I've found some lore about Lyran offshoots. I don't trust anything that is written by others about this subject that I haven't personally seen or somehow verified...but I read stuff when I'm stuck or to check up on whether or not any real Lyrans are out there seeking others. We were very crew-oriented by preference, so I think back and wonder sometimes if I'm not missed in some way. Doesn't seem like us to do things alone, and the stuff people write is tantalizing, but usually presented alongside stuff I find pretty hard to swallow. (See any book that mentions Lyrans, lol)
These were a practical people. I don't think I ever saw one meditate.
Blah blah...

Anyway, the triangle on the hand can be a marker for a Lyran that uses NIU tech (direct nervous integration with machines). I don't remember these pads and sockets glowing though. However if you had em-enhanced vision, like what the thinkers might have gotten, then maybe you could see the nerve interface circuitry. A triangle on the hand did mark something else sometimes too...but that is another thinker thing, I believe. It is unlike Lyran soldiers to allow contact with biologicals, though I recall Hamoth liking to visit the hair-beasts and having a preference for garments made from their cuttings. Though alternately, it's a common type of mark to put on one's hand, so could be any damn thing. Your recollections appear to be fairly consistent with a legitimate off-world observation. Please be careful with such things.
You might find the Lyran offshoot colonies of interest, or maybe not. First let me repeat that I think I spent some time on Vega 2 and on the replacement space station they had up there (first one didn't last long). Far more Lyrans on the station than on the world. During the war, planet side got too dangerous. We lived mostly in space. Planets became chess pieces, not colonies. The only colonies were far from wherever I would have been. I was in the places it was not safe to colonize. In ships, stations, hollowed out rocks, that kind of thing. I remember one colonial effort...and that was here, so (shrug).
I believe this is one of the last worlds they tried to colonize. Their enemy was already here, or a hostile earlier Lyran faction or something. I think it was something black, hard, and with a gift for computers and mining sub oceanic rifts. Tall tans, I think. Towards the end, the colony was reduced to logging - so I know they had wooden technology like we do and that they were living off the land - they had altered their genome a bit by then too. The trees were green at this time. I'm thinking somewhat recent, last 50k years or so.
During the war, there was talk of - and contact with - a lyran-looking offshoot race from a distant colony - they had gone beyond vega shortly after the settlement period there - the colony was remote and far from the war. I never made it out that way but some in my crew had. They came back with stories...peaceful and creepy, as I recall. Promising but alien. Very important projects there. My kind kept far away. There were more women there...pretty. They had gene stabilization tech like ours, but had more mindfulness - they were sharp. I can't recall why, but I have long called them the "Cyrstal people". Something to do with their world? They had unusual ears and their eyes were...varied. Sharp teeth, that's why I thought soldiers...but more refined...just one or two snagglers. They spoke perfect Lyran warrior language, so much that I thought one of them was a navigator or something (often navigators were women) then I saw the ear. TO Lyrans, unapproved genetic modifications like these ... it's like being an ant in the colony with the wrong scent. Repelling and fascinating at once. Pure xenophobic thrill.
These might be your proto-pleaideans if there's any truth to that stuff.
Every other world I set foot on, we scorched first.
That's as much as I can provide. Here are what some people (not me) report as Lyran off shoot colonies (as as they put it...refugees. hmph) :
I don't really swallow most of this, but It felt wrong to hold this back.
HYADEANS
The Hyades in the constellation Taurus, like the Pleiades and Vega, are said to have been the destination of yet another group of refugees from the ancient Lyran wars.
(could be that remote colony...crystal-people...maybe)
PLEIADEANS
Blond or in some cases brunette 'Nordic' type humans based in the Pleiadean 'Taygeta' and other systems, which were allegedly colonized by refugees from their former planetary abodes in the Lyra constellation which were invaded by reptiloid entities from Alpha Draconis. The main Pleiadean planet of 'Erra', was reportedly 'Terra-formed' by the Lyran refugees [Lyra being much nearer to earth--around 30 light years]. The Pleiadeans were apparently the first 'humanoid' society to develop hyper-space travel (the U.S. government has reportedly known how to tap-in to hyperspace ever since the 'Philadelphia Experiments' of the 1940's. The Pleiadeans claim that their technology surpasses our 'International' technology by about 3000 years. This may explain why the humans in Lyra were able to travel the vast distances from this part of the galaxy to colonize the Pleiades, some 430 light-years from Terra-Earth. The Pleiadeans consider themselves to be part of the "ANDROMEDAN COUNCIL" based within some of the planetary systems within the Andromeda constellation.
UMMITES
Humans claiming to hail from the general area of Wolf 424, some 14-plus light years distant from the Earth-Sol system, and possibly having ancient ties with the 'Lyran' colonies in that the Ummites (from the planet Ummo) are like the Lyrans-Pleiadeans said to be 'Scandinavian' in appearance, and therefore may tie-in with the so-called 'Nordic' or 'Blond' societies. They reportedly work closely with the Vegan humanoids.
(Has a U in it, lol...weak connection, but worth looking into as the reports of contemporary "vegans" indicates descendents of thinkers, more than likely.)
VEGANS
Relatively peaceful and gentle humans descended from refugees from the 'Lyran Wars', who work closely with other refugee-colonists now living in the Pleiades, Wolf 424, and elsewhere. Often described as "dark skinned Orientals" similar to the native residents of the nation of India.
