    I am reminded of Babylon 5.

    As an act of simple survival, the Narn Regime agreed to an unconditional surrender to the Centauri on December 10th, who then re-occupied the Narn homeworld with military forces and enslaved the Narn people once again. Ambassador Mollari returns to Babylon 5 to announce the terms of the surrender:

    The ruling body of the Narn Regime, the Kha’Ri was to be disbanded and its members subject to arrest and prosecution for war crimes against the Centauri. An Earth Alliance request to send observers to these proceedings is denied.

    To “prevent further acts of terror,” the Centauri impose an edict that the penalty for the murder of any Centauri by any Narn will result in the execution of 500 Narns, including the perpetrator’s entire family.

    Narn and all its colonies are to become protectorates of the Centauri Republic, and as such the Republic will create a ruling government over the Narn worlds.

    I know Sci-Fi is a look at modern times with a different coat of paint, but god damn.
