I got them as well. But I think it is only possible if you go for Zhar. I am also not entirely sure what determines your sucess in final confrontation against the Traitor, it seems random.
What is the maximum score you can get?

Perhaps the next game will be about the conquest of Tarantis?

Yep! I got Charnel! My ideal army was Charnel, the Kamassians (Private Bodyguard), the Chelonians and the Summanese.
Though I wouldn't say no to replacing the Summanese with the Ensionites... Either way they're both tricky to get in their own right.
Time to replay the game and try find the reference to the next plot, I'm suspecting it involves getting all the achievements. Or possible just getting a crazy high amount of them in a single play through.
I think the best twist would be that the next plot revolves around Thalos, the Harmony and their involvement in the Sith War.

They are not a pain after you figure a right order of talking to people there.

Yeah, I figure as long as you talk to the right people at the right time, you don't need the extra money from Owen and you can get everyone to stand down.
As I remember the extra money from Owen is still not enough to outbid main contestants.
