GRN and IMG

[Haste]

I don't think the IMG| official faction (or the faction's indies, really) would mind being kicked out of the Taus. The problem is that it'd - gameplay wise - be "unfair" for them to not get a similar new chunk of ZoI to mine, transport and fight in.

The correct approach years ago would've been to do exactly that, IMO. IMG gets kicked out the Taus, the faction then moves to "greener pastures". It'd be better lore-wise and if done correctly wouldn't negatively affect the faction.

it might still be possible, and I believe Jack himself was "exploring" some options when IMG| did some roleplay with convoys in the Omicrons. As I'm a big fan of a more dynamic Sirius, it'd be a good change IMO.

As for the Freeport, as Jack stated, the GRN| and IMG| together requested its destruction as part of the GRN-invading-California-and-Magellan storyline. Again, it's simply the most logical series of events considering the damn thing has been roleplayed as "taken over by the Liberty Navy".
