Region: The Commonwealth Of Furry Peoples

Of course. What seperates me from anyone else that would employ such things is that I would rarely do something like that. :P

Destroying a star is as aimless as using nukes in MT unless you want to be ruined. Mainly due to the fact that wiping out a habitable planet and billions of lives is a costly mistake given that it has consequences and can give one's opponents casus belli to rally against you.

Not only that but the more intact the planet the less I must spend rebuilding it, the less natives dead the more cooperative they will be and the less political landmines I'd have to dodge in order to prevent full scale military action against me.

Much easier, and more importanly: cheaper, is to take the objective committing as few evils as possible. Far less long-term consequences.
