Maltus

Maltus is a planet located somewhere in outer space. It was the homeworld of the Maltusian race.

History
About ten billion years before the 20th century, Maltus was the center of a great civilization of humanoids. They were known as the Maltusians, now almost forgotten. This civilization's heyday ended when a scientist named Krona conducted experiments of a nature perilous to reality itself.

The Maltusians left their homeworld behind, colonizing other worlds, where offshoots of their race evolved. These offshoots included the Oans, who colonized the planet Oa, forming the Green Lantern Corps, and the Leprechauns, who colonized Earth, and finally the Controllers, who colonized a binary star system.

Although the Maltusian race left their world behind, there technology still existed on the planet, and over the years, a race of lizards evolved on Maltus that were subjects of the Maltusian's genetic experiments. They gained sentience over time and became known as the Psions, and used the technology left behind by their creators. The Psions eventually leave Maltus, and colonize another planet.
