## **History**

### **Early Life: 1968 - 1979**

* Born in the Earth year 1968 within Argo City, Kara Zor-El experienced a joyful upbringing immersed in the marvels of her technologically advanced home. Hailing from the esteemed House of El, renowned for their scientific brilliance, Kara's father, Zor-El, and her uncle, Jor-El, often collaborated to push the boundaries of their civilisation through innovative creations.
	+ Krypton's High Council, driven by their aspiration to cultivate more sophisticated technologies, sought to extract valuable resources from the planet's core. This endeavor not only enhanced the quality of life for their citizens but also yielded substantial profits for the council members. However, Kara often overheard her father and uncle expressing concerns about the potential irreversible harm the mining operations could inflict upon their beloved planet.

### **Krypton's Destruction: 1980 - 1983**

* Jor-El, the head of Krypton's science council, warned that this constant drilling would eventually lead to the planet's destruction. However, the Kryptonian High Council, driven by their thirst for power and progress, dismissed Jor-El's theory and threatened to imprison him if he continued to spread it.
	+ Despite the council's opposition, Jor-El and his wife Lara Lor-Van were determined to save their newborn son, Kal-El, from the fate of their people. They spent a year searching for a suitable planet that could support Kryptonian life, while the tremors on their home planet grew increasingly frequent and destructive.
	+ Zor-El was enlisted by his brother to help to create spacecrafts for their journey. After extensive research, Jor-El discovered Terra, a planet orbiting a yellow sun that could support Kryptonian life and provide enhanced abilities to its inhabitants. However, Jor-El was troubled by the knowledge that his people's greed had led to Krypton's demise, and he did not want to condemn Terra to the same fate.
	+ After much discussion, Jor-El, Lara Lor-Van, and Zor-El agreed to send only their children to Terra. They completed the spacecrafts and prepared to launch them. Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van sent their only son on his one way journey to safety, however, before Kara's craft could be launched, the entire Argo City was trapped within a dome and shrunk, where it would be stored for many years to come.
