Kori was rescued by Arsenal, who managed to fend off Crux while she gathered her strength. He failed to do so, as Starfire had grown resistant to the technology after the experiments she had undergone by the Citadel, though Crux did severely wound her in the process. Starfire was attacked by Crux, who used Tamaranean technology against her in attempt to strip her of her powers. Crux had targeted Koriand'r after discovering a photograph of her on the internet, and wanted to drain her powers away and gain them for himself. One of the team's earliest adventures led them to encounter an alien hunter named Crux. They later decided to band their efforts, forming a mercenary team called the "Outlaws". The three heroes traveled back to the Caribbean, and Kori and Roy began a sexual relationship.

Jason requested Kori's help in rescuing him, and Red Hood and Starfire succeeded in their mission. Jason lived with Kori for a short time until he learned that Roy Harper was scheduled to be put to death as punishment for protesting in Qurac. Starfire during her time with the Outlaws Jason told her of his history as Robin and his superhero identity as Red Hood, and the two quickly grew fond of one another. Jason reminded Kori of her former lover Dick Grayson, and she decided to use her ship's Tamaranean technology to nurse him back to health. She lived solemnly until she discovered an injured Jason Todd, who had washed up on the island's shores. She found herself in her alien ship on an island in the Caribbean, not knowing how she had got there. Kori lived on Earth for some time and used her powers to fight for justice, before suddenly losing her memories. Kori took control of the ship she had been enslaved upon, liberated the people of Tamaran, and became known throughout the galaxy as Starfire.

After lashing out against a Citadelian guard, Kori projected huge amounts of energy from her body, and realized the experiments conducted on her had unintentionally given her incredible powers. The Citadel suspected she would perish quickly, but she survived motivated by her rage. She was discarded in Takron, a savage prison populated by aliens from the various planets the Citadel had conquered. Kori was taken by the Citadel and was the subject of numerous painful experiments. However, in an attempt to take away the people of Tamaran's will to fight back, they forced Komand'r to publicly banish her sister from the planet. They appointed Komand'r as the leader of Tamaran, seeking to use her as a figurehead to appease the planet's people. The Citadel killed Kori's family, with the exception of her older sister Komand'r, and enslaved the entire population of Tamaran, including Kori.

She lived a happy and peaceful life until her home planet was attacked by the alien conquerers, the Citadel, who operated under the orders of the evil Dominators. Princess Koriand'r was the youngest daughter born to the First House of Tamaran.
