I hate mercenary groups that do bounties only. Currently most of them are poorly RP'ed and it looks like I can add this one to that list as well, there is no real story or history behind it. Its just another club of Mercs.
I do appreciate the fact that you wish to be a "teaching" faction for new discovery players, only downside, your not teaching them how to RP, only how to PVP, or atleast it looks like it.
Why do you wish to use the Interspace IFF. This does make you look like your interspace affiliated, I can't see why interspace would sponsor a group shooting pirates, the same pirates might very well be payed off or even supported by Interspace covertly (like the GC).
I admit, I havent seen you in space, but by the looks of it, its just another group of mercs. We have toooo many of those already.
Why not start something more IC based, like a group of "specialists" that are hired to deal with specific groups of pirates using IC ID and stick to the lanes primarily.
