My anyalsis of your post Kracken:
"Because as of lateley, an unusual number of Falleen commanders have been spotted in fleets opposing us. Used to, the Falleen stayed away from us, or even allied with us, as such was the case with Prince Xizor.
So now the Empire is so omnipotent that they can divine what sort of species are in fleets opposing them? Usually the Empire destroys enemy ships, or they flee. Yet somehow you know that more Falleen are fighting you.
Well, thats not too bad, I mean I guess that could be figured out somehow.
The first example was a fleet sent against us by the Diversity Alliance, unto which recent information revealed that they were working with the Bothans against us at Isht and Diamal. Since then both the Bothan Empire and the Diversity Alliance has been crushed. But, recently the bothans, this time most likely working for the terroist organization known as the Union, has again struck out at Isht, inciting uprisings against the Imperial rulers.
Ok. You've got a point. The Diversity lliance did strike out against Isht. And yes, both have since been crushed. I mean, too bad that ICly the two groups secretly connect, a fact which was never revealed.
But how did you suddenly have a leap of faith to assume that the Bothans are now working for the Union? A group which has made no actions to reveal itself? None of the anti-Imperial actions done by Union affiliates have been carried out by the Union itself. Never has there been a mention of the Union, nor its connection to the GLF.
Does Brutus Nogoth credit the Union in his press releases? Do GLF operatives scream long liver the Union?
No. They work for the GLF. The GLF is its own organization- it is affiliated with the Union, but that doesn't mean that the Union is the GLF.
Therefore, we believe that a number of Falleen leftover from the Alliance may also have fallen in with the Union. Since they are such capable commanders, and since their homeworld has not been visited anytime recently, Admiral Kraken decided to order a occupation force to head to Falleen, and to bring that world under Imperial control. Although this is a mission of conquest, much more of it will be seen as a mission of Reconissance, to see what has happened to the Falleen and their homeworld during all this time." said the Commander.
So, although the Diversity Alliance was crushed, there are still leftover groups powerful enough to threaten the Empire. And they have fallen in with the Union.
Besides the fact you don't know ICly that the Union exists, where do you get this info? Have there been any attacks on the Empire by Falleen (excluding the Diversity Alliance.)? No.
Then we have this part of the quote:
Although this is a mission of conquest, much more of it will be seen as a mission of Reconissance, to see what has happened to the Falleen and their homeworld during all this time."
How does the Empire have all this information on the Falleen if they don't even know whats happened to its homeworld? And is the Imperial High Command now approving "Missions of Conquest" before they have even an inkling of reconissance on the world?
Anyone knows that sort of military endeavor is pure folly.

Take a lesson from Kaine.
Make your story backround probable.
Use information you could actually know ICly, not information you only know because this is an RP game.
Thanks.
