Darkstars



Description
The Darkstars are a team of intergalactic policemen. Created by the Oan Controllers as their original answer to the Green Lanterns, at its height the Darkstars held considerable power in the universe.

Background
There came a time when the concept of evil was unleashed throughout the universe and the Maltusians now on Oa felt themselves to blame. Now immortal, the cosmic Oans felt it was their duty to solve the problem. Their discussions led to a deep, irreparable rift among them. Some wanted direct "hands-on" intervention while others felt surrogates were the best way to operate. The more aggressive Oans left their world and their ways, going deep into the universe, their ultimate goals unknown.

Little was heard from this Oan faction for billions of years until finally, word reached the known populated universe that agents of NEMO (Network for the Establishment and Maintenance of Order) were roaming the stars. They challenged evil in all its forms and fought it bravely, sacrificing their lives to bring justice to the needy. Rivaling the Green Lantern Corps were the Darkstars, equipped with a powerful exo-mantle that granted its user speed, firepower, and defenses.

When the Guardians of the Universe went to another dimension in order to re-evaluate their goals, the Oan faction, now calling themselves the Controllers, had their Darkstars sweep out through the universe, filling the void left by the depleted Green Lantern Corps. Their influence and success made them respected-and feared.

Over time, however, the Controllers re-evaluated their own employment of agents and decided to end the Darkstar organization, leaving only a small number of independent agents remaining. Following a conflict on the planet Rann, the Darkstar ranks were severely depleted. The last three Darkstars died when their suits overloaded battling the cosmic vampire known as Starbreaker.
