* Maybe this makes Galaxy Quest a series of propaganda shorts. A third-party entity saw that the Thermians were being ruthlessly exploited by Sarris and had no will to fight back. In order to avoid angering Sarris directly, the entity created Galaxy Quest and broadcast it from Earth, to make it appear as an innocuous TV show rather than propaganda. Real, commonplace galactic technology was given Earth-like names ("Beryllium Spheres","Digital Conveyers", etc), but could easily be acquired from other races, explaining why it is readily available on a random alien planet and how the Thermians could have built the technology so quickly. The Galaxy Quest cast and production crew were unaware that this was such a film and added dramatic devices (such as the chompers) for dramatic flair, but the Thermians couldn't distinguish fact from fiction so they threw everything they could into the Protector II, reasoning that it must have some useful function.

* Saris was already in the process of conquering the Thermian home galaxy, and probably would have made quick work of them, had he not learned of the existence of the Omega 13. After Jason makes him look like a bitch after their first encounter, he devotes all his time to tracking down the protector, putting his plans for genocide on hold. Most of the Thermian race had already been wiped out. Jason might've inadvertently cost a few more lives (the space station?) but probably saved many more in the long run.

[[WMG: Guy really didn't have a last name until Jason gave him one]]
It's been noted that even though Jason doesn't have a clue what Guy's last name is on the shuttle ride, he calls him "Fleegman" once they're on the surface. Perhaps Jason, either buying into Guy's WrongGenreSavvy and or else just to shut him up, comes up with the name Fleegman off the top of his head so that Guy will have NominalImportance. It's possible that with quick thinking Jason actually saved Guy's life there.

[[WMG: The previous Thermian commander built the Omega 13 but didn't tell anyone what it actually did.]]
The Thermians' former commander (who was tortured to death by Sarris) was the first Thermian to adopt Galaxy Quest as the foundation for their society and spearheaded the design and engineering of the NSEA Protector. He was brilliant and charismatic in ways that made him the Thermians' natural leader. Like Brandon, he figured out what the Omega 13 was designed to do and built it to those specifications.

Because the Thermians had transportation technology on par with the StarTrek transporters MIB had no way of tracking or preventing them from abducting the Galaxy Quest cast. At the end of the movie when the ship crashes into and destroys a large portion of the convention hall MIB confiscates the ship and neuralizes everyone in attendance.

If you look carefully at the outside of the station as the Protector is flying away, you'll notice it looks like an asteroid or something similar, shaped vaguely like an apple core. It could be that it was actually the home of the Thermians, and that is all that's left after Sarris was done bombing the living hell out of it.
