The Kingdom: Nightstar #1 is an issue of the series The Kingdom (Volume 1) with a cover date of February, 1999.
Synopsis for "Not Go Gently"
The New Oa space station, which after the events of Kingdom Come has been turned into an agricultural space station called The Green, is under attack by a mad rampaging Manotaur, who uses a space shuttle with a wooden battering ram's head on the front to break through into the space station. Armed with a wooden sword, he makes his way toward the power core to destroy the station, to let the world know that it's coming to an end because Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are going back into the past to rescue their child, a task that could completely wipe out their reality.
Stopping Manotaur from doing so is Mari Grayson, Dick Grayson and Koriand'r's daughter known as Nightstar, who has the same kind of powers and the same fighting temperament as her Tamaranian mother. Her father joins her as Red Robin (without the mask) to help Manotaur see reason and to protect the workers at the station. However, Dick also has to deal with his daughter's fear of losing people, like her mother. Dick tells Mari to let go of that fear, and after things settle down at The Green, she rejoins with her lover Ibn al-Xuffasch when the both of them are visited by Hunter the Linear Man.
