She escapes imprisonment, accepts the Emperor's mission, and investigates the missing escape pods with Akton, Thor, and Elle.

The Emperor (played by Christopher Plummer) appears in Starcrash. The Emperor rules the galaxy and directs the mission to recover the missing escape pods and locate Count Zartharn's weapon.

Simon (played by David Hasselhoff) appears in Starcrash. Simon is the Emperor's son, whose possible presence in a missing escape pod makes the search especially important. He rescues Stella Star by firing lasers from his eyes, helps Akton continue fighting the robot guards, and later joins Stella and Elle after the victory over Count Zartharn. Thor (played by Robert Tessier) appears in Starcrash. Thor is the Police Chief accompanying Stella Star, Akton, and Elle during the search for the missing pods.
