, since they're separated by both the already hostile invasion corridor in the galactic north, and the interdicted Capellans in the south.

Steiner can't fight this next invasion wave alone, Serpent Alliance be damned.

Might as well get the Drac-Suns involved; Hanse's kids can marry some Germanic princess after its all over.

Battletech canon includes many wonderful sitcoms, such as My Favorite Tetatae, Thomas Hogarth's comedic turn in The Even Bigger Bang Theory, WKRP on Tukayyid, and the highest-rated sitcom in Inner Sphere history, The Free Worlds League Nightly News.
