When the Justice League defeated and dismantled the android Amazo on August 3, they intended to send the parts to two different STAR Labs facilities, one in Boston and one in New York. The parts were intercepted en route, but when the Team defeated Amazo again, the parts were successfully sent for analysis to the two separate STAR Labs.[3]
When Klarion and his fellow sorcerers cast a spell to split the world into two dimensions, one for children and one for adults, Lawrence Crock led a mob of angry and confused parents to the Gotham facility, demanding to know where their children had gone. Gotham City Police Department officers, led by Commissioner Gordon, defended the facility. This distraction gave Riddler a chance to sneak in and steal the last Starro fragment,[4] which had been brought to the facility after Black Manta's attack on Poseidonis.[9]
Black Canary, Captain Atom and Nightwing discussed recent events in a STAR Labs office. Blue Beetle interrupted to tell them that he betrayed humanity in Impulse's future and demanded they remove his scarab.[12]
Nightwing and the Team interviewed Green Beetle to confirm his identity, including a half-hearted telepathic scan by Miss Martian. They later discussed the additives the Reach planted in their drink.[15]

Outside STAR Labs, Jaime and Green Beetle discussed freeing Jaime of his scarab's influence. Green agreed to turn off his scarab,[15] but in fact put it on-mode, making Jaime the Reach's puppet.[13]
Tired of undergoing tests, Virgil, Tye, Asami Koizumi and Ed escaped the facility. Meanwhile, most of the Amazo parts recovered from the wreckage of the Hall of Justice were delivered to STAR for safe keeping.[13]
STAR Labs came under attack by Red Volcano, who wanted Amazo. Blue Beetle and, soon after, the teens arrived to help. Beetle was able to destroy the robot, but not before massively damaging the building. The runaways rescued the endangered staff, and fled the scene when Beetle was beset by reporters.[13]
Cheshire led a break-in on STAR Labs with Shade, Mist and Livewire. They escaped with a Reachdevice that was being studied by Silas Stone, though Cheshire was shot in the arm by security guard Casey Klebba. The device was subsequently recovered and returned to STAR.[5]
Dr. Stone received phone calls while working in his lab, first from his son, then from Steel informing him he was being sent a Fatherbox for study, which was brought to him by Green Lantern that evening.[18]
Victor Stone came to argue with his father. As he left, the Reach device exploded. Vic was severely injured in the explosion, and his father used the Fatherbox to heal him. After creating a coccoon and generating cybernetic implants to replace Vic's damaged body parts, Vic was released. The Fatherbox took over Vic's mind and began to attack his father. Violet Harper arrived by boom tube and was able to cleanse Vic of the Fatherbox's control. Still angry with his father, Vic left with Violet.[19]
STAR's board of directors wanted to open a facility in Vlatavastok. Queen Perdita Vladek was to be given a tour of the Star City lab while she was in town, but was abducted by armored attackers soon after her arrival.[6] In fact, Perdita had been attempting to secretly transfer some Kryptonite found in Vlatava to Serling Roquette.[21]
S.T.A.R. Labs occasionally appeared in the Teen Titans storylines of the 1980s. Much of Cyborg's supporting cast, including his parents, Silas and Eleanor Stone, and his former love interest, Dr. Sarah Charles, worked for S.T.A.R. Labs. Cyborg would frequent S.T.A.R. Labs facilities nationwide to rehab from time to time and get refitted for parts.
