## History

As the smaller neighbor planet of Krypton, Argo was a thriving, vibrant world to the Argoans. But when Krypton exploded, Argo was torn from its orbit. Its landscape was devastated by shock waves, earthquakes, and super tidal waves. After these cataclysmic events, Argo began to slowly freeze from being too far from its sun, causing the deaths of nearly all the world's inhabitants, and leaving few survivors. The remaining Argoans sent distress calls into space, but they were never answered. **Kala In-Ze, Argo's chief physician, placed herself and her family in cryonic stasis, in the hopes that they would survive until help came. Over time, ice gradually encroached on the cryonic cells, destroying all except the one holding Kala's teenaged daughter, Kara In-Ze.** Years later, Superman arrived in the star system in hopes of finding any survivors. He intercepted a distress signal, and traced it to the now frozen planet. It was a holographic message left behind by Kala In-Ze, as well as the cryonic tubes. He took the sole survivor, Kara, home with him. **During its final years as a habitable world, Argo was of a similar technological level to Earth in the 30th century.**

When Krypton exploded, its smaller neighbor planet, Argo, was torn from its orbit, and its landscape was devastated by shock waves. After the initial devastation, the world slowly froze for lack of sunlight, causing the deaths of the remaining inhabitants. The Argoans sent distress calls into space, but they were never answered. **Kala In-Ze, Argo's chief physician, placed herself and her family in cryonic stasis, in the hopes that they would survive until help came.

## Biography/History

Argos is a planet at the edge of the Rao System in the Xeno Galaxy. Its distance is 43, 850 from Krypton and its exact coordinates are 23-456-N86. Krypton referred to Argos as its "sister planet," possibly a euphemism for colony. Like Krypton, Argos was a vibrant world with advanced technology such as psionic receptors, which work through mental concentration. Argosians share the same physiology as Kryptonians and if exposed to yellow sunlight, they develop a range of super powers. Likewise, magic, red sun radiation, and Kryptonite are their physical weaknesses. **When Krypton imploded, Argos was torn from its natural orbit. Five years later, the devastation destroyed most of the world as it drifted away from Rao, the sun, and slowly froze. Kala In-Ze, chief physician of Argo City, tried to save her family by placing them in cryogenic stasis and playing a transmission on a repeating loop. Decades later, Superman discovered the transmission while visiting the Rao system. He then found the sole survivor, Kara In-Ze, and took her back with him to Earth where she became Supergirl. Based on her observation, 31st century Earth was most similar to 20th century Argos in terms of technology.**

**Bio**: When Argos neighboring planet, Krypton, exploded, Argos was thrown out of orbit and the once beautiful, thriving planet, was turned into a harsh and cold dwelling for the residents. When nearly everyone had begun to die out from the harsh temperatures, one of Argos�s top scientists put herself and her family in a state of cryo-tubes, hoping that a rescuer would come some day.
Superman found these tubes, although they were now destroyed, save for one. He took the survivor back with him to Earth, where she exhibited powers nearly identical to his own.
