The SJO can't reach us without attacking the Suns or the Republic. As far as holding Emberlene goes, we'll start to loose control as soon as we work for any group in particular.
We should start with a deal with either the Republic or the Protectorate, and ask as payment mining rights to Seltros or Arkania (IE, one Dev thread). Phrik could be very useful.
It would also be a good idea to start work on establishing ourselves. Maybe start gaining influence in the galaxy via strategic missions for factions. Talk to the leaders of Factions you want on your good side. See what you can do for them.
If you want activity, help us to make the story.
