They are definately aiming for the #1 spot (at least their HC told their members last night), but why start a war right now? ND should provide a decent roid source for them, seeing that we are currently facing an all vs all fight between the top 3 alliances and ND is most likely the least stable alliance. Then they probably aim for eliminating LCH as third contender for the #1 spot and afterwards we'll see - the politically most charming way for Reunion would be to outgrow 1up; especially since that would add an extra point for a possible victory: "Look at us, we did not have to fight 1up to beat them". Recruitment doesn't really come in since it is done pretty mid-round and a valid tactic anyways.
Whilst I do agree with you on the "attacking napped planets 'by accident'" issue, I am sure we will definately see that happening - if not even a breaking of the nap between reunion and 1up sooner or later. Remember - Reunion HCs stated they will want to become #1 alliance on their meeting yesterday which gives Skyhead's BG some backup in political influence: "Without us you won't end #1 alliance, so you better play as we tell you" (weak argument, I know, but Reunion are a new alliance and they do cope with some internal issues as they also pointed out).
Whatever - let's wait for what will happen, I expect all alliances inside top 4 have their plans for any possible situation.
