Jordan steals a space ship controlled by Aya (an AI) and travels to “Frontier Space” together with Kilowog. This is the very edge of the Guardians‘ territory, where Green Lanterns are being killed by the Red Lanterns. Atrocitus, their leader, wants revenge for the destruction of his world by the Manhunters, created by the Guardians, but who were also shut down by the Guardians. During their adventure, they meet a Red Lantern called Razer. They take him as a prisoner, but eventually adopt him as a teammate after he helps them defeat Atrocitus. Razer also falls in love with Aya, but after Atrocitus’ defeat she becomes evil (i.e. corrupted) and decides to eliminate all life in the universe. -Wikipedia
