The Star Sapphire Corps is one of the nine Lantern Corps that harness the power of the emotional spectrum. This primarily female corps uses the violet light of love, and while they are occasional allies of the Green Lantern Corps, they are primarily driven by their own agenda.

History

The Beginning

The Star Sapphires hail from Sector 1416 and were founded and led by the Zamarons: Oans who, after migrating to Zamaron, found a parasitic crystal which they shaped into several Star Sapphires. These were used to empower females who had been loved and spurned, providing them the opportunity for revenge.

After realizing the power of the Star Sapphires was too great for them to control, the Zamarons forged a Violet Power Battery and power ring out of a Star Sapphire gem.[1] Violet power rings are fueled by the emotion of love, one of the two emotions, with the other being rage, that most influence their user.

Corps Established

Not long after the initial realization of the Star Sapphire Corps' existence, it was revealed that they not only built a Central Power Battery, but have sent out rings to find those who have been loved and spurned, as well as those who have lost someone they love, with the intent to give love and fight against hate and fear. After the choice is made to become a member of the corps, the initiate is encouraged to follow their heart.

However, the Zamarons were not above inducting new members if they felt it was in their best interests. Following the Sinestro Corps War, the Zamarons captured several female Sinestro Corps members in an attempt to fill the anger and fear in their hearts with love. So far, the only successful conversion is Fatality of Sector 1313. A Star Sapphire Ring was also sent to Carol Ferris, which convinced her that by accepting the Ring, she could save Hal Jordan's life during the War of Light.[2] In truth, the Zamarons, aware that Carol had built up a "tolerance" to the violet light, wanted her to serve as the host for the Predator, the embodiment of the violet light.[3]

Blackest Night

Sinestro later led his corps to attack Zamaron and free the captured Sinestro Corps members. During their attack, the Black Lantern Corps descended on Zamaron. The arrival of Hal Jordan and the Indigo Tribe managed to hold the line for a time, but two Black rings attached themselves to the corpses in the Violet Central Power Battery, Khu-Fu and Chya-ra. Their rising caused the Violet Battery to explode and free the Predator. The Indigo Tribe transported Carol, Hal, and Sinestro to Korugar, but it was unknown if the Zamarons survived the explosion. For all intents and purposes, the Star Sapphire Corps were removed from the War of Light. Despite this, Carol's powers seemed to remain intact.[4]

Notes

  • Unlike most Lantern Corps, save perhaps Agent Orange, the Star Sapphires are currently all female. However, it is not impossible for a man to wear and use the Ring. During The War of the Green Lanterns, Guy Gardner once wore a Sapphire Ring, in addition to a Red ring, to boost his power, and was able to, if only for a brief time, channel its power, though it proved extremely difficult (mainly due to the fact that he needed to make himself mad and feel love at the same time). The writers also stated that men are allowed into the Corp, it's just that none have been found worthy yet. Recently, men began to join the corps, as "Love is love, no matter who bears the heart".[5]
