Lyra Erso was a female human, the wife of scientist Galen Erso and mother of Jyn Erso. She died on Lah'mu when she threatened Director Orson Krennic with a blaster. She was shot directly in the chest by a death trooper, though she did manage to hit the director's shoulder.

History[]

Lyra met her future husband on a kyber crystal research project, and they were married soon after. Orson Krennic saved them from captivity at the hands of the Separatists, which was a ploy to indebt Galen to him. When the Empire took control of the galaxy Galen began research with the Tarkin Initiative. Lyra quickly realized they were being used, and with the help of Saw Gurrera, they escaped along with a six year old Jyn to Lah'mu.
