The Imperium will only collapse after the end of the Conflicts, meaning the end of year four. By allying them, the Ta'adhartha can inherit their technology, which includes the Drakodominatus Tyranny' own technology the Imperium inherited. Fast route to power. Extremely advantageous.

Iyoka might, understandably, not be a hated leader to the Ta'adhartha, but the Ta'adhartha is not the Crimson Splinter. As far as I know, most Quista were with the Blood Knights, not the Splinter. The Splinter is actually mostly Desaa, with the only Quista Clan members, being, granted, still quite high up, but hated none the less. The Quista Clan the Splinter, nor in control of it. It all really hinged on Iloburaas, the only acceptable link between the two, depending if he's Quista or not.

If Iloburaas is Quista, the Quista Clan would've been more in control than I'd have imagined.

If he is not, which I suppose is really what you want, then Iyoka would really have depended on Iloburaas during the time with the Splinter. They are 'masters of assassination and counter-assassination. It's what they train in. No Quista trying to murder one of their members would make a change. If a Quista horde would try to rampage them down, they'd simply move out of the way. Then they'd systematically feint, sabotage, bomb, surround, shatter, and pick apart the Quista army, who'd be totally thrown into dissarray with no chance of an orderly retreat at that point.
