That doesn't sound too bad in general.
The "evil empire" type sounds difficult to balance, as it would have to be powerful to do what it needs to, but it might be too powerful to combat easily. And given that combination, why would not everyone else band together to get rid of them right off the bat?
The "naval merc" would need to be deferred until I have naval operations running, of course, and Pirates wouldn't have anyone to attack without PC ships in use.
I'm not sure I see what good an NPC "Heretic" would do for the design, but come up with something if you like and see what kind of balance we can work out. (Or just wait until some future time when they "appear" to players in the game system.)
For your extra faction, are you thinking something along the lines of mystics and/or researchers of lost antiquity?
I'd like to see what you have in mind for combining the other types, as well. And of course we'd like to get a number of folks contributing and providing a consensus for us to follow. (Anybody know what kind of a quorum we might need?)
Don't forget to work out combinations of cooperation and with antipathy.
