The Guardians of the Universe

Origin
On Maltus, the Guardians and Zamarons were born and existed in peace. Following the war on earth, the male guardians devoted themselves to containing and combating evil, needing not to reproduce as both races had achieved everlasting life. The females would venture to a planet called Zamaron, while the male guardians found Oa.

The Guardians created the Manhunters to protect and govern the universe.

Betrayal of Krona
A gifted scientist, Krona, ventured to Prime Earth and mapped the Multiverse. While doing this, he came in contact with Mobius from across the multiversal membranes. Mobius revealed the secret of the lantern and entities; Krona wanting knowledge went after them. He constructed a gauntlet to contain the entities when he found them. In order to distract his fellow Guardians, Krona reprograms the Manhunter robots, sending them on a killing spree throughout the universe, known as '''"The Massacre of Sector 666". '''Finding all but the Butcher, he arrived at the house of heroes clashing with the fledgling quintessence and his fellow guardians. Ganthet is able to crack the gauntlet and unleash the entities across the universe. The Manhunters are deemed obsolete, and the guardians move forward with a new form of order in the universe.

The Green Lantern Corps
On Daxam, the Ion entity binds with Sodam Yat. He meets with the guardians, and him and guardians rami and Appa Ali Apsa construct the first ring and lantern, fueled by the green light of will. Sodam Yat is sent to gather the other entities, but scatters them after learning their true power. Appa and Rami clash over whether they should channel the power of the entity into a legion of warriors. Rami leaves with a group of loyalists, while Ganthet stays behind with the new Guardians. Sodam yat destroys the first ring and relinquishes Ion, going into self imposed exile. Appa creates the Central Power battery with Ion and uses rami's schematics to manufacture the Green Lantern corps in the heart of a sentient planet, Mogo, sending legions of rings across the universe. The Guardians collectively wipe their own minds in order to protect the universe from the true power of the seven entities.

The remaining survivors of the Massacre of Sector 666 ally together and create the Empire of Tears, a syndicate that used dark space magic to oppose the guardians. The Guardians go to war with the five inversions, and defeat them, imprisoning them on their own planet of Ysmault.
