At this point if you play a force user you are basically the strongest being in the universe. So you could use their own logic against them.

I dont think the Alliance is done for just yet. I'm looking at it more as a temporary choice while the Alliance recovers its strength. At this point you are basically the most powerful person in the universe, and I dont really see myself as a Jedi or Sith anymore. My characters main goal now is to force a coexistence between the Sitn and the Jedi, and that seems easier done with the Empire then with the Republic as you would have to deal with senate.

My Jedi Consular was always prideful and arrogant, but also a Republic patriot. During the class story she was good and protective to her allies but brutal and merciless to her enemies. As the story progressed she started getting tired of republic incompetence and started calling them out on it, while also more brutal to the enemies to make up of for what the Republic could not. During the Revanites crisis thanks to Lana and Darth Marr she had a change of heart and started working towards coexistence. When Zakul attack it was back to brutality towards enemies, letting Zakul people die, trying to kill Arcann instead of saving him and that kind of stuff. During the war when we need it the most the Empire helped us while the Republic cowered and just watched. On top of that Saresh tries to kill me, to me that is not the same Republic I fought for. So I sided with the Empire, but still kind of feels bad for betraying your old allies, was it the right thing to do? What do you guys think? If we ever get the choice to fight both sides for the Alliance in the next expansion I would probably go that route.
