Kandor
From Smallville Wiki
Kandor was a large city on the planet Krypton. It was the home of the exiled House of El members, Zor-El and his daughter Kara.
Kandor was home to many important buildings for Krypton and the Science Council. It was home to the Science Council's military headquarters, the government building where the Science Council commute and also had a large mine which was run by Zor-El.
Zor-El started to ignite Krypton's core from Kandor's mine before Jor-El stopped him to tell him that General Zod had been captured and that he was under arrest for his association with Zod and lockdown the control room. Zor-El then contacted Brainiac who overrode the lockdown and Zor-El re-ignited Krypton's core which subsequently started Krypton's destruction.
When Kara found out about her father's association with Zod, she contacted her aunt Lara and told her that Zor-El was planning to destroy Krypton. Zor-El found her and tried to stop her but she pushed him onto hologram crystals and injured him. He then erased her memories of that day and sent her away in the ship he planned to use to escape Krypton along with a Blue crystal so she could resurrect him on earth as he couldn't make the journey to earth injured.
Kandor was destroyed along with Krypton when the planet exploded. Jor-El, Lara-El, and Zor-El's physical bodies were all destroyed as well, although replicas or artificial versions of each of them were sent to Earth aboard Kryptonian spaceships.

[edit] In the Comics
In the DC Comics universe, Kandor was once the capital of Krypton until it was shrunken and stolen by the supervillain Brainiac, several years before the planet was destroyed. Superman discovered the city in Brainiac's possession when the android came to Earth decades later to harvest more cities (Action Comics #242, Jul 1958) and rescued it, keeping it in his Fortress of Solitude while looking for a way to restore it to full size. In return, the Kandorians provided the superhero with a place where he was an honored guest, various professionals to assist him when asked and even occasionally assisted him in the outside with the Superman Emergency Squad.
