How big is the Star Empire though...the home planet being destroyed should be bad for sure, but I had assumed they owned dozens of other systems. Kind of like nuking Washington DC or NYC; a huge loss but that in its own shouldn’t put them on the brink of extinction.
That’s why it’s also complicated to have the Federation decide they’re pulling out of assistance because 19 planets or whatever disagreed. Wouldn’t that still be a small minority of the whole organization? Does that mean the other few hundred species were like eh, this genocide is ok, that old bald dude is irritating anyhow.
