Are the Lyrans a matriarchal society in Star Fleet Battles?

Apparently, on Taldren's site, in the races section the Lyran-kitties are described as

Quote
The Lyran Star Empire, unlike most races, is a matriarchal society. The Lyrans (pronounced Lear-uhns) are a warrior race with feline ancestors. They are the size of a large human with incredible strength.

But the weird thing is, I couldn't find any non-SFC references to the Lyrans being matriarchal.  Even in the manual for SFC and SFC2 they don't mention the Lyrans as that.

Is it something that Taldren/Interplay made up for licensing reasons?  Or is it mentioned in the SFB books?

Actually, you have a good point there.  In all the SFB Manuals I got, I don't recall anything saying that the Social Structure of the Lyrans was "Matriarcal".  I thought the SFB Manuals indicated that the Seletolians had this kind of structure (i think?), but I'm not sure on this.  I thought the Lyrans had pretty much a Feudalistic Government that was more or less organized then the Kzinti's (less Cival Wars then what the Kzintis went through). 

Might just be a SFC add in when SFC1 was first made.

Taldren made that up.
