Sagitari

*"Black Zero! Beasts of the Outlands! Factions within other city-states! All of them seek to annihilate us. We are Sagittari. The tip of the spear that guards this city. We never ask for mercy. And we never give it!"*
—Jayna-Zod[src]

The **Sagitari** are the law enforcement of Kandor City and later all of Krypton.

## History

Members of the Sagitari practiced combat in the Military Guild. Shortly following, after a terrorist attempted to kill the Voice of Rao, a Sagitari helped to rid him of his bomb. Later that day, the Sagitari followed the Voice of Rao as he walked among the rankless, clearing his way of potential threats. Seg-El attempted to stop one of them beating on an old man, but he was taken away by Sagitari Lyta-Zod, who claimed to be arresting him. That night, Seg was stopped after curfew, possessing a sunstone with the glyph of the House of El. Before a number of Sagitari could stop him, he escaped, catching a ride in a skimmer with his mother. Returning home, Charys was arrested for treason by the Sagitari and taken to the Lawmakers Guild.

Commander Quex-Ul showed off new weaponry to the Sagitari, an act which Lyta-Zod disliked. Because of his questionable leadership, she challenged him for command, later defeating him in the duel.

Primus Jayna-Zod and a handful of Sagitari tried to stage a coup against the Voice of Rao alongside House Vex but they were unsuccessful as the Voice had become taken over by Brainiac. Many of the members, including Dev-Em, fell under his control and became brainwashed servants to Brainiac.

To defeat Brainiac and stop him from destroying Kandor, Seg-El and Nyssa-Vex organized an alliance between the Sagitari and Black Zero to defeat him but Brainiac thwarted their attempt and eliminated both factions. Some of the surviving Sagitari soldiers went to evacuate several citizens when Brainiac began to "bottle" Kandor City in order to cause a destruction of Krypton. This rampage was stopped by Seg when pulling him into the Phantom Zone.

When Dru-Zod took control of Kandor, he bolstered the Sagitari's numbers by conscripting the Rankless such as Kem and Lor-Ran and used them to conquer the other Kryptonian city states, uniting the planet under Dru-Zod's rule. Dru-Zod and Lyta-Zod also noticed that most of Sagitari soldiers were rookies and not enough strong in combat, thus Dru-Zod suggested to her to train them in Military Guild to be enough powerful to crush the resistance. Dru-Zod began to send many Sagitari soldiers on the moon Wegthor to crush the last resistance HQ. He also sent Nyssa-Vex as a spy, as she was captured earlier, holding her a baby as a blackmail so that she could send intel for him. After Nyssa giving some information of Sagitari soldiers on the south perimeter, the rebels achieved a victory, seizing its supplies, but were unaware that Nyssa began to sabotage their further efforts. When the rebels began to overtake Space Elevator at the base station, they began to suffocate to death, as Zod tainted oxygen vaccines and sensors as a surprise tactic. Other rebels in underground tunnels could not unlock access terminal to get to the station, resulting in Sagitari capturing them. When the negotiations between the other rebels and Sagitari began, Jax killed other soldiers with her laser beam from her replacement eye and took Lyta to her HQ. She forced Zod to surrender or she will execute Lyta for one hour. Zod agreed on her conditions. Meanwhile, Jayna-Zod and Dev-Em infiltrated in the guild as Sagitari to get to the Zod, who tried to kill Seg, but the latter was saved. They killed several Sagitari guards and got out of the guild. On Wegthor, Adam and Kem told Jax that Zod disguised other rebels as Sagitari, while his forces were still underground, in his attempt to deceive her. Furious, Jax immediatelly executed Lyta. After her execution, Zod demanded Jax or will send Sagitari forces on the rebels. Val later detonated the bomb on Space Elevator base, to cut off the supplies and more Sagitari reinforcements. Other Sagitari soldiers who were hidden in the mines, cut off from the Krypton's communication, were found by the rebels, exhausted and irradiated with stelarium, soon receiving a medication from them. Some of the Sagitari appeared in Fort Rozz when Seg, Nyssa, Jayna-Zod and Dev-Em attempted to disable the shipyard, as Zod's fleet of the ships was ready to crush the rebels on Wegthor. They also stumbled upon the real Lyta alive (on Wegthor it was a clone created by Dru-Zod), and they escaped from Fort Rozz to Kandor. The sabotage of the shipyard was only temporary, as Zod managed to send a ship containing Sagitari and Doomsday. Meanwhile, a few Sagitari were sent in Outlands outpost to find Jayna, Lyta and Dev-Em. They captured two of them, who also saw a real Lyta alive, the latter convincing them to join their side and to expose Dru-Zod's treachery.
