...that moment when you need a certain resource that a empire of 30 planets only has 1 of but you need it so bad so you conquer his systems and genocide his entire species just to get that 1 resource.

You know you're an evil empire when you find a late space age civ on Sol III, and you decide to infiltrate the government, take over, then proceed to purge every single human on the planet.

when you start annexing a primitive civilization using the covert option and start killing a few thousands of people to "save" them from a cruel annexation later.

When you persuade a primitive civilisation to peacefully join your empire...only to immediately begin slowly flooding their entire planet...

When you watch an asteroid collide with a planet. Just to see what will happen. (I haven't done this yet. Anyone know what happens?)
When you're so happy to learn that there's an inverse land of opportunity edict for zenophobes. I'm far too nice for slavery and genocide. Pogroms on the other hand are looking better by the day...
... you enslave the entire population of your neighbor's homeworld and then realize that your pops have a minus 12% happiness malus for xeno slavery. "I could free them," you think, "but they might be kind of unhappy about the whole conquest and brief enslavement thing." So you relocate over a few of your pops and hit the Purge All button instead.

...you make a statement by building Grand Mausoleums for your God Emperors on conquered alien capital worlds.
Nothing says "Lawful Evil" quite like building a monument to yourself amongst all that rubble.

When you decide diplo-annexation takes too long, and you release your vassal just so you can attack 'em again later.
When you invade someone just because you'd like to use one of their systems as a convenient wormhole station hub.
When you intentionally scare your neighbors into forming a federation and get into a war with that federation, just so you can farm debris of ALL their best ship components at once.
When you trap an outmatched enemy fleet that uses hyperdrives, and let them EFTL out only to immediately catch and reengage them, keeping them bouncing over and over until they finally feel the sweet release of death - all in order to get multiple debris piles out of one fleet.
I had no one who liked arid worlds, so I sent one of my base pops to colonize it anyway. If I genetically modified the initial pop, though, the planet would still end up with a bunch of those pops with low habitability - so i intentionally moved the first pop off a food tile, waited for the growing pop to die from starvation, THEN modded the initial pop and put them back on food. All so I don't have to use resettlement - that would be evil!

Well, history will be written in blood and by the winners. So while The Administration might be seem as despicable, horrible and terrible in the current time. Once everyone is properly integrated and optimized for maximum efficiency, we can get down to just rewriting history. The history of how the glorious Administration overcame the barbarous hordes or of inefficiency and laziness. After we fill out Form - B/45-903 aswell as Form - C/54-309, got approval from the ministry of cultural correction aswell as...

When i see that the only two possible goals for achieving victory are conquest and domination
and,
when i wished that some modder created a carnivorous trait, in which your species would get a food bonus after a pop of another species suspiciously disappear from the one of your planets right after lunch time....

When I created the Imperium of Man.
Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean.

When your first thought upon seeing that a pop joined a faction is "Oops, I forgot to enslave that guy."

Oh men. I thought I was ruling a tyrany because I kept the juice of eternal youth to my leaders instead of giving it to the people...

I actually tried to be more moraly grey and ambiguous in my last run. Somehow my bureaucratic technocracy turned into the most horrific government I could imagine, way worse than even my fanatic xenophobe one.Oh men.

...When you play as a pacifist and then decide to smash that fallen empire in your neighbourhood for no other reason than to loot its tech.
... when your species is fanatical militarist xenophobe with purge active and you establish an embassy with a fanatical isolationist militarist ascendant empire because you inadvertently created a border with them before checking out their species information. Just buying myself some time xenos, don't go anywhere I'll be along for you later! ^^
My first victims were the nice xenophilic, fanatic pacifist penguin neighbours. Their response when I declared they are now to be enslaved was "But........why?" I really felt bad for them.
