The woman chosen to serve this queen is called ''Star Sapphire''. She is given the queen's symbolic weapon: a crystal resembling an actual star sapphire that grants the user powers similar to the power ring of Green Lanterns.

Not clearly defined as superheroes or supervillains, the Star Sapphires debuted as a corps in ''Green Lantern'' (vol. 4) #20 (July 2007).
