Stock Phrase of a villain that signifies a Kick the Dog, especially if the victims are (comparatively) helpless. If the villain isn't the one directly causing mass murder or ordering his mooks to do it, then he's shown giving this instruction to a Psycho for Hire or Hitman with a Heart. The naval expression for this is "No Quarter". In Real Life, it's a war crime.
Of course, if a Doomed Hometown suffers this fate, then it's more likely than not that the hero escapes such a culling and goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
Sink The Life Boats is the subtrope dealing with killing enemies who were alive after surviving the destruction of a vehicle.
Compare, contrast with Shoot Everything That Moves and Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies. Going one step further from "kill everyone" to organized torture, looting, and massacre of the population is Rape, Pillage, and Burn. If you have to kill everyone because they saw too much, that's Leave No Witnesses. When this fails, it often falls into the category of Genocide Backfire. See also Traumatic C-Section and "Everyone Dies" Ending.
Unrelated to the 1997 game.

In the Confederation of Valor series, the Others are well known to not take prisoners. Which confuses the characters intensely in Valor's Trial: They're in a POW camp. The Reveal? It isn't run by the Others, a.k.a. the Primacy.

In the Episode 0 StarCraft campaign Loomings (which got released as free shareware), a Confederate magistrate sends you, a lieutenant in Alpha Squadron, off to take care of a Sons of Korhal uprising by saying in your mission briefing: "There are to be no arrests, Lieutenant. I hope you understand what I mean. I want this problem solved once and for all."

Executing captive troops became an option within the game series from Total War: Rome II and onward. Specific effects depend on the game, but it at least always affects your diplomatic standings by angering your enemy and factions friendly with them while making those who dislike your enemy to like you better. This is contrasted with the options of ransoming the captives for money, or pressing them to join your forces to immediately replenish some of your troops' losses. Total War: Three Kingdoms also allows you to consider executing (as well as ransoming or employing, if they'll allow the latter) generals if you manage to capture them, with executing them giving you their ancilliaries or equipment.

Fire Emblem has Rout the Enemy (in layman's terms: kill all opposing forces) as the standard stage objective in all games.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses also has this in-story, when the armies of the three nations face each other at Gronder Field after the Time Skip. Prince Dimitri of the Kingdom of Faerghus, who at this point isn't exactly in the most stable state of mind, explicitly yells at his forces to "Kill every last one of them!" before rushing into battle. This doesn't factor into gameplay, however, even on Dimitri's route, as the battle's goal is actually to defeat the enemy armies' commanders, which will make them retreat.

Honor Harrington:
Narrowly averted in Echoes of Honor. When the combined Grayson-Manticore fleet with the new podnaughts rides to the defence of the Basilisk System against a People's Republic of Haven attack, the Graysons are seeking revenge for the judicial murder of Honor Harrington by the Peeps, so their commander, High Admiral Yanakov, orders an all-out attack on the Peep fleet. Earl White Haven, commanding the combined force, nearly has a heart attack when he thinks Admiral Yanakov ordered "no quarter," but then he realizes that Yanakov actually ordered "no mercy" — which means "destroy any ship capable of fighting, but not the life pods."
Narrowly averted once again in Uncompromising Honor. In the final Honorverse novel, the Manticoran, Havenite, Beowulfan, and Grayson fleets translate from hyperspace into the Sol System right ontop of a three Solarian destroyers out on a training exercise. Honor orders her ships to open fire with her very, very long-range missiles. The commander of the Solarian flotilla immediately surrenders. Honor ignores his attempts at surrender and ignores her officers when they tell her the Solarians are surrendering. She ends up aborting the missile strike.
Invoked in the Echoes' Children Filk Song "No Quarter", based on the book.

Command & Conquer: Generals:
In the third USA mission of the vanilla campaign, the GLA are intent on wiping out a large American force in full retreat. The mission is to rescue 100 American units from their GLA pursuers.
In the fourth China mission of the Zero Hour expansion pack, the tables are turned as it is now the GLA in full retreat while China is on the hunt. The opening cutscene tells us that the Chinese premier has declared that China will hunt down the GLA to the last soldier. Indeed, the mission itself is about cutting off all escape routes and ensuring that not a single GLA unit escapes the map.

Paranoia: While the game encourages the PCs to kill some of their teammates to set up a Deceased Fall-Guy Gambit ("'I speak without fear of contradiction...' is the opening sentence of the ideal debriefing"), it warns against this trope because it looks suspicious.

It is standard Republic procedure to gun down all surrendering battle droids. Even when they drop their weapons, raise their hands, and scream for mercy. This is frequently played for laughs.

In X3: Albion Prelude's Guilt-Free Extermination War between the Earth State and its Lost Colony, the Argon Federation, both sides will indiscriminately murder any civilian craft that is between them and the enemy defenders, and if the invaders kill the defenders, they will then Rape, Pillage, and Burn, systematically destroying all civilian ships and stations. In previous games the AI functioned the same, but it was limited to small border skirmishes between rival empires (Argon versus Paranid, Boron vs. Split) or repelling invading the Xenon or Kha'ak, without the wide-scale destruction of the Albion Prelude war.

The "prisoners" line probably stems from the opening scene featuring Romulans instead of Klingons. The KM test is in Gamma Hydra near the Neutral Zone — near the Romulan Empire in TOS. Also, the Klingon Bird of Prey in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was originally designed as an update to the TOS Romulan ship (Klingon didn't use Birds of Prey until that point). The decision to switch from Romulans to Klingons was apparently made by the writers at the suggestion of Leonard Nimoy, who felt they made better bad guys.

On the other hand, there is no gameplay mechanic to take prisoners anyway...

In The Stormlight Archive, Sadeas executes a bunch of listeners for the "crime" of trying to surrender to him instead of giving him a proper fight. Aside from the obvious evilness of this action, this meant that the Parshendi would refuse to surrender or offer any quarter to their human opponents in later battles, which just amplified the bloodshed on both sides. This brutality would lead the Parshendi to believe that the only hope for survival was to seek out their "old gods" to gain access to the Forms of Power and summon the Everstorm, which is what Odium needs to advance his plans. If not for Sadeas's actions, the Desolation would have been at the very least delayed and weakened somewhat.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
Exploited (and mixed with a Wounded Gazelle Gambit) by Klingon General Martok and the Defiant (under Dax's command) after full-scale war with the Dominion breaks out. The Defiant and Martok's IKS Rotarran take turns sitting in space faking serious damage (low power, leaking fuel, weapons and engines off) and sending out a distress signal, then wait for the Jem'Hadar to come by looking for an easy kill, whereupon the other ship decloaks and blindsides them.
When the Cardassian rebellion becomes a full-scale civilian revolt in "What You Leave Behind", the Female Changeling gives the order to kill every last one of them (the entire planetary population). Her only response to being told "That's going to take some time" is "Then I suggest you begin at once". Fortunately, our heroes manage to prevent it being completed (in part because most of the guards at Dominion HQ were sent out to kill Cardassians), but over eight hundred million are still killed during the attempted genocide.

In Band of Brothers, Easy company comes across another American company who had just won a battle with a German squad. One of the German soldiers was a German-American (born in the US) who was fighting for Germany, somewhat against his will. For some unspoken reason, the soldier seemed sad about being captured, even after getting American cigarettes from Easy. As they left the area, the men of Easy company heard the gunshots of the other platoon. Seems that the Americans didn't have enough supplies to take prisoners and the American-born had understood the discussion about it earlier.

Forgotten Realms:
Drow nobles have such a nice tradition. The Dark Elf Trilogy put this to use by making it completely unspoken. Klingon Promotions are a cornerstone of drow society: noble houses move up in rank by slaughtering the house above it. However, by their definition of "justice", if even one survivor is left to accuse them, their house will be exterminated as punishment. It's kind of hard to track them all, and hard to tell when they try to disguise, so there's no need for those in command to order their soldiers to kill anything that moves and then comb the compound afterward for any secret rooms where others may be hiding.
Later sources elucidated the details. The obvious reason for this tradition is that whenever two parties among the drow are allowed to enter a Cycle of Revenge and others start taking sides, this eventually ends in an open civil war and complete destruction of the city. Naturally, with such prospects the rest of a community prefers to limit the damage to those already involved. Thus if two Houses begin an assassination war or other escalating hostilities, others will push them into an open attack as soon as possible — one side ceases to exist, the conflict ends. This also is applied only to legitimate members of the House, i.e. anyone who officially switched allegiance to another House, mercenary band or merchant clan doesn't belong to the House which gets eradicated/accused; this doesn't happen every day, but one guy survived the destruction of his House with Spider Queen's personal involvement without so much as leaving his city.

Steven Universe: This was the purpose of the Diamond's final attack on Earth during the original Gem War, greatly fueled as a last-ditch revenge act for not only sabotaging their colony but also because the Rebellion leader Rose Quartz shattered Pink Diamond. However, because Pink Diamond was not with them, the attack corrupts all the unprotected Gems still on Earth instead of shattering them. Not that corruption is much better than death.

After the halfway point of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, both sides have essentially made this into military doctrine. The use of the Cyclops at JOSH-A prompts ZAFT soldiers to massacre every OMNI soldier they can find at Panama (after they were already rendered helpless by the Gungnir), and OMNI does the same to ZAFT at the Third Battle of Victoria. Once the war reaches its last phase, this moves into Final Solution territory.

Alexander the Great (1956). After being abandoned by the Persians, the commander of the Greek mercenaries who fought against Alexander asks for quarter. Alexander refuses, saying they're traitors (even though they haven't sworn an oath to him) as he's ruler of all the Greeks. The mercenary commander asks again, not for himself but for his men. Alexander refuses this offer also. The commander says in that case they'll fight to the death. None of them escape alive.

Averted in the Soviet historical drama Alexander Nevsky, set in medieval times. After winning a bloody battle against brutal German invaders, Alexander asks what should be done with the prisoners. One of his lieutenants says that the mooks should be set free because "they were forced to fight," and Alexander says that the knights will be held for ransom. He is less forgiving to the Russian traitors.

Liam, with a somewhat Chuunibyou image of himself being an Evil Overlord, orders this when his troops face Space Pirates. Why this makes him heroic, is because in a Feudal Future filled with Aristocrats Are Evil types, they usually cut deals with the pirates to form an Inside Job, Protection Racket, or the like, to milk their subjects dry.

The Patriot (2000): In his opening scene, Colonel Tavington has wounded Colonial soldiers gunned down where they're laying in blatant violation of the laws of war. General Cornwallis later explodes in Tavington's face for refusing to give their enemies of the hour quarter.
This comes back to bite him in that not only would Benjamin Martin's militia be less than eager to take captives after that (to the point that Martin himself had to tell those under his command to stop shooting surrendering Redcoats), and absolutely eager to shoot officers first during engagements, but it was the entire reason Benjamin Martin was leading that militia group in the first place.

Red Dawn (1984). The protagonists are seen shooting Soviet prisoners and wounded, because they're fighting a guerrilla campaign and can't take prisoners even if they were so inclined.

Absolute Trust:
In Chapter 37, when Hakoda's group and the Gaang hijack a Fire Nation ship, they initially planned to take the crew prisoner. But when they hear them laughing about raping and killing a group of colonials, Hakoda changes the plan.
In Chapter 44, when Alec leads a small group to attack Water's Wail, the prison for the Southern Waterbenders, they deliberately kill every guard present for the cruelty they've exercised for so long.

BattleTech: In the First Succession War, the Coordinator of the Draconis Combine was assassinated by a sniper while conducting a campaign on the Davion world of Kentares IV. His heir orders the Draconis troops to "kill them all" and summarily executed the first general that questioned the order. By the end of the massacre, 52 million people were dead and the morale of the Draconis troops was absolutely crushed from being forced to execute helpless civilians with katanas. Even among the countless atrocities of the First Succession War, the Kentares Massacre stands out for its sheer brutality, and the horror helped pave the way for more 'civilized' warfare aiming to avoid unnecessary destruction.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert:
In mission 10 of the Allied campaign, General von Esling tells the player during the campaign in Kiev to destroy EVERYTHING in the Soviet nuke base. "Scorched Earth!" Though, when you play the mission, this turns out to be impossible as the Soviets end up launching nukes during the mission and von Esling hastily changes your objective to instead capture the Command Center and send a commando force in to remotely deactivate the nuclear warheads before they hit their targets.
In the first Soviet mission, your superiors order you to annihilate a rebel village. The battle itself is a total Curb-Stomp Battle, with dozens of innocent civilians wiped out by strafing Yak fighter planes.

The good guys do this in SEAL Team's 2nd season in the episode "Payback." After completing the usual objective to attack a terrorist stronghold and capture the cell leader, Bravo Team receives word that enemy reinforcements are on the way. Normally, in previous snatch missions, their standard operating procedure would be to take the prisoner and bug out as quickly and stealthily as possible. But because this particular terror cell had earlier seriously injured one of their own, Bravo decides to stay and fight the reinforcements to ensure that every single terrorist in the cell is killed.

In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, after Saavik goes through the Kobayashi Maru test, Kirk tells her that the Klingons don't take prisoners. Since they do take prisoners in several Star Trek: The Original Series episodes as well as several TOS era movies, this is probably based on a faulty memory of the "Romulans don't take captives" quote from TOS.
The "prisoners" line probably stems from the opening scene featuring Romulans instead of Klingons. The KM test is in Gamma Hydra near the Neutral Zone — near the Romulan Empire in TOS. Also, the Klingon Bird of Prey in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was originally designed as an update to the TOS Romulan ship (Klingon didn't use Birds of Prey until that point). The decision to switch from Romulans to Klingons was apparently made by the writers at the suggestion of Leonard Nimoy, who felt they made better bad guys.
Or Kirk was just being dramatic.

Star Trek: The Original Series: The Romulans are noted to not take captives in the 2nd season episode "The Deadly Years". However, they try to do exactly that in the 3rd season episode "The Enterprise Incident". Possibly, they do take prisoners, but instead of ransoming them, they keep them and refuse to acknowledge that they do. Certainly, Saavik's Vulcan parent was a prisoner, as was Tasha Yar.

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun: During the first Nod briefing, after CABAL says how to increase the probability of a favorable outcome against the renegade General Hassan's forces, commander Anton Slavik asks CABAL what a "favorable outcome" would be. CABAL's response: "They all die".
Command & Conquer: Generals:
In the third USA mission of the vanilla campaign, the GLA are intent on wiping out a large American force in full retreat. The mission is to rescue 100 American units from their GLA pursuers.
In the fourth China mission of the Zero Hour expansion pack, the tables are turned as it is now the GLA in full retreat while China is on the hunt. The opening cutscene tells us that the Chinese premier has declared that China will hunt down the GLA to the last soldier. Indeed, the mission itself is about cutting off all escape routes and ensuring that not a single GLA unit escapes the map.

Sunset Overdrive: Eavesdropping on the Las Catrinas shows Esperenza setting this as policy, because somehow she learned that one of the Scabs they attacked and left alive, but without legs, got painkillers before his death. Painkillers that they could've raided from the Scabs for the children in the Las Catrinas' care, so survivors are avoided so their enemies don't use up resources that can be raided for later.

Maki then goes on a bloody rampage throughout the compound, making sure to spare no one (not even her own mother, who secretly supports Maki's rampage and is happy to die if the rest of the clan dies with her). The narration goes on to reveal that a few members of the clan were not in the compound during Maki's rampage; she went and hunted them down, too.

Fate/Grand Order has this happen in Lostbelt 6, when an attack is led on the village Tintagel to raze it to the ground. The truth is rather unexpected. While Woodwose did carry out the massacre on Artoria's fellow villagers, they were already planning on selling her out anyway, and had gone completely berserk while doing so. Woodwose was forced to put them down, as they'd started slaughtering each other before he arrived.

Drow nobles have such a nice tradition. The Dark Elf Trilogy put this to use by making it completely unspoken. Klingon Promotions are a cornerstone of drow society: noble houses move up in rank by slaughtering the house above it. However, by their definition of "justice", if even one survivor is left to accuse them, their house will be exterminated as punishment. It's kind of hard to track them all, and hard to tell when they try to disguise, so there's no need for those in command to order their soldiers to kill anything that moves and then comb the compound afterward for any secret rooms where others may be hiding.

The Princess Bride: The Dread Pirate Roberts is known for "never taking prisoners," but the wording allows for some Loophole Abuse: for instance, it doesn't say anything about taking captured sailors on as crew, which is how Westley survived.
In the book it's made clear this only applies if they fight; if they just hand over the valuables they can go. This was the whole point of building the reputation in the first place; a technique used sometimes by Real Life pirates.
Not to mention the threat the heroes use to clear out the men guarding the castle gate on their way to rescue Buttercup. Again, it's technically true; since most of the guards fled without fighting, the heroes didn't take anyone prisoner for longer than a few minutes.

Done legally in Dredd. Attempted murder of a Judge carries the death penalty. Judges can carry out sentencing for crimes on the spot. This confers upon Judges the right to execute almost anyone who participated in a shootout against them. Rookie Judge Cassandra Anderson carries out her first execution of a wounded perp who can barely lift his sidearm. She discovers It Gets Easier to the point where later in the movie she coldly shoots a disabled mook In the Back as she walks over his body.

In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, of course, the cursed crew of the Black Pearl is famous for leaving no survivors.
Davy Jones from the sequels is likewise infamous for this: every man who isn't Eaten Alive by his pet kraken in the inital assault is either press-ganged into his undead crew, or else executed if they refuse to join; though sometimes he'll just execute everyone without even making the offer if he's in a bad mood. This becomes a problem in the third film, when Jones is forced to work for the East India Company; no survivors means no prisoners to interrogate for information. At least until the Final Battle.

Warhammer 40,000:
In actual gameplay, wiping out the enemy's force from the table is generally an alternative win condition, as opposed to the point system revolving around battlefield objectives. This is known as "tabling" the opponent.
This is functionally or officially standard procedure for many factions. The hateful and xenophobic Imperium of Man often try to wipe out any alien presence on their planets, and routinely try to exterminate them in wars of conquest. They do try to bring human populations under their control, unless a world has become too corrupt or not worth the expenditure of resources and manpower to reconquer, then they resort to Exterminatus. Tyranids will also try to kill everything on a planet, because it's easier to eat them and harvest their biomass in that manner.
Orks and mortal followers of Chaos will kill just about anything that doesn't fight back, more often than not just for the fun of it. Still, they will often take at least some prisoners as slaves. Chaos Daemons, however, do not.
Eldar, as much as they hate other species, will often kill only as much as necessary to achieve their goals, then they'll usually just leave. Surprising as it would be for those not familiar with them, as much as they like killing, Dark Eldar actually try to avoid this trope with as wide a margin that they can as they prefer to take prisoners. They'll eventually bring this trope into full force on those same prisoners, since they literally feed on suffering. The Tau Empire usually averts this trope, as they prefer to bring other species into their sphere of influence through diplomacy and other nonviolent means before resorting to a military conquest. However, there are sometimes aggressive or embittered commanders who will push for a population to be wiped out, or a species is deemed unfit for peaceful coexistence, in which case this trope is used.

While not specifically mentioned in the Total War series, starting with Empire: Total War, it is no longer possible to take prisoners in battle. In Medieval, Rome, and Medieval II, any enemy struck from behind was knocked out instead of killed and taken prisoner if you win the battle. You could then free, execute, or attempt to ransom (execution as backup) them back.
This is probably an aversion, however, since it was about this time that rules about taking prisoners started to be enforced. The likelihood is that the winner is taking prisoners, but since you have no legal choice about whether to kill them or not it's just being quietly taken care of behind the scenes.
Maybe, but they're still listed in the "Killed" column.
Total War: Shogun 2 also doesn't allow the taking of prisoners.
Executing captive troops became an option within the game series from Total War: Rome II and onward. Specific effects depend on the game, but it at least always affects your diplomatic standings by angering your enemy and factions friendly with them while making those who dislike your enemy to like you better. This is contrasted with the options of ransoming the captives for money, or pressing them to join your forces to immediately replenish some of your troops' losses. Total War: Three Kingdoms also allows you to consider executing (as well as ransoming or employing, if they'll allow the latter) generals if you manage to capture them, with executing them giving you their ancilliaries or equipment.

The Prince of Egypt: In the climax, Rameses and his army pursue the Hebrew refugees, during which he orders his men to kill all the unarmed Hebrews. Utterly ironic as well; all his life Rameses tried to be a greater Pharaoh than his imposing father Seti I ever was. Without realizing it, he tried to outshine his father's legacy even in something as extreme as mass murder.

In The Hunt for Red October, the US wonders what to do with the crew of Red October, who don't want to defect—rejecting the option of killing them all as morally wrong. The reason the sub's destruction is faked is in order to allow the crew to go back to the USSR and claim the sub sunk.

In the first chapter of RWBY: Scars, Adam attempts to slaughter an entire train cart full of humans just because he hates humans. This is one step too far for Blake. She was okay with killing the guards because they were armed and dangerous, but killing defenseless civilians is too much for her. She stops Adam and runs away from him for good.

In Battle Zone 1998's Cosmo Colonist Army campaign, while escorting a team of Soviet scientists in their Awesome Personnel Carriers, a dozen American Black Dogs appear in their Hover Tanks. Realizing that they are completely outnumbered, the scientists radio that they are willing to discuss terms of surrender, only for the Black Dogs commander to say there will be no terms. The mission then turns into a race towards a CCA base before your squadron and the transports are overwhelmed by Black Dogs.

Call of Duty:
Referenced by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 at the beginning of multiplayer matches as Russian forces - the first and third have their announcers say "Take no prisoners, comrades.", World at War has Viktor Reznov say "Show courage, show pride, but show no mercy!" On the other hand, there is no gameplay mechanic to take prisoners anyway...
And in World at War's single player, Reznov encourages you to kill a group of surrendering Germans. If you don't do it yourself, he'll just kill them anyway.
The multiplayer announcer for the Cuban Army in Call of Duty: Black Ops will sometimes open up matches by saying "Remember, no survivors!"
Then there's No Russian from Modern Warfare 2, a playable terrorist attack wherein Makarov and his group (which you are infiltrating) utterly massacre everyone in their sight at a Russian airport, which is the inciting event of the game's entire story.

Safehold:
The threat of this is often used by the protagonist Empire of Charis when an enemy is either already defeated or clearly outmatched to try and force a surrender. This tends to be effective, more often than not, because the enemy commanders eventually realize that the Charisian making the offer isn't bluffing. One of the few times the opposing commander refused that offer, the Charisian commander not only followed through, but let Siddarmarkian soldiers, whose nation and people had been damaged horrifically because of the Church's machinations, to lead the charge.
The Siddarmarkians have a special marching song, the Pikes of Kolstyr, that announces their intentions to do this. It was written in comemmoration of an old atrocity by the Desnairian Empire and is used to announce their intent to avenge similar atrocities, such as the Church's Sword of Scheuler, which sparked civil war throughout the nation.
With the Inquisition's penchant for Cold-Blooded Torture, there are instances when members of the Church's own forces order no survivors as an act of mercy. An Army of God colonel orders his chaplain and healers to do this, and some of the victims even show gratitude as their throats are cut. Later, in a battle that allows the Kingdom of Dohlar to capture a Charisian ironclad, the sheer brutality of the Dohlaran sailors when they finally get aboard is attributed at least in part to this.

During the third book of The Hunger Games, Gale Hawthorne suggests a plan to destroy a Peacekeeper Fort by causing an avalanche. Not content to just kill the majority of those inside, he also suggested bombing the escape to ensure they all die. His reason for this is that Peacekeepers destroyed District 12, so he is out for revenge.

The Fall of Gondolin: A heroic example. Morgoth's troops are burning Gondolin to the ground, but Tuor has managed to lead several hundreds of people out of the city and towards the hills. He then sees six soldiers have managed to rescue his son and make it out of the city, but are being chased by twenty wolf-riders. Tuor picks up fifty soldiers, surrounds the pack of Orcs and Wolves and orders to kill all of them, lest one of them gets away and informs Morgoth about the refugees.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses also has this in-story, when the armies of the three nations face each other at Gronder Field after the Time Skip. Prince Dimitri of the Kingdom of Faerghus, who at this point isn't exactly in the most stable state of mind, explicitly yells at his forces to "Kill every last one of them!" before rushing into battle. This doesn't factor into gameplay, however, even on Dimitri's route, as the battle's goal is actually to defeat the enemy armies' commanders, which will make them retreat.

In Stellaris, this is essentially the entire foreign policy of Fanatical Purifiers, Devouring Swarms and Determined Exterminators summed up in three words. All pops on any planet they conquer are purged automatically, with the player's only option being the decision of how every man, woman and child on those unlucky worlds is going to die. Methods vary by how long they take until completion, and include bog-standard execution squads going from door to door, species-wide neutering, working the victims to death in labor camps, and for especially deranged empires, either processing the conquered populace into food or energy, or cultivating the entire sentient species as livestock. Most of these options are available to regular xenophobic empire as well, but only the three special examples mentioned above have them hard-coded into their play style.

Star Wars Legends:
One of Boba Fett's targets in "The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett" is Kardue'sai'malloc, who earned his moniker "the Butcher of Montellian Serat" for slaughtering hundreds of Rebel POWs on Devaron. He claims he was forced into it by his superiors: He had been ordered to join up with another force after taking the city of Montellian Serat and not to leave anyone behind to guard the prisoners, and he didn't have the resources to bring them with him either, so...
In X-Wing: The Bacta War, Ysanne Isard orders her minions to pick a random rebel target and wipe it out.

Rare anti-heroic example: Goblin Slayer does not believe in leaving any survivors from his goblin killings, as survivors will adapt and grow and become even bigger threats. Especially not children, as brutally pointed out in the very first episode. The Goblin Lord in the first season was spared as a child, and several people paid dearly for it.

This was Blackout's intention in the opening scene of Transformers. He attempted to hack into the military defense network in order to obtain any information about the whereabouts of Megatron and the All Spark, but was cut off by the base commander. When Epps manages to take a digital snapshot of him, he dispatches Scorponok to eliminate the escaping soldiers, whilst he deals with everyone else on base. The investigation conducted in the aftermath reveals that he killed every single person on site. Scorponok however, whilst succeeding in killing/wounding two soldiers, failed to eliminate the rest of the group before they could call for help.

In the film version of The Lord of the Rings, this happens twice. Saruman orders his Uruk-hai in The Two Towers to "leave none alive!" in the battle of Helm's Deep, and the Witch-king in The Return of the King orders his minions to slay everyone in Minas Tirith.
"Release the prisoners"
Also at Helm's Deep, Aragorn himself tells the defenders to show no mercy to their besiegers, "because the enemy will show none."

In Prey (2017), The mercenary Dahl brings an army of military robots to do this on Talos 1, human and Typhon alike, so the TranStar corporation can rebuild with no witnesses. In a recording his boss William Yu says the trope name when Dahl questions the order because it includes William's two children: Morgan and Alex Yu.
In a secret ending, protagonist Morgan Yu can help Dahl by killing every other human on the station. Doing so makes Dahl transport Morgan back to Earth and gives the achievement "Awkward Ride Home".

Babylon 5:
Minbari policy during the Earth-Minbari War was to destroy any and all combatants, regardless of their ability to fight back or if they surrender. Granted, they did leave many core colonies untouched as they made a beeline for Earth. However, it's likely they would've gone back to mop up every surviving human after Earth was no more.
Sheridan exploited this tendency in the Black Star incident that earned him the moniker "Starkiller". With his ships damaged in a prior attack, he sent a fake distress signal, knowing the Minbari would come back to finish the job. Then he laid a minefield between him and the direction in which the Minbari ships had left, and waited for them to take the Schmuck Bait.
