It sounds like an interesting storyline, and I'm mostly just being sassy, though I think a more expansive method would be to see if a Chiss group forms - and if they do, work with them to make it a campaign or story arc.
Ultimately, go for gold, create to your heart's content, but there's an opportunity to give a Chiss faction - an already difficult group to make work, with a species that can't seem to align itself - a chance to utilize the creation as a bounding point for interest.
Granted, past attempts say an Ascendancy faction doesn't have much interest or staying power, but it could happen.
Though do I want to make a Chiss faction? Maybe, maybe not. My faction focus nowadays is to make it reliant on the members, since I don't have the energy to push a faction anymore. I'm happy to provide a sandbox, with some neat toys, but it's up to others to help build the castles. And sadly, past experience hasn't really shown that works for Chiss. Alas.
And I don't see a problem, either, about addressing Chiss problems - it would just be nice to see some dedicated Chiss players involved (and not just hardly used alts).
Maybe I'm idealistic. I dunno.
