    In universe they are justified because Tyranids.

    Tyranids won’t just kill every person on a planet, they will eat everyone, every animal, every tree, every insect and strip a planet back to the minerals and then do it again. They arent immoral because they have no morals.

    In the face of that literally anything is justified even if it’s horrific.

      This is an entire universe designed around what a fourteen year old thinks is cool. It is not equipped to answer Sartre’s question “why not commit suicide?”
