Quotes 

• Vargas : My ancestors came here on that first shipment. They had nothing! The Federation gave them no tools, no supplies! So they worked together! *They worked hard!* And made a community! There were children born here. They were settlers trying to build a new world on a new planet! Later, more Federation prisoners came. There were disagreements. The community began to break up. They fought and killed. All that they had achieved was being destroyed! And it was my great-great-grandfather who found a way to unite them. He gave them a religion. Brought them together in the love and fear of God! That is the line I stem from! *That is what gives me the right to rule!*

• Vargas : I am the supreme power here.

  [he picks up Blake's gun and points it at him] 

  Vargas : My word is law. My followers obey without question. They worship me.

  Blake : Or fear you.

  Vargas : The two are inseparable.
