Fairly simple solution. Change your government back to Imperial, and do what you want. Poo on the senate.

My observation: As fantastic and outright fascinating as GCII and DA are, they are games. I know a precocious 11 year old girl who would make Hitler and Stalin look like crybabies if you went by how she plays the game. Philosophically speaking, the alignment question does preclude that you realize a game is being played. Neutral really gets you nowhere, good is a struggle, and evil makes the other races seem to want to kill you faster. When the Drengin want to ally with you, you've hit evil. <im
That little planet you're stuck with is good for an embassy and two research stations. There really isn't a reason to try and manufacture anything there, it's a "third-world" planet. That's my experience so far.
