I know this post has been done before, but why not just give the Terran Empire the same treatment to TOS and Disco, where they do a tutorial and some early missions, before joining the Federation, the final mission before they join the feds involves them killing their prime universe counterparts, and going under cover in the prime universe under Mirror Leeta orders, aside from some weapons, uniforms and some dialogue with mirror Leeta and Killy, they'll pretty much function as Feds, even mirror Lorca managed to fool the Federation.

Just put all that into your bio, problem solved.
I have a Terran Defector captain flying a Paradox he brought with him along with his crew and a reprogrammed holo-Leeta loyalty officer. No sub-faction was needed.
On the other hand, the Terran Empire, being an authoritarian totalitarian state, they may push 2+2=5, so their fractions could be equally nonsensical like pi/32.7i.
You'd end up with your run of the mill Starfleet character doing the exact same thing every other Starfleet character in the game is doing. It would essentially boil down to it being a costume option and a lockbox ship, both of which are already available in the game.
They would do it as long as it served their own self-interest.
STO is a MMO RPG not FPS, action, etc. so people being invested in their fictional characters makes sense to me.
It took me almost 5 years to finally play the Nuka World DLC for Fallout 4 since you take the raider side and pillage the settlements you've built up. If those weren't the last few achievements for the game I might never have gotten to it. The only good raider is a dead raider.
Yeah, its an RPG, but you should be able to use the shoes of other characters or it will be Single Role Playing Game..
It is not a matter of separating fiction from reality at all, it is the fact that (unsuprisingly) a lot of people play MMORPGs to slip into character and roleplay, even if it is just solo RP with the game environment like one of the old interactive fiction books.
The roleplayers don't have the trouble dropping into and out of the parts they way you imply, it is that some of those roles have an unpleasant feel, one that people who get into the mindset of their characters to play a game for fun are not likely to choose. And there are enough of them playing STO that annoying or creepy parts take a serious demographics hit, and things only of interest to below a certain percentage of the playerbase are not considered worth doing.
Of course in this case there is also the possibility that CBS discourages or even outright blocked any idea of doing Mirror characters, networks are notoriously weird when it comes to portraying "evil" characters as the protagonists.
Except she would have gone after the Federation anyways, which may draw in the Republic as well.
I fail to see why. I would decimate a planet's surface, should it's inhabitants defy the Empire, UNlike that TRAItor spock
btw, long live the TERRAN Empire
aut vincere aut mori pro imperio
either to conquer or to die for the Empire
Funny!
The majority of players seem to be less inclined to do the same. I mean I knew one person who wanted to do that to the Talaxians, and a few people who do want to glass Kobali Prime...
But it all seems to come more from a dislike of those species and not any desire to RP as Terran Empire.
yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of jarjar binks half of that planet, but talaxia will do
aut vincere aut mori pro imperio
either to conquer or to die for the Empire
