Xudar
Tomar-Re's homeworld — where science takes wing.
Xudar, in Space Sector 2813, is home to the Xudarians — a humanoid avian people whose finest minds turn to science. Its greatest son was Tomar-Re, a scientist before the ring chose him, who became the Green Lantern of Sector 2813 and one of the most respected Lanterns in the Corps' history: a trainer of recruits like Arisia, a member of the Honor Guard, and a close friend of Abin Sur of neighboring Ungara.
Tomar-Re's most famous mission is also his most tragic. Krypton — the doomed world that would give the universe Superman — lay in his sector, and the Guardians ordered him to save it. He was on his way when a star went nova in his path, delaying him just long enough. Krypton exploded, and Tomar-Re carried the guilt for the rest of his life. His son Tomar-Tu would later take up the ring, making Xudar one of the few worlds to give the Corps two generations of Lanterns.
