dead space the earth was eaten by brethren moons

I believe the Brethren Moons were created by an intelligence that realized how unsustainable interstellar civilizations would become with time, and how their hungering for resources would ultimately ruin the ability for other intelligent civilizations to develop later. As they digest more and more resources through planet-cracking, they are rapidly increasing entropy and ironically destroying the ability for the galaxy to harbor life in order to keep their populations alive. Humanity and its needs are increasing at an exponential rate.

Ultimately, humanities' hungering for resources is a massively destructive force that is jeopardizing entire planetary systems.

The trilogy shows how humanity is expanding at an alarming rate, even going as far as dismantling entire planets to sustain their populations. As humanity explodes in population thanks to the advent of FTL drives and gravitron mastery, so too do their resource needs vastly increase. Environmental themes are a common occurrence in the Dead Space trilogy.
