They probably could have stayed on if they kept their heads down, but they'd still be in a precarious position if the Empire ever decided to clean up loose ends. An "independent trade town" just doesn't have the military might to say "yeah, they're living here, so what? Get lost, you can't have them."
Signing up with an opposing power is a bigger leap, but in the long run it offers more protection if Charlotte and her gang can establish themselves there.
