Jayd is a planet of Sector 112, and home world of Green Lanterns Kentor and Laira Omoto.
History
Jayd was ruled by the Draez council, who decided to abolish "progressive" laws. However, the native Green Lantern, Kentor Omoto, considered that to be a sacrilege, and he used his power to influence in the council's decisions. Due to political interference, the Guardians demoted Kentor from the Corps, and the council banished him. He later formed a cult and became the Golden Dragon, a terrorist and oppressive ruler that dissolved the council.
Years later, Kentor's daughter, Laira Omoto, became the new Green Lantern, and she opposed the Golden Dragon's regime and oppression. The battle ended with Kentor lethally wounded, and instead of accepting the shame of defeat, he took his life. Laira then rejected the offer from the Guardians to relocate to another sector, saying that she was needed in Jayd.[1]
