History
It was said that Komand'r sold her sister, Koriand'r to save Tamaran, which was taken over by the Blight.
Red Hood and the Outlaws
Koriand'r was bitter towards Komand'r and the people of Tamaran for her enslavement. After Kori fought her way free, she was praised as a hero and Kom gave her a ship to leave Tamaran but that wasn't enough to repair the rift between them. When Roy Harper was captured by the Blight, Kom visited him in his cell and appears to be working with the Blight.[1]
Roy's capture was revealed to be a mission to rescue Komand'r and Roy takes her and teleports back to Koriand'r and Jason Todd. The two sisters reunite in a teary conversation and Kori forgives her sister.[2] The four of them work together to take back Tamaran. They return to Tamaran in Kori's ship and fight the Blight's soldiers alongside some of the Starfire's crew members. When Kom gets stabbed in the back with a spear by the Blight leader, Kori's emotions overwhelmed her and she unleashes an energetic shock wave that wipes out everything in sight.[3]
When the smoke clears, Kori holds the defeated Blight leader. After the battle, Kom asks Kori to stay but Kori refuses and wants to return to Earth with Jason and her boyfriend, Roy. After bidding her younger sister farewell, Komand'r gives Starfire and her companions a ship to return to Earth.
