In Masters Enigma, the developers have created a major rift between the factions heads of the Empire and Republic, and the Pub/Imp Alliance Commander. The Empire/Republic pretty much invade the Commanders home base, put the commander under house arrest, and steal a powerful artifact from them. This is not some petty disagreement but a major breach of perceived trust that hasn't really been seen since Iokath.

Now there are 3 main ways for this to end, more are less.

1. Status Quo Antebellum: The Empire/Republic sees that they were foolish to doubt you after you bring them the body of Malgus; they remove they fleet from Odessen, give their apologizes for doubting you, and maybe even give you a new title to bribe you off. This is the safest option and won't change things up too much.
2. Jadus just kills everyone: In this scenario, the conflict between the Alliance and the players home factions won't matter as Jadus will simply kill the heads of the Empire and Republic, thus negating any potential conflict they would have. This could lead into a prolonged power vacuum and force the players to ensure a puppet of Jadus doesn't end up leading the Republic or Empire.
3. War with the Empire and Republic: This is the most drastic option and would see the player character attack the Empire and Republic and force them off Odessen by force, probably by capturing the Chancellor or Emperor/Empresses and forcing them to come to favorable terms. This is the most drastic option and would see the Alliance resolidify itself as a major faction in its own right.

So, which of these 3 options do you want to see happen, or do you think there is another 4th or 5th options I forgot to mention

Now one of the things that people loved about post KOTET content was how many choices you hand to affect the state of the galaxy, most notably by killing high ranking individuals like Darth Acina, Darth Vownrawn, Darth Shaar, Darth Savik, and Darth Anathel

The issues with those choices, however, is that now the game can't really DO anything with all those "fate uncertain" characters since now it's unclear if they are even alive in a specific playthrough.

This means you can't really have MOST of the Dark Council be in the spotlight and have interesting character development based on their personality since the exact configuration of the Dark Council wildly differs.

Now here is a simple way to solve that issue; have the Dark Council get wiped out and replaced by new Sith that the developers have complete freedom to develop as major players.

The way they can do this for Imperial Players is simple; the Empire is acting increasingly suspicious of Imperius/Wrath, and there is still the lingering saboteur plot thread that needs to be tied up.

It could simply be written that the saboteurs are found out, and the loyalists are framed (not difficult given how wary the Dark Council seems to be of Wrath/Imperius).

This could lead to a massive "War with the Dark Council" Flashpoint where the Outlander could clear house with the Dark Council and replace them with more "respectful" Sith.

If Jadus is going to win in 7.9 (which is likely) then Darth Nuls holocron is going to create many new Sith that would be able to rise through the ranks over the course of the 8.0 Expansion, and you can even bring back whatever old Sith haven't been killed off (Please stop killing off our quest givers)

Now I know that the Imperial player will never be able to become Empress/Emperor themselves, but a nice middle ground would be allowing them to put a puppet on the Imperial Throne to do all the busy work of managing the Sith Empire while the Imperial character crushes the enemies of the Sith in person.

You could also pull a WOW, and remove the position of Emperor entirely, with it being replaced by a small Dark Council consisting of the Imperial player and various Sith that sided with them in their coup.

I think these routes would go along way into streamlining the story for developments sake and giving Imperial players a bit more of that power fantasy that they have been craving after the disrespect they suffered in Masters Enigma.
