Landra was an inhabitant of the planet
Galador. She was one of many
Galadorian citizens that volunteered to be part of
Spaceknight program; this was a process that would change them into cyborg weapons for the defense of their planet. The need of such a program became apparent after the savage
Dire Wraiths attacked the "Golden Galaxy." Landra was given the Starshine armor, which enabled her to survive within the cold vacuum of space, project bright laser eye beams and teleport her and at least one other person across interstellar distances. As Starshine she battled alongside Galador's greatest warrior Rom against the Wraiths. Landra eventually lost her life while battling the Wraiths and
Doctor Dredd merged her armor with a female from Earth by the name of
Brandy Clark.
