I don't think it was?

"What if a world in the Thanagarian Empire wants to be ruled by me?"

"Contact me. I will visit and arrange a plebiscite. You'll need a clear majority, and in the case of worlds with a non-thanagarian population they'll need to be involved as well."

All he says is clear majority, and actually he specifies the non-thanagarians need to vote too (aka the lizardkons).

"You may have noticed that my thanagarian followers aren't here."

"They're attacking the Thanagarian Empire?"

"Something like that. Acquiring a new colony, since Alstair isn't ideal for them and I'm no longer limited to this system."

"As long as they're finished when you sign the treaty, that's fine."

So if I understand correctly...

Hyathis just took over the low population planet by importing a outside population and having the new majority vote to join her.

The planet happens to have the new source of nth metal.

Yikes.

A plebiscite is a direct universal vote.

As the Thanagarian natives did not know the vote was taking place it was not a universal vote.
