Note: this is a fight between two ideological factions of people of all the same race and variation of social status – note that the Krull weren’t included in the slaughter, just Drith “blood traitors” who aren’t zealously engaged in their horrible religion. This alone makes the situation different from other scenarios that might be less fictional and therefore not directly comparable, ergo the commentary on the effectiveness of retaliation versus peacefulness wouldn’t be directly transferrable.
