Cuz they're bandits and cannibals that were constantly murdering and eating actual citizens just trying to make something out of the planet. Once ya start spit roasting babies and skinning other people to wear their skin, you've pretty much just stuck a giant sign on your head that says 'I'm a massive threat to society that needs to be taken care of'."
