I like this one more.  ;)  It essentially makes Kand Yet Another Faction on 
Nexus, but a foreign-based one.  How about we do some weird event in outer 
space cause the Kands located on Nexus to be separated from the Empire, so 
they're stuck using local supplies?  For the early parts of the story (where 
the game picks it up, anyway), Kand has their own stockpiles, making them the 
msot powerful faction, although not necessarily dominating.  Later on in the 
story, their stockpiles are dwindling and they need to secure resources on 
the planet.  That makes at least one existing map a little more important, 
the one where they have to capture the empty depots.
