There is a difference: only the story line can do thigs like orbital bombardement with millions of innocent dead. These acts are story devices to transport messages, like... "The Gallics are bad guys" after the Colonial Exodus of T44.
It is something completely difficult if you give players the choice to do the same and then they do it...because... ehm... they can.
