**Optimized Description:** Triter leads Earth's government as a puppet ruler following the planet's conquest by the Illumidus Empire. His administration actively collaborates with the alien occupiers, relying entirely on their support to enforce policies suppressing the human populace. He champions survival through subservience, insisting cooperation with the invaders is humanity’s sole path to continued existence. He exiles Captain Harlock and Emeraldas as outlaws after their rebellion, permanently banning them from Earth. He authorizes lethal force against resistance members, ordering the execution of Maya—voice of the defiant pirate radio "Free Arcadia." During this attempt, he personally shoots the Tokargan fighter Zoll in the back when Zoll shields Maya and Emeraldas, cementing his ruthlessness in crushing opposition to Illumidus rule. Triter’s pragmatism drives his collaboration: he openly defends sacrificing Tokarga to Illumidus aggression as necessary to spare Earth, framing it as a leader’s grim duty. Confronting Harlock, he argues allowing Earth’s destruction to save another world would be a greater betrayal than submission, positioning himself as a counterpoint to Harlock’s idealism and embodying the film’s critique of sovereignty traded for security. The narrative ends with Triter retaining power after Harlock’s departure. His regime endures, enforcing Illumidus directives over a largely resigned populace, underscoring the persistence of collaborationist power structures and the struggle to ignite resistance among the subjugated.
