Oh, it's easy enough to do if you get out of classic space-opera tropes, which, by the sound of it, that series qualifies (space opera being very much the world of Star Wars, Star Trek and Firefly, ships and interstellar travel and big weapons/bombs/etc and colonisation and so forth). Just . . . not so easy within it, particularly not if you're talking about the Empire-Rebel archetype. (If you want to ditch that archetype, it again gets easier, but not before.)
Which is why DfS is the story of two evenly matched and evenly entrenched powers scrabbling it out, rather than the Plucky Pioneer/Rebel Heroes.
