What I meant is that a mutiny is more likely in a very small subset of people than it would if a leader had a whole police force and government at his disposal, especially if the leader is just one of a handful of people all equally qualified, like a group of six scientists. | |

A mutiny might be excused after the court martial if it is shown Frank was clearly acting in a dangerous or irrational manner and endangering the command, but otherwise his authority is pretty much absolute. The captain, manager or overseer of a colony (or whatever other title they have) will be in the same position as a ships captain or the commander of an aircraft. | |
