The Glades is a hazardous, dangerous area of Star City that appear to predominantly be inhabited by the city's lower-class citizens. In 2013, the east section of the Glades was destroyed by a Markov Device in an event known as the Undertaking. While a second Markov Device was disabled by Quentin Lance before it could be activated, a total of 503 people were killed in the disaster and a majority of the neighborhood was left in ruins.
