Genocide

Genocide was the destruction or attempted destruction of either an entire species or specific group of people. It can be contrasted with murder, which involved the killing of individuals rather than entire populations.

On Gallifrey, by the time of the Sixth Doctor, article 7 prohibited any form of genocide for the Time Lords. (TV: Terror of the Vervoids) The Doctor seemed to be vehemently opposed to genocide, especially if there was an alternative to ending the conflict; the Tenth Doctor claimed that, if one looked up the word "genocide" in a dictionary, they would see a picture of him, with the caption "over my dead body", (TV: The Doctor's Daughter) while the Eleventh Doctor insisted that genocide was never a solution, even in a seemingly endless war like that between the Sontarans and the Rutans. (GAME: The Gunpowder Plot) In regards to genocide motivated by revenge, the Twelfth Doctor rhetorically asked "why avenge genocide with genocide." (TV: For Tonight We Might Die) However, the Doctor themself resorted to genocide, intentionally or otherwise, on several occasions. (TV: The Runaway Bride, Journey's End) On some occasions, the Doctor was presented with an opportunity to end the suffering of countless species by wiping out his greatest foes, the Daleks, but couldn't go through with it. (TV: Genesis of the Daleks, The Parting of the Ways)

Dalek genocides
As the Daleks believed in racial purity and their superiority, they were responsible for countless acts of genocide during their history and through the cosmos. Ironically, the first race to be exterminated by the fledgling Daleks were their own humanoid forebears, the Kaleds, with human historians understanding that the Kaleds were utterly eradicated with only Davros, the Daleks' creator, being known to have survived. (PROSE: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe) Indeed, one Dalek would later observe that the Daleks, having originally been devised as a way to preserve the Kaleds, had failed in their mission. (TV: The Power of the Doctor)

(TV: Victory of the Daleks)

The Doctor's genocides

He even taunted Sutekh as he seemingly died in the "temporal trap", asking him how long Osirans live, before finally declaring, "The time of the Osirans is long past. Go." (TV: Pyramids of Mars) The Fifth Doctor twice encountered other living Osirans, but was forced each time to destroy them as well. (PROSE: The Sands of Time, AUDIO: The Bride of Peladon)

The Fourth Doctor tripped Eldrad, the last Kastrian, causing him to fall into a pit. Although the fall appeared to be fatal, the Doctor doubted he had really been killed. (TV: The Hand of Fear) He later encountered another surviving Kastrian, Mulkris, assigned to ensure that Eldrad's death sentence was carried out. (AUDIO: Eldrad Must Die!)

With Leela's help, the Fourth Doctor destroyed the last of the Fendahl. He dropped the remains of the Fendahl into a supernova to ensure their permanent destruction. (TV: Image of the Fendahl) However, this attempt appeared to have failed, as the Fendahl later managed to re-manifest in Kaldor City, (AUDIO: Checkmate) and the Eighth Doctor discovered that the Fendahl he defeated was only a fragment of the true Fendahl that remained trapped on Planet 5 (although the true Fendahl was consumed by the Fendahl Predator). (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5)

The Fourth Doctor may be arguably responsible for the death of Ligeia Bassett, the self-proclaimed last of the Valjax, as he destroyed the equipment that she was using to keep herself alive after her people were struck by a lethal plague, with Ligeia only keeping herself alive by transferring herself into the bodies of human women, this process resulting in accelerated ageing and only serving as a temporary stop-gap measure. (AUDIO: The Auntie Matter)

(PROSE: The Eight Doctors)

The War Doctor was about to commit double genocide when he planned to destroy the Time Lords and the Daleks at the end of the Last Great Time War with the Moment. It was apparently Rassilon's Ultimate Sanction, which threatened the whole multiverse, that convinced him he had no other choice. He believed to have committed it until the final days of his eleventh incarnation. (TV: Dalek, The End of Time, The Day of the Doctor, et al.) Actually, with the help of the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors, he found a different solution and with the help of "all thirteen" incarnations of himself, froze Gallifrey and the Time Lords in a pocket universe while the Daleks destroyed themselves. He forgot about these events because the timelines were out of sync. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)

During the Dark Times, the Fledgling Empires all but wiped out the Racnoss to prevent their devouring of planets.
