Obviously it's a game and NONE of us are actually evil (well, mostly 
). From the perspective of the the Empire's enemies and opponents (IC, of course) they really are evil and oppressive and the bad guys. Of course, from the Empire's and her ally's perspective it's the other way around. And it's fun that way, and frankly that's how it should be.
I can just imagine it
"I find your point of view both reasonable and valid. Obviously perspective is a major determining factor with regards to our disagreements. Would you kindly stand still while I run you through? Terribly sorry to do this you understand, after our rational calm discussion I have come to understand you are a delightful chap, but war is war you know. Got to keep up appearances."
