Story
Shortly after the end of Dark Nights: Metal and Justice League: No Justice, a mysterious new zone titled the Ghost Sector appeares in outer space. Within the Ghost Sector is a large number of planets that were held captive by the Coluans. After being led by Darkseid to the Ghost Sector, Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael begin their search using a stolen Brainiac Skull Ship. Also present in the Ghost Sector is Jessica Cruz, who is being assigned to patrol the area by the Green Lantern Corps.
After barely surviving a crash landing, the four suddenly encounter Darkseid, who tells them his twisted plan of using Cyborg, Starfire, and Azrael to gain control of the multiverse. According to the prophecy, the alien worlds were long hidden away from the multiverse because of the Old Gods they worshipped.[2]
The team eventually attempts an idea with Epoch, the Lord of Time. Orion also appears at some point, rescuing Jessica Cruz after she is killed by Darkseid. Orion initially appears under the guise of Okkult until his ruse is discovered.
