Tartarus-Prime

Tartarus Prime   is a huge dysonsphere orbiting a red dwarf in   Null Space,used as a penal colony for convicted prisoners,as a cheap labor force,to help build various worlds within the sphere . It's barren surface is covered in massive cracks and craters and oddly enough, it appears to be completely hollow at the core. 

Tartarus Prime's odd composition is attributed to the fact that it didn't form naturally but was put together with billions upon billions of asteroids moved by the   .

This dysonsphere was built as a prison to encase   <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "TimesNewRoman";color:#D5D4D4">prevent convicted individuals or groups and even succeeded for several million years but when excessive mining created weak points in the giant shell, It was released.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;font-family:sans-serif;">in mythology,Tartarus, or Tartaros (Greek: Τάρταρος, from τάρταρον "tartar encrusting the sides of casks"), is the deep abyss in ancient Greek mythology that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked. A part of the underworld and, in turn, below Uranus (sky), Gaia (earth), and Pontus (sea), Tartarus is the place where, according to Plato in Gorgias (c. 400 BC), souls were judged after death and where the wicked received punishment. Like other primal entities (such as the earth and time), Tartarus is also a primordial force or deity.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;font-family:sans-serif;">Tartarus was used as a prison for the worst of villains, including Cronus and the other Titans who were thrown in by Zeus. Uranus also threw his own children into Tartarus because he feared they might overthrow him. These mishaps included the "hundred-handed-ones", the "cyclopes" and the "giants"

It is a barren and insubstantial null area absent of any physical material. There is only one native denizen to the Phantom Zone, the enigmatic and powerful entity known as the Aethyr. All cause and effect that occurs within the zone does so at Aethyr's capricious whim. Persons who travel into this negative zone are no longer corporeal and exist only as psychic phantasms of their true selves. Though their minds and personalities remain intact, they can no longer physically interact with any other being. This includes direct physical contact as well as the power of speech. Communication within the Phantom Zone is done so by telepathy. As the Phantom Zone exists outside of space/time, those within it are no longer subject to the rigors of age, rendering them effectively immortal.

The Kryptonian scientist Jor-El discovered the existence of the Phantom Zone and introduced it as an alternative means of imprisonment. He had little knowledge of the true inner workings of the zone, but believed that it was a more humane form of punishment over that which they had previously employed. He developed a projection device that could send and retrieve people into the Zone with the simple flick of a switch. The first prisoner to be exiled to the Phantom Zone was the renegade scientist Jax-Ur. Jax-Ur, a former colleague of Jor-El's, was responsible for the destruction of Krypton's moon Wegthor and the deaths of over five-hundred lunar colonists. Over a short expanse of time, the Kryptonian Science Council began exiling the worst of the planet's criminals into the zone, the most famous of which was the military insurrectionist General Zod.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;background-color:rgb(66,33,23);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">When Jor-El later discovered that Krypton was going to explode due to geological instability, he proposed bringing the entire population of Krypton into the zone. Jor-El never had the opportunity or approval to conduct such a plan, and ultimately everyone living on the planet Krypton died when it exploded.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;background-color:rgb(66,33,23);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Those within the Phantom Zone survived, however. It was years before they ever learned the truth about their homeworld's destruction. Several of the exiled criminals, now led by General Zod, found a means of escaping the Zone and eventually came to Earth where they battled the "Last Son" of Krypton, Jor-El's son Kal-El. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;padding:0in;">'''<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">15 See also '<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">{C} Edit '<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"> ''' <p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;background-color:rgb(186,205,216);background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

Previously, criminals were punished by being sealed into capsules and rocketed into orbit in suspended animation with crystals attached to their foreheads to slowly erase their criminal tendencies; Klax-Ar was one criminal who received this punishment but escaped. Gra-Mo was the last to suffer the punishment, for it was then abolished in favor of the Phantom Zone, which was considered more humane and cost-efficient, but an equally effective punishment.

Most have a particular grudge against Superman because his father created the method of their damnation. When they manage to escape, they usually engage in random destruction, particularly easy to them since, on Earth, each has the same powers of Superman. Nevertheless, Superman periodically released Phantom Zone prisoners whose original sentences had been completed, and these fortunately tended to be relatively repentant criminals.

While there, he discovered the truth about the Phantom Zone where it and all its levels are manifested as the interface between the Earth-One dimension and that of a sentient universe called Aethyr.

However, Clark manages to turn the tables, sending them into the portal instead. Aside from its entrance, the Phantom Zone is represented as a floating black square similar to its depiction in the <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Superman <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">films.

Professor Fine persuades Clark to take him to the <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Fortress of Solitude, where he gives Clark a black crystal and instructs him to insert it into the Fortress' control console, misleadingly saying that it will destroy Jor-El and therefore save Martha. However, the crystal, once inserted into the console, instead opens up a vortex in which another black square is seen, with a figure resembling General Zod as portrayed in the <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Superman <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">movies. However, Brainiac's plan is thwarted once Clark removes the crystal. In the episode "Vessel", General Zod is finally freed from the Phantom Zone. After inhabiting <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Lex Luthor, Zod traps Clark inside the Phantom Zone, using a Kryptonian bracelet similar to the one used in the episode "Arrival". In the season premiere of the sixth season, the Phantom Zone itself is shown as a desolate wasteland, and it is revealed that it was created by Jor-El as a prison for not only Kryptonian convicts, but also criminals from the "28 known galaxies". The more dangerous prisoners (e.g. General Zod and Bizarro) are stripped of their corporeal forms, and their spirits are then cast into the Zone. Clark escapes with the help of a Kryptonian woman named <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Raya, who claims to have known Jor-El. To ensure her survival, Jor-El sent Raya to the Phantom Zone just before the destruction of Krypton. Raya reveals that those of the blood of Jor-El's house can utilize a secret exit from the Phantom Zone, therefore Clark can leave. Upon escaping the Phantom Zone, Clark accidentally releases Raya and various prisoners and phantoms to Earth. <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Chloe Sullivan <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">later refers to the escaped convicts as "Zoners". In the season 7 finale, "Arctic", it is revealed that Brainiac has trapped Kara in the Phantom Zone. In the season eight episode "Bloodline", Clark and Lois are both trapped in the Phantom Zone, where they are reunited with Kara. Also, <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Faora, Zod's wife, takes control of Lois' body so she can be set free by Kara, and goes on a rampage in Metropolis. In the season ten episode "Icarus", Clark uses a crystal of El to send <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Slade Wilson <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">to the Zone. When Wilson is found back on Earth in "Dominion", Clark and <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Oliver Queen <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">enter the Zone to see how that escape was possible, and learn that the clone of Zod- who was sent to New Krypton with the others- was sent to the Phantom Zone for his crimes, where he merged with the Phantom of the original Zod, gaining all of his memories, a blood transfusion from Clark allowing him to send others out of the Zone. Clark departs the Zone while destroying the control console on the Zone side to prevent anyone else from leaving.

The crystal transports her to a barren, desolate world where it shatters, casting her to the ground. This depiction of the Phantom Zone suggests that the crystal shard seen in the first two Superman movies is not the Phantom Zone itself, but simply a vehicle that takes prisoners to this desolate wasteland which is referred to as the Phantom Zone. In this movie, it is also revealed that there is a way out of the Zone, but the trip to the exit portal is extremely dangerous.

The ship then launches into orbit around Krypton where three smaller vessels establish a window into the Phantom Zone into which the ship enters. A short time later, the destruction of Krypton triggers the release of the prisoners. Later in the film, it is revealed that the vessels Zod and his army are using possess a "Phantom Drive", a collision from a smaller ship (piloted by Col Hardy of the U.S. Military with Kal-El's rocket and operated byEmil Hamilton <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">and <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Lois Lane) with a similar drive causes a cataclysmic reaction that creates a small singularity, returning the ship and its occupants to the Phantom Zone, along with the Military plane, Hardy, and Hamilton.

According to some character profiles, the Phantom Zone is used by the alternate Superman to "re-educate" several super-villains into joining his side suggesting that the alternate Superman spares villains if he believes they could be useful (such as <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Bane <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">and <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Killer Frost). Near the end of Story Mode, the Zone is used by Superman to safely seal away the alternate Doomsday after the monster is defeated. A portal leading into the Phantom Zone can be found in the Fortress of Solitude stage, combatants can be knocked into a Phantom Zone projector and then spat out of a portal taking damage. They can also be knocked into the Phantom Zone itself at the far left side of the menagerie section where they will collide with one of the crystal fragments housing a monstrous inmate. The inmate will proceed to take a bite out of the fighter's shoulder before being knocked off by a floating rock, and then the fighter will fall through a second Zone portal winding up in the laboratory section of the stage. The character General Zod has limited control of the Phantom Zone as part of his special moves, and can summon an inmate for help as well as momentarily trap his opponent within the Phantom Zone. If Classic Battle is cleared, a cutscene will show the alternate Superman being sucked into the Phantom Zone's portal in the menagerie. As he is pulled closer to the portal, he has several flashbacks of Lois Lane, her death at <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Joker's hands, and his murder of Joker before being pulled into the Zone by a Phantom. The alternate Superman is then seen trapped inside a crystal screaming in anguish as he is banished deeper into the Phantom Zone. General Zod's ending in Classic Battle reveals that Zod's imprisonment has granted him the knowledge necessary to utilise some of the Phantom Zone at will (explaining some of his in-game abilities) as well as his plans to use such abilities in future conquests after he has trapped the Regime's Superman in the Phantom Zone and took over the Regime so that he can make Earth into the image of Krypton.

In a mistaken attempt to destroy the Phantom Zone, where Zod had trapped some of his enemies, the revived Council of Krypton cast the Phantom Zone to the center of the Planet Krypton, causing, first it's implosion, then it's explosion.
