Tamaran

Tamaran is the home planet of Starfire, her elder sister Blackfire, and the millions of others of the Tamaranean race.

History
When Starfire was a young princess, Tamaran was suddenly invaded by a Gordanian fleet. The king and queen were frightened that the Gordanians would take over the whole world and decided to send Wildfire, Starfire's younger brother, away to an uncharted planet, to preserve the royal family bloodline. Blackfire sided with the enemy and gave them crucial information. She conducted a "truce", which involved in Starfire becoming a prisoner and slave to the Gordanians. Starfire's parents died of a broken heart once Blackfire sent her away, therefore betraying her own world and people.

In the episode, "Ghostboy", Starfire said that it was not uncommon to be struck by sudden laser beams from outer space on her home world.

In "Staff Meeting", Starfire said that some Tamaranians are attached to inanimate objects, and are banished from the city and fed to the Glorthnorg.

In "Staring at the Future", a thirty-year older Starfire had become the Queen of Tamaran. Cyborg and Beast Boy visited her to try and get her to see a movie with them, but she said she had too many "responsibilities" and could not come with them.

In "Mr. Butt", the world appeared twice in flashbacks, showing a five-year-old Starfire and a young Blackfire playing, and how Blackfire had stolen her favorite doll back then.

The planet is shown again in "Tamaranian Vacation", where the Titans wish to visit the world, imagining it to be a wonderful place; due to Starfire's overly sweet personality and positive attitude. The place turns out the be nothing they imagined, from having to breathe in fire-burning oxygen, to simple handshakes starting an all-out war between Tamaraneans and other aliens.

In "More of the Same", Starfire mentioned some type of song all Tamaraneans sing on New Year's eve.
