So when Hammerfall and High Rock attacked Orismer the Imperial Legion acted as a Rear guard for the fleeing civilians. But they thing is they did this without hesitation, In fact one orc joined the legion because he witness a squad of imperial troopers sacrifice themselves to save him and his family...I have no doubt that the stormcloaks would-ant do the same thing, they would be the ones killing the civilians. So theres my proof that the imperial as a whole is better then the stormcloaks!
