Ungara is a world where the climate never changes — a planet locked in perpetual spring, home to a red-skinned humanoid people who lived in peace for centuries. It was here, in the 1860s, that a history professor named Abin Sur was recruited by the Green Lantern Starkaðr and chosen to protect Space Sector 2814, the sector that holds Earth.

Abin Sur became one of the greatest Lanterns who ever lived — a mentor to Tomar-Re of neighboring Sector 2813, a seeker after the forbidden prophecy of the Blackest Night, and the bearer of a ring that would change everything. When he crash-landed dying on Earth in 1959, that ring chose Hal Jordan, making Ungara the world that gave the Corps its most famous human Lantern. His people raised a memorial to him — a monument to the champion who never came home. In later years it was revealed that Abin Sur was Sinestro's brother-in-law, binding the fates of Ungara and Korugar together in blood.
