Here is the real answer. You can annihilate the living hell out of somewhere with drones, missiles, nukes. But unless you have actual boots on the ground defending the position you're in, that is not claimed territory.

Humanoid robots controlled by humans or AI, can defend territory until human troops secure an area and setup defenses.

Now let's get going with that EMP!!!

There's no reason that violent control needs to take a humanoid shape.

The empire can control people by murdering them with drones much more easily than murdering with "humanoids".
