(DC Implosion) (part #1 - Setting)

This profile is about the sword-and-sciencery (new word !) heroine Starfire, back in 1976. Only a young woman’s sword and her courage will challenge the inhuman hordes who would enslave her people ! As of September of 2020, this profile was split in two for more comfortable reading. And went through extensive edits for style, being almost 10-year old.
