Krypton the planet from where Kal-El a.ka. Superman came from is a mystery. An entire history could be written about it. The people of Krypton were a highly technologically advanced race, which makes one wonder, why did they not explore space? They were not from Krypton, they were from another planet orbitting a red sun, it was called Krypton then became known a Krypton-1 when they began exploring space, then became conquerors
The most likely answer is that they were space travellers and had created an empire. Each Kryptonian had the same superpowers which Superman had and dominated their empire for several thousand years. All empires fall one day. A race called the Tazians who were many times more powerful than Kryptonians started defeating them. Their ships were made of some unknown material and their technology many was times more powerful than Kryptonians could even imagine.
With Krypton's ultimate unconditional surrender, was either face genocide or agree to all the terms of these Tazians. All the people of the planet they had come from had to settle on a planet which was similar to Krypton-1. The new planet was titled New Krypton, then Krypton 2 and back to Krypton. The Tazias forbid Kryptonians from space travel or make any hostile star ships.
During the battles with Tazian forces some technology of the Tazians was adopted, including weapons. Thousands of years had gone by. The Tazians were forgotten. The edict preventing space travel remained, no one knew why except for the scholars.
When Jor-El demanded that Krypton should resume making star-ships to escape Krypton's destruction. Those who knew how dangerous the Tazians were, refused to embark on a star-ship manufacturing programme, The last Tazian monitoring station was destroyed when Brainiac's ship collided with it, evidence that the Tazian either had collapsed or on the verge of collapse. Jorel built his own star-ship for his son Kal-el. The tiny ship was well into deep space when Krypton exploded.
The end of the beginning
