The Star Sapphires Rise
Love, forged into a Corps.

The story
Long ago, the female Oans left Oa for the planet Zamaron, becoming the Zamarons. There they found a parasitic crystal — the Star Sapphire — and shaped it into gems that possessed women who had loved and been spurned, turning heartbreak into vengeance.
But the Zamarons evolved. Realizing the crystal's power was too wild to control, they forged it into a Violet Power Battery and the first violet power rings — weapons of love that, unlike the old gems, left their bearers in control. The Star Sapphire Corps was born in Green Lantern vol. 4 #18–20 (2007, Johns/Van Sciver).
Their greatest champion was Carol Ferris — Hal Jordan's love, who had been possessed by the old Star Sapphire gem for decades. When the Zamarons offered her a violet ring, she accepted freely, becoming the most powerful Star Sapphire of all — and eventually, their queen.
