Xandar is a fictional planet appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The planet is depicted as being in the Tranta system in the Andromeda galaxy. It is best known as the home world of the Nova Corps, an intergalactic police task force. Xandar is also the home planet of Firelord and Air-Walker, former Heralds of Galactus as well as the super-villain Supernova.
Blown apart in an attack by the Luphomoid Zorr, Xandar is saved from complete destruction by the timely intervention of the Watcher, who assists the Xandarians in creating a network of interconnected domed cities out of the largest remaining pieces of the planet.
The planet is later nearly destroyed by the Skrulls. Later still Nebula destroyed the planet and the Nova Corps. The Nova Corps were resurrected by Richard Rider aka Nova who used the Nova Force power to reboot the Xandarian Worldmind computer which proceeded to clone the dead Xandarians including Adora their Queen.
The war-torn planet is, once again, completely destroyed, and the Nova Corps decimated at the hands of Annihilus. Rider stands as the last surviving Nova Corps member following the massacre. The collective hive mind which resided in Xandar's core, an entity known as the Xandarian Worldmind, also survived and is now housed within Rider's newly modified uniform, which has also been enhanced to assist him in containing the full measure of the Nova Force.
For a short time, the living planet known as "Ego" became a temporary home for the corps, known as "New Xandar." This was short lived, as it was revealed Ego's intelligence was gradually returning and was attempting to corrupt the newly re-formed Nova Corps.
The Xandarian Nova Corps were originally Xandar's militia and had 500 members. After their planet was devastated by Zorr and restructured into a network of inter-connecting domed cities the Xandarians guided by the Worldmind became a more proactive peace keeping force helping stop threats in the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies.
