So did you skip through most of the plot developments related to Vaklu?. It's at least not nearly cut and dry as most other Light/Dark Side decisions in the game, and yet the "right" choice is to prop up the corrupt, unpopular government by helping them brutally pacify a popular rebellion. The two sides of the conflict seem to be given pretty equal footing I suppose that the General is supposed to bring to mind Franco or Pinochet or some such, but you're flat out told several times that the people seem to largely resent the current government and are anxious for change, and the General seems like an alright guy, as far as the leaders of military coups go. More puzzling is the choice between supporting the Queen and the General on Onderon.You can be a wonderful ally for Czerka who never has annoying moral qualms and they still shoot you down.Like a lot of Dark Side characters, she's greedy, callous, and not nearly as smart as she thinks she is. There's also the matter of Czerka's chief officer, Lorso, who is doing her best to subvert the Telos Security Force, doesn't hide her affiation with the Exchange and other criminal operations, shelters a couple of thugs from TSF arrest warrants, has a hit out on one of her own employees (and several others, if you side with her), is actively sabotaging the Ithorians (the Ithorians are at least going about things legally), and seems to have her greedy paws in the till on top of it.They clearly are gigantic scumbags who will stab anybody in the back if it suits their needs and who cavort around with Sith. In the second, it is obvious as frell in the game-regardless of which path you take- that Czerka has been making deals with the underworld, smuggling weapons, and violently annexing Ithorian Restoration zones. They were more-or-less openly alligned with the Sith in the JCW and were definitively tied to charming activities like mass enslavement, unethical accounting, attempted genocide (though in the case of the Sand People that might not have been ENTIRELY unjustified), and smuggling. Um, Czerka has been known to be corrupt, evil arsehats.Ironically, despite Czerka's claims, it is actually their plan which is short term in the end. I'm pretty sure it was also stated that restoring Telos to the way it was, was necessary to restore the planet's connection to the Force. It's plainly obvious that they're painted as a faction of Corrupt Corporate Executives. Furthermore, Czerka has been shown to deal in slavery, trade with the Sith (KotOR 1), hire bounty hunters, and conduct corporate sabotage. thing, (Of which I highly doubt) It's far more likely that they were operating of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism.
