 This is some liberal interpretation I'm doing here, and I'm in no way implying that BioWare thought about it this way, just that I find it interesting to look at it this way sometimes.

Ok, so Taris is a pretty ****ty planet. Many dudes make that obvious ( Carth, Zelka, heck, you can see for yourself well enough ).

The rich are spoiled and xenophobic in the upper city, gang wars and cruelty reign in the lower city -- groups of thugs fighting over a dump. The undercity is a trash site with people who don't deserve their fate.

So after all is said and done, isn't it sort of convenient that ( maybe ) the only people still living after the Sith destroyed the surface of Taris to be the victims? Maybe that everyone else got what they deserve?

Of course not all of those people were bad... but in some way, it is God's sense of justice being delivered.

It's like the flood. I mean, assuming it actually happened, probably not absolutely everyone who died by God's punishment must have been bad. Realistically speaking, I don't think so, at least.

I've always thought this as well. While the obliteration of an entire planet (or at least the habitable world city) is never justified, there was poetic justice in the outkasts being the only ones untouched by the orbital bombardment. I think it was clever to make most of the citizens so unlikeable in this context.

Karma perhaps, but not justice. Two wrongs don't make a right unless you're dark side.
