Ueda (Arrivederci, Yamato) American voice artist: Lydia Leeds (original) Princess (Mariposa) Japanese voice artist: Keiko Han American voice artist: Corinne Orr Lord Desler: See below. Garmilas The Garmilans (originally Gamilans, Gamilons in the Star Blazers dub) are a race of humanoids from the planet Garmilas in the Large Magellanic Cloud, 50 kiloparsecs (≈160,000 light-years) from Earth. They are biologically indistinguishable from humans aside from their blue skin (although, owing to early series production decisions, they were given human-colored skin for the first ten episodes of the original series). Many of those who appear in the series are named after high-ranking members of the Nazi party. Garmilan civilians seldom appear in the original series implying that it is a highly militarized society, and the few female Garmilans who appear in the series are invariably concubines. In the remake, the Garmilan society is shown with more detail, depicting most Garmilan soldiers as family men, and some females are featured as part of the military as well. In the 2010 live-action film, the Garmilans are depicted as a more alien-like race with a hive mind. (Leader Desslok): Leader of the militant people of the dying planet Garmilas, Desler intends to wipe out the human "barbarians" and migrate his people to Earth. Initially contemptuous of humanity and its struggles to survive, he comes to respect the Yamato as it surpasses endless trials on its journey to Iscandar. He even attempts to use his dying, volcanically active planet as a weapon against the Earth ship, but the ensuing battle results in the near-total destruction of his civilization, and he swears revenge. Apparently killed at the end of the first season when his own Desler cannon backfires and destroys his flagship, he re-emerges in the second season having been resuscitated by the advanced medicine of the Comet Empire. Emperor Zordar grants him the chance to destroy the Yamato, but ultimately he comes to realize that his desire for revenge has made him no better than the Comet Empire, who live solely for conquest; it is Yuki's attempt to protect a wounded Kodai that convinces him that humans are capable of the same love he feels for his people, and he withdraws from battle, aiming to rebuild his civilization (which becomes known as the Galman-Garmillas Empire). Before departing, in the Comet Empire series, he shares an important detail about a potential weakness in the White Comet fortress.
