I'm rewatching Crest of the Stars with friends and we just saw our heroes' escape hindered by the ruler of the outpost where they stop for fuel. His plan of course is to exploit the chaos to form a breakaway state of himself, his dad locked in a closet, and fifty maids. Me? I'm just thinking of him:
