Who is Emerald Empress?

Origin Sarya The original Emerald Empress was a woman named Sarya, a 30th-century native of the planet Venegar. Venegar (sometimes spelled 'Vengar') was once the site of the highly advanced but long-dead Ekron civilization, whose great scientific secrets were presumed lost. But Sarya came across an ancient map that led her to the hidden Crypt of the Eye . There she discovered the Emerald Eye of Ekron , resting on a green pedestal. Sarya and the Eye quickly formed a symbiotic relationship, and she realized that she could use its almost limitless power to fulfill her wildest ambitions. Within a matter of hours, she conquered her home world and became known as the Emerald Empress. But she proved to be a despotic ruler and the citizens of Venegar soon rose against her in open rebellion. The planet's military forces were strong enough that even the Eye was unable to deal with a worldwide revolt, so the Empress took the Eye and fled into space.
