A bum, a hobo, and a death stick addict, he was hired by the Board of Directors of Erebos, Inc. to captain the Erebos after the death of Musi. While under the influence of drugs, he sent the ship in a hyperjump right into the midst of a Corporate Alliance fleet, which destroyed the Erebos. Lyr Dooba and the Directors survived, made peace with the Separatists, and were given a Punworcca-116 interstellar sloop. However, the directors never forgave Lyr for losing their ship.
