HISTORY

Shortly after the Guardians of the Universe exiled Hal Jordan from his homeworld for the period of one year, the Green Lantern of Earth created a base of operations on a barren asteroid adrift in Space Sector 2814. There he would stay for five weeks until the asteroid came in proximity to the M'Brai system and he was given his mission by the Guardians.

Little is known of the asteroid habitat. Using the power ring, Jordan created an energy bubble around it which contained a breathable atmosphere. Jordan would store his power battery here when on assignments from the Guardians. On one occasion, the Guardians shifted the course of the asteroid to involve Jordan in a confrontation with Dalor of Timron, Green Lantern of Space Sector 2813. Green Lantern Vol. 2 #154- 155

Though far from Earth, the asteroid was still reachable by one of Jordan's oldest foes, Hector Hammond. Sensing the temporary home of Green Lantern was centered on a piece of the meteorite which had given him his tremendous mental powers, Hammond caused the asteroid to come to life an attack the hero. Green Lantern was forced to destroy the asteroid to protect himself. Though Hammond retrieved the meteor, using it for his purposes destroyed it and was later defeated by Jordan. Retrieving his power battery, Jordan set off to the planet Talkor to find a starcruiser as a new home in the stars. Green Lantern Vol. 2 #157- 158
