So I've been playing an awesome space strategy game called Crying Sun's, which is a bit like FTL: Faster Than Light meets Battlestar Galactica and Foundations. Came across a Civil War mission, where two parties ask you to pick a side. One says they need your commando's to protect them from an evil oligarch, the other side says they need your commando's to protect you from the rabble who are jealous of their success.
You can take neither side and move on, which is what I did the first time. Your own officers ever advise you your commando's will get used for war crimes on either side.
But.... you're trying to save the universe and need loot. So who would you back in hopes of a reward?
