I've seen the Judges sat on Newark fairly often during the course of my trade runs, but that's old ground and flogging a dead horse.
Most recently, the Judges have been involved in trying to set up links with Bowex. That means scampering around after Bowex transports in the Omegas and offering escort protection for our ships.
Offering those services to anyone is a good step, and gives you practical, viable ingame activity to focus on. What I could suggest is picking one faction at a time to work on, then concertedly attempt to improve relations with that one.
So don't sit on your laurels. Constantly have a mission or assignment that can keep you motivated. Don't fall back to the bad habit of just sitting around.
The only thing I will comment on is your background lore. As a lore buff, it does kind of grate - factions of this kind are best off 'recently founded', as opposed to being retconned into the timeline. By manipulating your background to 'fit' Discovery's history, you might think you're making a concerted effort at intergrating, but it could actually come across as the exact opposite.
I feel actually creating a PoB for Taunhauser Gate would probably give you quite a lot to do, as well. No doubt your fanclub would turn up soon enough to try and take it out.
