For the faction thing, it's pretty simple. Let's see if this explanation makes sense.

So there's the Empire and the Revolutionary army. Night Raid, the group our characters would be part of if rebels, is a bunch of assassins that work to stealthily eliminate the "most corrupt" people in the Empire. They are hired by people now and then, and they are very precise in their murders. They are technically fighting to bring down the  Empire and make it easier for the Revolutionary Army to eventually come in and seize the government. These assassins generally have really strong beliefs and reasons to do what they do as a job.

The Empire side would be made of people who, despite their different viewpoints and opinions, are going to fight against Night Raid. They generally don't approve of the assassin's methods and instead protect the possible targets from potential harm.

Does this make sense?
