You can do it in the conquest path, if you duel the queen the rebels are locked to hostile for that playthrough.

You can also lock it off by the first screen of the actual game, what you do with the captured rebel can disable it.

Bear in mind that Tyranny is a choice between flavours of evil, the rebel path is well hidden and easily disabled for a reason.
Yes, and I certainly find it quite refreshing.
