Sarris
Deep in the Klatu Nebula, the brave Thermians have been trying to survive the advances of the genocidal Sarris, leader of a gang of Fatu-Krey soldiers that almost resemble humanoid dragons. The bonus for Sarris: he's got what looks like a tarantula growing out of his head. Stan Winston and his crew sure do have an imagination...
Anyway, Sarris has been offing Thermians at an alarming rate. Their home planet has been destroyed and billions are dead. Only a noble few remain on board the NSEA Protector, a ship built to the exact specifications of another ship seen on "historical documents" beamed into space from the planet Earth. Confused? Well, the Thermians sure are, because those documents were actually episodes of a low-budget sci-fi TV show from the 80's called Galaxy Quest, in which actor Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen) plays Commander Peter Quincy Taggert, head officer onboard the Protector. Faced with extinction, the Thermians do the only logical thing they can and seek out Taggert and his crew for help against Sarris.
Sarris, who unlike the Thermians is well-versed in deception and delivering terror, soon realizes that this dream team of officers is nothing more than a group of actors, and the sad desperation of the Thermians fuels his sick taste for pain even more. Little does Sarris expect, however, that Nesmith and his "crew" would put up a fight. Armed with the experimental Omega 13 device, endless techincal expertise at the hands of the Galaxy Quest fans, and a great deal of luck, Nesmith and company defeat Sarris and give new life to the Thermian race... as well as their own Galaxy Quest franchise.
INTELLIGENCE - 6: Defeating Thermians in the past was like blasting fish in a barrel. Faced with a stronger resistance, Sarris shows weakness.
POWER - 6: While big and strong, the Fatu-Krey are a bit awkward on their feet.
VILENESS - 7: Sarris takes great pleasure in toying with (and destroying) the simple-minded Thermians.
SWAY - 9: With his booming voice and unrelenting intensity, Sarris could intimidate the Thermians easily. Humans too.
PURITY - 7: His hatred for the Thermian race fuels some terrible acts.
PHYSICAL - 10: As if the weapons on his ship weren't scary enough, get a load of this guy's face!
TOTAL: 45
