Anyone do any?
Rifts Coalition campaigns are a little bit easier I think as Earth was torn apart by magic, hostile aliens as well as actual demons and devils and even Cthulhoid type entities exist. That innocent looking mutant with a copy of the Necronomican can very well summon Azathoth, so "Sweep and Clear" as humanity's only method of survival has an arguable position.
Same kind of thing with the Imperium. Sure they suck, but the entire universe is out to get them and that's not even counting Chaos.
The Empire however is a little harder to justify. Sure there's the whole "Peace and Prosperity Through Order" kind of thing, but they're not really under a massive dimensional otherworldly supernatural existential threat.
An Empire campaign would have the same problems any military campaign would, namely chain of command and strict duties. You'd probably have to go with commandos, intelligence operatives, someone with some freedom of action, which then perhaps lets the characters bend the rules, walk the line, etc.
I've run Coaltion campaigns, but not Imperial ones. Never even heard of someone running an Imperial one, really.
