* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'':
** In "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS06E22Valiant Valiant]]", the titular ship, sister ship of ''Defiant'', is destroyed, [[spoiler:and the only survivors are Nog, Jake, and one girl -- the rest of Red Squad dies]].
** "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS07E08TheSiegeOfAR558 The Siege of AR-558]]" ends with the main characters in addition to 10 or so soldiers alive -- out of a 150-strong unit.
* Similar to the ''SG-1'' example above, another AlternateUniverse gives us this. In the ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS03E08Twilight Twilight]]", we see an alternate timeline in which the Xindi have succeeded in destroying the Earth and nearly every other Earth colony or human outpost. When the episode proper takes place, the retired Captain Archer is a resident of a small human colony of barely 20,000 and the ''Enterprise'' herself is the last true capital ship humanity has. They do manage to undo this bleak turn of events, but they narrowly succeed as the Xindi lay siege to the last of humanity's ships, including nearly completely destroying the ''Enterprise''.

* In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', when the crew figures out that [[spoiler: "Miranda" is a planet]], the crew makes a perilous journey through Reaver territory, to try to find out why [[spoiler:Miranda]] is so important. When they finally land planet-side, they discover the long dead corpses of a planet's population. There were once survivors, but [[spoiler:they all turned into Reavers]].
** Earlier, in the same film, after [[EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep The Operative]] has been outwitted by the crew of ''Serenity'' one more time, he proceeds to [[spoiler: have everyone who has ever provided shelter to the crew killed, en masse, including any [[LeaveNoWitnesses inconvenient bystanders]] and [[AnyoneCanDie Shepard Book]].]] This is what pushes Mal into going to [[spoiler: Miranda to find out just what the Alliance is trying to hide.]]

* In ''Film/TheHatefulEight'', [[spoiler:everyone, past and present, dies... though Warren and Mannix's deaths are merely heavily implied.]]

* Kainan's backstory in ''Film/{{Outlander}}'' involves two separate instances of this trope. Kainan is a human warrior from a highly advanced civilisation far from Earth whose military colonized a planet after wiping out the indigenous population of Moorwen. One Moorwen survived and wiped out the entire colony, after which Kainan captured the dragon-like creature, only to crash land on Earth circa 709AD, setting it free amongst the Vikings.

'''Since this is a DeathTrope, expect spoilers.'''
