I feel liek Fulcrum is just a double agent employed by the Empire to crush out all rebellion -- and they're waiting for the right time to end their insurgence.

Fulcrum and how it operates reminds me of Flame, aka Eve Yarrow, from the Last of the Jedi book series by Jude Watson. Flame posed as a wealthy philanthropist who wanted to help fund and dedicate her wealth to the rebel cause, but what she really did was lead the Empire to their base so that Vader could destroy it.
