Something important to note - the Sinarks are not yet shown to be discriminated against by the empire, but by a single general who is visibly doing this on his own volition. The fact that Major Toark is assigned to keep an eye on him - and how he's happy at losing such a capable aide that pretty much did everything for him and refused to even let the Princess return to Central - shows that he's going rogue at this point.
The manga and LN actually shows that he's doing all of this for fun. He's getting bored of being assigned to basically a dead area with no action, and is amusing himself by oppressing the Sinarks. As corrupt as the Empire is, they are not 100% to blame for this (just 50%, as they lack the competence to remove such a person from command).
I now see why the anime didn't show Volume 1 End Spoiler
Alderamin is not a masterpiece in any stretch of the word (heck, even this season, Danganronpa 3 was much better written). But it is an good anime with a vision based on a similarly good light novel, and I really like its willingness to try to be different - and have an idea to tell over cute girls, fanservice, or just action - in a deluge of copy-and-pasted shows.
Probably next episode -
