The Controllers hit on the approximation of using the Orange Light as a world power author for their own Corps , and get over it to the planet Okaara , a section that had long been brush off by the Guardians .
In theStar Trek / Green Lantern : The Spectrum War , a Romulan Senator acquire the baron of the Orange Lanterns – and print even Larfleeze
The Controllers soon regain out why . Many trillion of twelvemonth ago , the Guardians , along with their army of robotlike Manhunters , tracked Larfleeze and a gang of pirates to Okaara . Larfleeze and his associates had slip an object of great power , and the Guardians need it back .
