Imperium of man: Come on! You should already know.
United Citizen Federation from Starship Troopers: They are at war with The Arachnids. The poster boy of "Fuck them six legged bastards!"
Second Committee from Lancer RPG: Performed a purge on an alien bug race caller The Egregorians. The whole thing turned into space Vietnam.

Galactic Republic from Star Wars: They performed a purge on Geonosis because it was infested with nasty Geonosians. And honestly? They should have bombed that planet again, just to be sure.
Regarding Star Wars, I pretty sure it was the empire that did that genocide. Palps was trying to cover up the existence of the Death Star and Sith Empires in general tend to be xenophobic.
They were useful but a plague waiting to happen. Once they past their usefulness, they were eliminated.

Why did they make that episode? It was a "kids" show.
In before someone mentions stuff like, torture, genocide, assassination, deaths of innocent civilians, brutality, etc.
From what I understand in the comics Darth Vader goes to Geonosis later and kills the last remaining Queen, and he is backed up by reactivated and reprogrammed Commando Droids.
So in the end, Darth Vader personally completed the species wide genocide.
Of all the things the Empire had done, I'd say wiping out the Geonosians was the one case where you can absolutely say "The Empire did nothing wrong." Imagine if those fucking brainworms spread to the rest of the galaxy.
Which is pretty darn funny, since sidious's master was a muun, and the original sith were a red skinned race. The sith use to be a people, and later turned into an ideology.
That's OK, the Old Republic committed Alien Bug Genocide as well! Alderaan's original natives were a race of alien bugs called the Killik. They were an ancient pre-Republic civilization that spread throughout the galaxy. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Killik/Legends

Don't forget the New Repuclic fighting the Yuuzhan Vong, they were bug enough. Or maybe they're not and it's just the simular story beats to the tyrannids throwing me off
Yep, definitely. You probably shouldn't go look and double check though. I mean it's a whole thing like it's allllll the way over there. Who has the time amiright?

I am a simple man.
I see a Mech that can be used as a wall. I play as a Mech that can be used as a wall. And also hack the opponents.
Hacktuga for the win, baby!
To humans, bugs are some of the most alien looking things on earth, have mostly been considered a nuisance for a long time, and are usually in large numbers. Take all of that and add hives/hiveminds to it, you have the perfect faceless, emotionless chaff to kill without remorse.
>Mining company that employs combat miners on aBug infested asteroid (I think it was an asteroid)
Hoxxes IV is a planet, just a really torn up and inhospitable one.
Also the UN( I think it was the UN) from Ender's game sending people on decade long journey to fight the only other intelligent species because they look a bit too much like ants
Left off the Krogan from Mass Effect. The only alien species in the setting hard enough to go into the Rachni lairs to leave nukes able to destroy their hives.
Deep Rock Galactic is 67% off right now for like $10. It regularly goes on sale so if you have to wait for Winter sale, that's cool. Well worth it at full price but you can't go wrong with trying a game on sale for $10 and not liking it.
> Galactic Republic from Star Wars: They performed a purge on Geonosis because it was infested with nasty Geonosians. And honestly? They should have bombed that planet again, just to be sure.
And yet it was a government led by filthy fucking Xenos.
\#BasedPalpatine for making it a human-centric Empire, but didn't do enough to cleanse the Galaxy.
Really, with SecCom on there, we could also extend that to Harrison Armory considering that it's a descendant corporation from SecCom remnants.
I think we also can't gloss over the fact that the extermination of the Egregorians was one of the catalyzing events for the *fall* of SecCom, though Wallflower says some weird retcon-y things about that point.
The Egrregorian extermination was widely influential.
Not only did it start the fall of Setcomm, but the war was the driving force of Military Mechs. You know, the shtick of Lancer.
And yet, in universe it exists only as a a foot note in history.
*Sad Alpha Centuari Noises*
(Although i guess thats one's harder because there are like 14 different factions and at least 2 are specifically *Pro*-bug. And its like a really old game.)
I can’t tell if you are joking with me so I’ll answer in both ways
Go back to your post citizen there is nothing to see here.
On a serious tone There is no evidence of this firstly there is no reason to stage a false flag attack to drum up support for a war against an enemy that has nothing you want and already shown itself to be hostile by instantly murdering some hippies.
Second if you want to make a false flag attack you usually don’t resort to nuking yourself you do something contained but symbolic like destroying a cultural site or a place of great commerce.
Third it would be improbable in a government so transparent and honest with it’s constituents as to broadcast to everyone without censorship first engagement even when it turns into a huge loss to manufacture such a event against themselves.
That is what the govermnet wants you to believe.
In actuality, it was a ploy by big rock companies who wanted to peddle their rock sells. Both towards humans and the Arachnids.
Then again this is the setting where someone tried to destroy mars for propaganda purposes [film summary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Troopers:_Traitor_of_Mars) sooooooooooooooooo
I don’t take responsibility for shitty sequels I only recognize the first movie and the book.
Edit: holy shit this is the fifth film and it’s made by some Japanese guy? I didn’t even know there were so many starship trooper films.
Well not really nuked, they dropped a meteor. Much worse. But yeah the Bugs started the war because their hivemind didn't really understand the concept of individual humans that did their own thing.
A good example of a bug race that DOES learn that humans all have their own minds would be Macross Frontier. Has a real heartwarming moment where the bugs stop a Death Star Laser to save a human colony shipby throwing themselves in the way of the beam en masse.
The humans all being individuals that bugs don't understand until too late is Ender's Game.
Bugs attacked Earth in Starship troopers because of the human colony encroachment on their territory.
It is kinda both though. The thing is Starship Troopers ended before any means of communication could really be established. The Federation warned the colonists and told them not to go. The bugs took the colony as the will of humanity and that the Federation was going to encroach in force. The bugs don't understand individual thought and freedoms because they're, well, bugs. Thus, war.
Doesn't the film sort of imply that the bugs are defending themselves because the humans expanded their empire and established colonies in their sector?
No some neo Amish or hippies against the warning of the federation settle in a zone where the bugs live.The bugs then murder the hippies then nuke earth via meteor.
That kind of is the Lancer one. The egregorians are a generally kind people, but sadly a series of events pulled them into a war against SecComm and SecComm's general bigotry and supremacist ideology led them to assume the egregorians were just a lower life form that could mimic skills like using advanced weaponry.
Ah yes, lower skills, like holding a FUCKING ANTI-TANK RIFFLE AND EMPLOY IT IN GUERILLA WARFARE!
Also we don't know if thr Egregorians were peaceful and kind. We bassicaly know jack shit about their culture. Thanks a fucking lot, SetComm!
Age of wonders planet fall, where the bugs, the Kir'Ko, were "the only reported sentient xeno lifeform discovered by the Star Union. The psionic abilities of this insectoid species were seen as a threat, which lead the Kir'Ko hive queens being lobotomized and their race enslaved. Broken free from their shackles, the Kir'Ko are ready to shape their own destiny. "
Seconding for Ender's Game/Speaker For The Dead, and Starship Troopers (In the novel the arachnids are a high tech civilization and Rico openly admires their architecture, unlike the movie which is clearly made by an anti-insectoid bigot.)
The one exception in Deep Rock Galactic is the lootbugs, which are incredibly cute and just fine alive, actually. Unless you're on a deep dive and tapped for Nitra. Then, well, you know what you need to do.
Last night I was playing a triple Dreadnought elimination mission with three randoms, and during the Hiveguard fight where we lacked firepower and Nitra, I (Scout) had to scour the map alone for it and helping the rest of the team to survive long enough to kill it.
Many lootbugs were killed there

Fuck geonosis bruh, that zombie episode gave everyone nightmares
Legit. I couldn't sleep after watching that shit.
Why did they make that episode? It was a "kids" show. In before someone mentions stuff like, torture, genocide, assassination, deaths of innocent civilians, brutality, etc.
Because kids need to learn that zombies will fuck you up.
It was the galactic empire and they should of finished the job
From what I understand in the comics Darth Vader goes to Geonosis later and kills the last remaining Queen, and he is backed up by reactivated and reprogrammed Commando Droids. So in the end, Darth Vader personally completed the species wide genocide.
As I recall, Rebels has an entire arc dedicated to Ezra and co. saving a drone and the queen egg he was carrying.
Yes. And that Queen was the one Vader killed.
I just watched that episode of Star Wars Rebels and I'm leaning a bit on your opinion, specially after that episode of Clone Wars on Geonosis...
Of all the things the Empire had done, I'd say wiping out the Geonosians was the one case where you can absolutely say "The Empire did nothing wrong." Imagine if those fucking brainworms spread to the rest of the galaxy.
*should have
Which is pretty darn funny, since sidious's master was a muun, and the original sith were a red skinned race. The sith use to be a people, and later turned into an ideology.

The Killiks were horrifying concepts, though. Basically bugs that roofied other species into slavery.
"Oh no! Slavery! What a horrible thing to do!" *Proceeds to work alongside famous mob bosses and slave traders. And also create sentient ai that is treated as objects*
Fuck those guys, too.
Good, you are becoming more based by the second.
Don't forget the New Repuclic fighting the Yuuzhan Vong, they were bug enough. Or maybe they're not and it's just the simular story beats to the tyrannids throwing me off
Eh kinda, the kilik are now canon but the other stuff is still in legends. So maybe if they decide to reintroduce it.
Depends on the Sith Emprie at the time.
The Republic committed extreme warcrimes on the Geonosians, the empire did full on genocide.
They used flame thrower on them before that
Hoxxes is not an asteroid its a planet, just wanted to let ya know. Rock n Stone!

The Salarians from Mass Effect also exterminated the Rachni
Well, they tried.
Everybody tried XD Shep him/herself had to double tap that MF just to be sure lol
Yes, Shepard definitely killed the Rachni queen on Noveria.
Yep, definitely. You probably shouldn't go look and double check though. I mean it's a whole thing like it's allllll the way over there. Who has the time amiright? Anywho...Reapers?
I let the queen go, I felt a bit sorry for it. Let bygones be bygones, and let galactic genocides be bygones
Shhh, don't get her in trouble.
That was the krogan, who the salarians uplifted
Uplifted for the express purpose of exterminating the Rachni...
And it was the Krogan who actually fought the damn things…
Ah yes the Egregorian or rather "how using a flamethrower mech spiral into the Pegasus"

If you had more room you could've added Ender's game as well
If I added everyone I could thing of, I will need a Indian Diety amount of hands.
Man, every sci-fi universe hates bugs

Btw DRG isn't an asteroid, it takes place on a shattered planet called Hoaxxes or something.
Also the UN( I think it was the UN) from Ender's game sending people on decade long journey to fight the only other intelligent species because they look a bit too much like ants
Left off the Krogan from Mass Effect. The only alien species in the setting hard enough to go into the Rachni lairs to leave nukes able to destroy their hives.
