mutineered

Crew seized command

Mutineered is the past tense of mutiny, meaning to rebel against authority—typically sailors or soldiers rising up against their commanders.

The verb form is less common than the noun: The crew mutineered after months without pay.

The word implies organized resistance rather than individual disobedience.
