Korugar sits in Space Sector 1417, home to a proud humanoid people with bright red skin — and to the most feared name in the Corps' history. This was the world of Thaal Sinestro, once its Green Lantern, then its dictator, then the founder of the army that bears his name. Few planets in the universe carry so much of one man's shadow.

Sinestro was Korugar's Green Lantern when he decided that order mattered more than freedom. He set himself up as the planet's absolute ruler, dispensing his own brutal justice from a throne — until the Guardians stripped him of his ring and exiled him to the antimatter universe of Qward. But Korugar could never quite escape him. His replacement, Katma Tui, and her successor Soranik Natu — Sinestro's own daughter — both carried the weight of his legacy. In 2013, during the Wrath of the First Lantern, the mad Guardian Volthoom destroyed Korugar outright, turning Sinestro's homeworld into a graveyard of rubble and a monument to everything fear costs.
