Those that die are generally the more lucky ones that they don't have to suffer the atrocities that happen after the initial onslaught. I know that may seem cold of me to think that, but I've seen the remnants of what happened to the city where I grew up after it was invaded and what happened to those that didn't make it out before the empire arrived and lasted through the first wave.
It's ugly. Those are the ones that suffer, and I imagine there were plenty.
