The Polaris system is a star system that revolves around the North Star, Polaris. One of the primary worlds of the Polaris system is the planet Thanagar. It is part of Green Lantern Corps Space Sector 2682. Thanagarians describe Polaris as a "harsh sun" and the "fierce witness to uncounted battles".

The ultraviolet radiation from Polaris became so intense that Thanagar's atmosphere ignited
