Anyother thing I was thinking is about why the Hand is allowed to destroy the Hegemony. The answer is crystal clear: he isn't.

However, after the Darkling-controlled Commando coup becomes apparent, the Hand asks to send forces as to get the situation under control, and he is allowed to do so (hence why he has so many non-BB Olypians with him) as a form of appeasement - which is going on for a while to prevent another war. Of course, he clearly misuses the situation to extract revenge, and from that point, everyone turns against him.
