[edit] History
[edit] Origin
The Zamarons were an ancient species of humanoids that evolved on the planet Maltus and were possibly the first intelligent lifeforms in the Universe. Their early ancestors were a race of tall grayish blue skinned beings with black hair who, like many of the creatures on their world, possessed microscopic symbiotes that gave them incredibly powers. During this early point of their existence, the legend of the Triarch was born which was deeply ingrained in their race and the myths that spoke of the Creator Daalon's death stated that one of the demons born from his blood was the Predator Entity which sought vengeance against the inheritors of the Triarch.
As the population on Maltus exploded, the great tribes splintered and war erupted between them. One of these factions created a genetically engineered plague designed to target the symbiotes of the Maltusians but this backfired and infected the many tribes on the planet. Millions died as they were unable to feed on themselves and the plague ravaged the world. The early precursors to the Zamarons were an all female society that lived in the city of Zamar. They later worked together with the male inhabitants of the polar city of Aps in order to develop their children in laboratories as the Aps discovered the disease was dormant and only active when in the presence of both sexes. After a thousand years, both sides were able to work together in eliminating the plague from the Maltusians.
The Zamar continued their partnership with their male kin who focused on the sciences whilst the females developed food to feed their people. They decided to form a group that would help guide the next generation and together the Zamars as well as the Aps became the Oans. As they continued to evolve, the Maltusians began to gain a conscious control over their physical bodies and developed "Guardpower" thus allowing them to extend their lives to millions of years. However, their offspring turned out to be dangerous as they lacked the maturity to use their abilities wisely leading to the extermination of countless species on Maltus. The only alternative was to stop breeding and they managed to preserve their population whcih had spiralled out of control.
Later, when the scientist Krona dabbled in a forbidden experiment to witness the birth of the universe, the renegade Maltusian scientist brought about entropy into the cosmos as well as brought about the creation of the Anti-Matter Universe. After he was banished, the Oans decided to abandon Maltus forever and it was the Zamaron ancestor known as Teisho who selected their new home; a planet in the centre of the Universe.
[edit] Early Year
After arriving on their new homeworld of Oa, the male Oans decided to suppress emotion and dedicate themselves to the ideals of bringing order to the cosmos as well as to fight evil. Thus, they took on the name of Guardians of the Universe who waged an eternal campaign to contain the forces of evil. The females, however, disagreed with their decision to suppress emotion and wished no part in the Guardians mission. As both branches of the Maltusian race were immortal, they had little need to reproduce and thus the female Oans abandoned their mates in order to find a world of their own. They eventually settled on the planet Zamaron and they named themselves Zamarons.
Over the next billion of years, the Zamarons and the Guardians began to evolve into different forms. While the Oans were originally human-like but blue-skinned, the Zamarons eventually became identical to white Earth women. The Zamarons developed a warrior-like culture, and, unlike the Guardians, preferred to focus on developing their physical abilities over their mental ones. In doing so, the Zamarons developed the habit of storing their psionic energies in violet crystals. At some point in the past, the Zamarons also began to take mates from the planet Korugar. In order to curtail in signs of jealousy, the Guardians placed a directive in the Green Lantern Central Power Battery which would cause it to self destruct if an Oan or one of their servants harmed a Korugarian. The nature of this ancient programming of the Central Power Battery remained unknown for thousands of years.
For reasons unknown, the inhabitants of Zamaron also started the custom of choosing females of other species that bore certain specific appearances to their leader to be selected as their queen. These women took on the identity of Star Sapphire and were given a gem that granted them enormous mental powers though it also twisted and altered the hosts mind. One of the women chosen in recent times was Carol Ferris, lover of the human Green Lantern Hal Jordan. She ended up becoming one of his greatest foes.
After the events of the Crisis of the Infinite Earths, the Guardians convened with the Zamarons where Herupa Hando Hu wanted the Oans female kin to join them in leaving the known universe as he believed that they had become stagnant. The leader of the Zamarons, Nadia Safir, refused and she engaged in combat with Herupa Hando Hu. She ultimately lost the duel and accepted to lead the Zamarons with their Oan mates to the next dimension; Safir herself was taken as Herupa's mate. The Zamarons eventually decided to rejoin their Guardian mates in order to parent a foretold new generation of Oans. They left this dimension in order to mate. Although the Guardians later returned, the Zamarons continued to wait to give birth. Despite seemingly leaving the plane of existence forever, Nadia Safir returned with her Oan mate where they went to Earth in order to select the New Guardians during the Millennium Event where they faced opposition from the Manhunters. After awakening the Human's latent powers, Safir and Herupa both died of old age as they had used up their energies.
Later, the Green Lantern Corps executed the Green Lantern renegade of Korugar known as Sinestro after he had used the power of the MadGod Sector 3600 to destroy countless worlds. Unknown to them, this initiated the self destruct sequence of the Central Power Battery that the Guardians had put in place in order to control any signs of jealousy that they might have had for the Korugarians being chosen as Zamaron mates. This threatened to destroy the universe though Hal Jordan managed to prevent this from happening with the aid of the Guardians.
When the Guardians were restored as mixed-sex infants, Ganthet asked the Zamarons to return to Oa and help him take care of them. Their own children have not been referenced except for Guardian-Zamoran hybrid named Lianna.
[edit] One Year Later
The Zamarons have recently resurfaced, conducting a guerilla war against the Guardians. It has been revealed that the Zamarons migrated from Oa due to the Guardians decision to suppress their emotions while the Zamarons embraced them. After settling on Zamaron, the female race found a parasitic violet crystal sprouting out of the remains of two corpses. The Zamarons then created a Corps called the Star Sapphires and carved several Star Sapphire gems out of the violet crystal to give to women who had been loved and spurned, giving them the opportunity to gain revenge.
A new Star Sapphire appeared and first took possession of a girl named Krystal, and then sought out Carol Ferris. Ferris was released once the gem discovered that Hal Jordan bears affection for Jillian "Cowgirl" Pearlman. However, Hal and Carol managed to free Cowgirl after a battle. When the Zamarons appeared, Hal gave a false affectionate kiss to one of the alien women, which led the gem to possess the the alien entity. The Zamarons were forced to retreat in an attempt to save their sister from their creation. Realizing the the gem's power is too great, and unable to control after they took it from their sister's corpse after a failed attempt to save her, they apparently abandoned their plan of creating a new Star Sapphire, and instead forged a violet lantern from the gem, with a plan of creating their own Corps. The Zamarons have not only been collecting the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum of love, but also fear and willpower, the two main energy sources of the Qwardians and the Guardians as well, in preparation of an upcoming War of Light.
At some point, the Zamarons managed to harness the full power of loev from the emotional spectrum and created the Star Sapphire Central Power Battery which also contained the Predator Entity within its core. After the events of the Sinestro Corps War, the Zamarons now led by Queen Aga'po selected Carol Ferris to serve as the leader of their Star Sapphires due to her experience in the past. Whilst initially unwilling to take part, Ferris agreed when the Zamarons stated that Hal Jordan would die in a coming conflict and if she joined them then she might be able to save him. Over the course of events, the Zamarons began abducting female members of the Sinestro Corps and placed them in conversion crystals thus turning them into new members of the Star Sapphires. They were later visited by the Guardians who attempted to dissuade the Zamarons in the creation of their own corps but the female Maltusians refused. Whilst Ferris continued her duties, the Zamaron Queen sought to use her as a host for the Predator Entity as she believed that Carol's past experience would make her resistant to its influences.
Later, Zamaron was attacked by members of the Sinestro Corps led by Sinestro himself who sought to free their imprisoned female comrades. During the battle, The Blackest Night came to pass with Black Lantern Power Rings entering the Star Sapphire Central Power Battery which reanimated the two lovers encased in the crystal. This act shattered the Central Power Battery and freed the Predator Entity; an act that devastated Zamaron and led to the fall of the first part of the emotional spectrum as dictated in the Book of the Black.

[edit] Powers
Cosmic-Level Energy Manipulation: ability to manipulate the emotional spectrum of energy that is love (Violet). This power is naturally generated by them and is capable of all the feats of the Green Lantern power rings. The power of love is one of the farthest away from the balance of the center of the emotional spectrum and thus the power has more influence over its bearer.
