Just a thought, but why not the heir of a losing faction in a civil war with claims in the Imperium? That would sufficiently muddy the waters a bit when it comes to a potential conflict. It would also mean that there could be a lengthy campaign of subversion and bribery and other forms of influence mongering prior to open conflict...

Just the first thought that came to mind.
