Rao (Young Justice)

Rao is a minor location in the Web series Young Justice. It was an ancient yet highly unstable red dwarf star
==History==
Rao's existence came to an end shortly before 1978. In this continuity, in a stark contrast from mainstream versions of Krypton’s destruction, Rao exploded instead of the planet itself. This resulted in massive blast striking Krypton, completely annihilating it and resulting in the near extinction of the Kryptonian race, with the only known survivors being those imprisoned in the Phantom Zone, the colonists of Daxam, and Superman. Prior to its destruction, Krypton’s Chief Scientist, Jor-El, predicted Rao’s explosion and attempted to warn his fellow Kryptonians of the disaster in hopes of saving their race from extinction. Unfortunately, neither the Kryptonian High Council nor the planet’s populace believed him. Because of this, the only person he was able to save shortly before the disaster was his infant son Kal-El (Superman).
In the original timeline, despite it being the cause of their home world’s destruction, and thus their 1000 year imprisonment in the Phantom Zone, it was shown that General Zod and his followers still revered Rao, often invoking its name.
