One of the oldest planets in the universe, Oa serves as the homeworld and headquarters for the Green Lantern Corps and their superiors, the Guardians of the Universe. It contains a training center, a dining hall, a memorial hall, a hall containing the Green Lantern Corps' constitution, and specialized prison cells called Sciencells.[1]

Oa has been destroyed and rebuilt twice throughout its history, with Mogo serving as its replacement.[2]
