Yes, I remember reading or hearing (TML perhaps) about that incident. I think
it was someone that described Lucans intolerance to failures. An admiral had
gotten the order not to retreat from any hi-pop worlds under any circumstances,
so when he(?) was forced to do that anyway he(?) made sure that it wasn't a
hi-pop world any longer...
I think that a big part of the impact of this story is that doing this to a
world is totally unthinkable, so the message Lucan sent was "I'd rather that
you do the unthinkable than fail to obey my orders."
