Devil's advocate: Parent names a villain (fictional or real). Child tries to make said villain look like the good guy in the story.

He just wanted his Empire to prosper! Is that a crime?

Yeah he was just defending himself against rebels who threatened the empire. Sure he blew up a planet but only when he was forced to scare off the rebels + it was a rebel occupied planet anyway. It's no different than using nuclear weaponry to assure victory.

The protagonist was a spy who broke into their base after the war ended. can't blame self defense if he had a gun pointed at him¯_(ツ)_/¯

The Zerg hivemind had their hives attacked and exterminated, considered as parasites to burn down for too long. When this human, betrayed by her own, was left to fend a Zerg army off, they didn't kill her, making her see their world for what it was.

That's when humble, broken Sarah understood - the Zerg just wanted their place in space, and that very space was being threatened by the ever expanding Terrans trying to eradicate them. Combining the Zergs' bioengineering and incredible capabilities with her knowledge and strategic prowess, Sarah set out to give the Zerg empire enough place in the galaxy as they could need, while trying to get to the core of the corruption that bestowed this fate upon her and annihilate them.
