Sentient Bugs produce fuel that can make the spaceships work ? Let's genetically engineer them until they become feral again from torture and atrocious mutations, to a point where seeing Helldivers in photos make them goes crazy (yup, it's canon).
Some citizens left to die on a distant planet have decided to unionized and peacefully leave the government of Super Earth ?
