!! The Space People films provide examples of:
* AsteroidThicket: The crew flees into an asteroid field to escape from Lady Gravatox, with IPAL providing particularly unhelpful navigation around the asteroids.
* BlindJump: With the Starskimmer critically damaged and Lady Gravatox in pursuit, Vek orders Mara to open a wormhole to "the other side of the galaxy" without any more specifics.
*TheBridge: The Starskimmer has very small one with five crew members crammed in tightly.
*CaptainSpaceDefenderOfEarth: Captain Vek Tempus fits this character type to a degree.
*CasualInterstellarTravel: The Starskimmers (and most other alien ships in the series) have the ability to generate wormholes and travel at "photon speed," allowing for easy travel throughout the galaxy.
*CoolStarship: Well, the main ship is a vortex football covered in aluminum foil... In fact, all of the ships are very obvious models constructed of household items.
*FasterThanLightTravel: The Starskimmer is able to travel very quickly at "photon speed," though it doesn't quite seem to be faster than light. Wormholes appear to bed required to cover truly vast distances.
*FlyingSaucer: Lady Gravatox's ship in the first movie has a vaguely saucer-like design. More traditional-looking cartoon flying saucers appear in some of Cosmic Ray's advertising.
*GalacticConquerer: Lady Gravatox's ultimate goal is to conquer the galaxy. [spoiler:Lord Tempus] actually succeeded at conquering the galaxy in his universe.
*InexplicableCulturalTies: One of the main jokes of the movie. The aliens all look mostly-human, speak perfect English, and overall seem to have a very Earth-like culture.
*OurWormholesAreDifferent: For one thing, they can be generated almost spontaneously by most spacecrafts. Ships enter wormholes, travel through some distorted space, and emerge across the galaxy.

The films cover the adventures of Captain Vek Tempus and his Space Squad crew, a group of mostly-humanoid aliens from the other side of the galaxy. In the first film, Captain Tempus makes a detour from a routine escort mission in order to pursue his arch-nemesis, the flamboyant would-be galactic empress Lady Gravatox. The resulting chaos forces the crew to flee across the galaxy where the end up stranded on Earth, where no one believes they're truly extraterrestrials because - due to the film's low production values - they all look like people wearing incredibly cheesy costumes. All in all, the campy, lo-fi aesthetic of the two films is part of the appeal.
Both films screened at multiple genre-oriented film festivals throughout 2016 and 2017 and are now streaming on [[https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/storefront/ref=atv_app_avd_vnt_plp_TkdKWUE?ie=UTF8&plpId=TkdKWUE Amazon Prime Video]]

''Space People 2'' sees Captain Tempus framed for an assassination attempt on the galactic president and forced to flee to Earth while his crew works to clear his name. The assassination soon proves to be just the first step in a massive conspiracy to conquer the galaxy orchestrated by a mysterious villain.
