That is a very good idea! The Republic government isn't evil, but is incompetent. The Orion Alliance starts out as a temporary Alliance among the the otherwise-unrelated supporters of the now-gone governments, but unintentionally becomes a permanent faction with civilians, due to the long length of the war. With their original intentions gone, this still is a blind war.
