History
Pre-Zero Hour
Orando was the only inhabited planet in the Valar Three star system whose culture and technologies was equivalent to that of feudal Europe. The state of technology is compared to that of feudal Europe on ancient Earth. Indeed its very culture and governing is also akin to that of the European feudal time period with actual magic possessed by a few denizens of the planet. Only within its recent history have the people of Orando and its ruling parties have resisted outside world contact, no traders or technologically advanced species had been allowed to land on its soil. Its leaders had refused to allow the United Planets the construction of a space port on Orando.
In the late 30th century, the planet's monarch King Voxv, and then his daughter Queen Projectra, allowed limited development of planet's mineral resources. However when Projectra's father King Voxv suddenly died, Projectra's cousin Pharoxx and his grandmother Hagga challenged her right to subsection the throne. Projectra, along with Val and the Legion, defeated Pharoxx and Hagga in trial by combat, securing her place as ruler of Orando. She married Karate Kid and they became Legion reserve members, since Legion bylaws of the time would not allow married members. Orando would become the home of both Projectra and Karate Kid after they married and retired from the Legion. Projectra wanted to bring Orando out of the dark ages, wanting to bring it to an elevated height in the United Planets and bring better opportunities to the people of Orando. Many diplomatic outreach programs were started during the rule of Projectra in an attempt to modernize Orando.
But this idyllic time on Orando would be brutally interrupted when the Legion of Super-Villains attacked Orando, wreaking widespread havoc, mass death of its denizens and horrific destruction. The planet itself was seized and used Zymyr's alien technology to transport away to another dimension. It was on Orando that Projectra's husband Karate Kid, was murdered. After the defeat of the invaders, Queen Projectra used the villain's technology to transport Orando into another dimension. During this time Projectra started many public works projects in rebuilding and governing Orando as its sole ruler. Almost five and a half years layer Orando would return to its proper place in its normal universe.
