Speciecide

Speciecide is the systematic genocide of an entire species.
==History==
Speciecide has occurred various times in the past in various ways. It would sometimes happen as a result of a war (whether internally or with other civilizations), and other times it would be the result of a catastrophic error (such as the discovery and misuse of a powerful energy source). Some species were wiped out due to their inherent danger to the galaxy, while others were destroyed for being an impediment to some tyrant's grand schemes.
===Examples===
*The Gralians were once a warrior species during the early eras of the galaxy and led to the extinction of various enemy civilizations.
*The Neodytrai killed off two rival species in recent history.
*The Aaltice exterminated 14 species during their long history; each time was a necessary result of the target species being extremely violent or outright psychotic and posing a then-current or future danger to innocent life.
