The Lightspeed Astronomical Navigation Operating System, also known as LANOS, was an artificial intelligence created by the Guardians of the Universe. This system was constructed at some point after the failed Red Lantern Corps of Oa. After Atrocitus's defeat, a member of the Guardian Council became intrigued by the extent of development of the artificial intelligence Aya that was installed on board the Interceptor. As such, Aya was removed from the vessel and her body was commandeered by the Science Branch for study. This was a fact not known to her Green Lanterns that had accompanied her to Frontier Space. Thus, the LANOS artificial intelligence was installed as a replacement for the Interceptor.
