Love
Love at the far edge of the spectrum — healing, obsessive, and utterly unwilling to let go.

For hearts long lost and full of fright, for those alone in blackest night, accept our ring and join our fight, love conquers all with violet light!
Love — the violet light burns at the spectrum's far edge, as far from rage as light gets. It heals, it binds, and in the wrong hands it possesses.
Violet rings seek out those who have lost love or been spurned by it — the broken-hearted, offered a ring and a cause.
Zamaron — homeworld of the Zamarons, the female counterparts of the Guardians of the Universe, who broke with their brothers eons ago over the suppression of emotion.
From Zamaron they rebuilt love's light into a true Corps, modeled — deliberately — on the Green Lanterns.
Carol Ferris— Hal Jordan's love and the most famous Star Sapphire; the Corps' human heart.
Queen Aga'po— monarch of the Zamarons and architect of the modern Corps.
Fatality (Yrra Cynril)— once the Green Lanterns' deadliest enemy, remade by violet light.
Miri Riam— among the first of the new Corps' recruits.
A violet ring does what you'd expect — constructs, flight, protection — plus love's stranger gifts: it can detect love in jeopardy across the universe, tether itself to an embattled heart, and show others their greatest love.
Quirks: new bearers are encased in violet crystal until they accept the ring. And love's light has a dark side — it can trap as surely as it frees.
Long before there was a Corps, there were only the Star Sapphire gems — parasitic crystals that possessed their hosts and drove them mad with obsessive love. The Zamarons spent centuries refining that raw force into something wieldable.
The result is the spectrum's most volatile light: a Corps that rescues the heartbroken and weaponizes devotion in the same breath. Love conquers all — the oath doesn't mention what it costs.
