    Yes. Cardassians are a supremist species who colonize, pillage, and enslave local populations for their own gain. On Star Trek: Deep Space 9, a key component of the show is the end of the Cardassian occupation of Bajor, a planet where the very religious population was enslaved for fifty years until a withdrawal could be negotiated. It's been interpreted as an allegory for Nazis/Jews, Israel/Palestine, and other genocides, though it was always meant to be vague and not a 1:1 parallel to one specific thing.
